Record category colour key

Row and badge colours are carried over from the fill colours of the source workbook, and encode how well characterised an entry is.

Model organism, annotation ≥ 4. Entry from an established model organism with a UniProt annotation score of 4 or 5.
Non-model organism, annotation 4–5. Well-annotated entry from an organism outside the model set.
Lower annotation. UniProt annotation level 1–3, or no level assigned.
Annotation level below 4. Flagged on the record page and in the family table; treat curated enzymology for these entries as provisional.
Verified PDB CCD code. The acceptor identifier corresponds to a chemical component defined in the PDB Chemical Component Dictionary.
userCCD modelling identifier. A locally defined identifier used for modelling where no PDB component exists.

Controlled vocabularies

Fold type

GT-A and GT-B denote the two Rossmann-like nucleotide-binding fold classes that account for most soluble glycosyltransferases; GT-C denotes the integral-membrane, polyprenyl-phosphate dependent fold. Entries with no structural assignment are left unpopulated.

Mechanism

Inverting and retaining describe the stereochemical outcome at the anomeric carbon of the transferred sugar relative to the donor.

Annotation level

The UniProt annotation score, 1 (least) to 5 (most annotated). Some entries carry the literal values None (no UniProt) or Correct this entry, preserved verbatim from curation.
