Directory Structure

releases/

This directory contains all of the CATH-Gene3D database releases, from the first to the latest. All previous releases are in releases/previous-releases/ and the latest release is in releases/latest-release/.

releases/daily-release/

This directory provides summary information of protein domains putatively classified in CATH since the last release.

For each date with a CATH-B entry, there should be five files, e.g.:

cath-b-20170519-all.gz

combination of the 'latest release' and 'putative entries' files

cath-b-20170519-latest-release.gz

all domains that were in the latest release of CATH

cath-b-20170519-putative.gz

the domains assigned/rechopped/reassigned in CATH since the latest release

cath-b-20170519-names-all.gz

name description of each node in the CATH hierarchy. A combination of the 'latest release' and 'putative entries' files

cath-b-20170519-s35-all.gz

all domain ids in CATH-B with their S35 cluster id and domain boundary information.

Notes:

  • These are compressed files; once downloaded you should uncompress them with a suitable program (e.g. gunzip) before use.
  • Please note that the 'latest release' and 'putative' files have no domains in common.
  • The first three files use one line per domain and use the following format:

    domain_id status putative_superfamily_id putative_chopping

  • The names file follows the file format described in ./README-cath-names-file-format.txt (a.k.a. CNF format).

releases/<release-type>/<version>/non-redundant-data-sets/

The non-redundant data sets contain a non-redundant subset of CATH domains that: * have no pair of domains (according to BLAST) with >= 20 or 40% sequence identity (depending on the data set chosen), over 60% overlap (over the longer sequence * is as big as we could make it otherwise.

Files

cath-dataset-nonredundant-S[20|40]-v4_1_0.atom.fa

The ATOM sequences of the domains in the dataset (which only contain residues that have ATOM records in the PDB file)

cath-dataset-nonredundant-S[20|40]-v4_3_0.fa

The sequences of the domains in the dataset

cath-dataset-nonredundant-S[20|40]-v4_3_0.list

A list of the domains in the dataset; one domain ID per line

cath-dataset-nonredundant-S[20|40]-v4_3_0.pdb.tgz

(A gzipped tar file containing) the PDB files of the domains in the data set

Method of Construction

The sequence comparisons are performed with an all-against-all BLAST of our domain sequences. We then use these results to identify any links with: * >= 40% sequence identity ( ie pident >= 40 ) and * >= 60% overlap over the longer sequence ( ie 100.0 * length / max(slen, qlen) >= 60 )

We use this to form a list of domains that contains no pair of linked entries. In an effort to make the list as large as possible, we build the list by iteratively choosing each domain to add to the list, ensuring that a domain is only added if it has as few linked neighbours as any other domain. This means the algorithm should nibble as many edges off a cluster as possible, rather than taking a small number of domains at the cluster's centre.

releases/<release-type>/<version>/sequence-data/

This directory contains protein domain sequence-based data.

cath-domain-seqs-*-.fa

Sequences for each CATH domain.

  • e.g. cath-domain-seqs-S35-v4_3_0.fa

Hidden Markov model (HMMs) libraries are provided for the S35 rep sequence clusters and the functional families (FunFams). A HMM is generated for each S35 sequence cluster and for each functional family using hmmbuild from the HMMER3 software package. All of the S35 sequence cluster HMMs and functional family HMMs are concatenated to create these two HMM library files:

  • cath-S35--hmm3.lib.gz
  • funfam-hmm3-.lib.gz

These are compressed files; once downloaded you should uncompress them with a suitable program (e.g. gunzip) before use. The program hmmpress should then be run on each of these files to construct binary compressed data files.

./sequence-by-superfamily/

cath-superfamily-seqs--.fa

Sequences for each CATH superfamily in FASTA format. The files have this format:

  • e.g. cath-superfamily-seqs-1.10.10.10-v4_3_0.fa
./supplementary-files/

This directory contains any supplementary files that are associated with a particular release.

supplementary-materials/

This directory contains supplementary material for published work from the group. Each subdirectory represents a different publication.
