These methods are run by the target ’optional’.

 * rostlab−data−prosite_convert prosite.dat prosite_convert.dat
 * perl /usr/share/loctree/perl/keyindex4loctree.pl < keyindex.txt > keyindex_loctree.txt

Output format
Method outputs are deposited into −−output−dir. Each method has one or more file name extensions associated with it, see the table above. Refer to the man page of the individual methods for further details. Extensions ending with ‘gz’ are compressed with gzip(1).

OPTIONS

−−blast−processors

Number of processors to use, default = 1

−c, −−num−cpus

Make jobs, default = 1

−d, −−debug
−−help

Print a brief help message and exits.

−m, −−make−file

make file to use, default = /usr/share/predictprotein/MakefilePP.mk

−−makedebug

debug argument for make, see make(1)

−−man

This documentation page

−−method

Describes method control parameters and requests methods to run when −−target is not all. Format example:

 −−method=norsp,win=50

* begin with the method name, e.g. ‘norsp’

* list method control parameters, e.g. win=50

Not all methods support passing control parameters in this way due to their primitive command line interfaces.

−n, −−dryrun

Do not execute, just shows what is about to be run

−−numresmax

Maximum sequence length, default: 6000. Sequences longer than this will make predictprotein fail with the respective error code, see ERRORS .

−o, −−output−dir

Final location of outputfiles, required unless caching is used.

−−print−ext−method−map

Print externsion-to-method map. Useful as input file for consistency checkers. Format: <extension><tab><method>.

−−profnumresmin

Minimum sequence length required by prof, default: 17. Sequences shorter than this will make predictprotein fail with the respective error code, see ERRORS .

−−psicexe

psic wrapper executable, default: /usr/share/rost−runpsic/runNewPSIC.pl

−p, −−prot−name

Base name of result files and protein name in − for example − FASTA files. Default = ‘query’.

Valid names are of the character set "[[:alnum:]._−]".

−s, −−seq, −−sequence

one letter amino acid sequence input

−−seqfile

FASTA amino acid sequence file; if ‘−’, standard input is read

−−spkeyidx

Swiss-Prot keyword-to-identifier ’index’ file for loctree(1).

−−target=string

Method groups to run. Give this argument for each target you need. Default: the value of ‘default_targets’ in the configuration file; ‘all’ if that is not given.

Some targets of interest:

all

methods that are GPL or redistributable to non-commercial entities

optional

methods that do not fit into all

Look at /usr/share/predictprotein/MakefilePP.mk for a list of targets ("Use the source Luke").

−v, −−version

Print package version

−w, −−work−dir

Working directory, optional

Database options
−−bigblastdb

Path to comprehensive blast database

−−big80blastdb

Path to comprehensive blast database at 80% sequence identity redundancy level

−−pfam2db

Pfam v2 database, e.g. Pfam_ls

−−pfam3db

Pfam v3 database, e.g. Pfam−A.hmm

−−prodomblastdb

Obsolete. This argument is kept only to maintain compatibility with older versions.

−−prositedat

Path to ‘prosite.dat’ file, see <https://rostlab.org/owiki/index.php/Packages#Resource_definitions>

−−prositeconvdat

Path to ‘prosite_convert.dat’ file, see <https://rostlab.org/owiki/index.php/Packages#Resource_definitions>

−−swissblastdb

Path to SwissProt blast database

Cache related options
−−acl
, −−setacl

Set access control lists. Access control lists are set only in case results are stored in the cache. This option is ineffective otherwise. All previous ACLs are lost − no merging. The read bit controls browsability of results. Other bits are not used. E.g.

 u:lkajan:4,u:gyachdav:4,g:lkajan:4,o::0

−−cache−merge
−−nocache−merge

Merge/do not merge results into cache. −−cache−merge reuses results already in cache; this turns −−use−cache on automatically. −−cache−merge is incompatible with −−force−cache−store.

−−nocache−merge is the default UNLESS

−−use−cache is on and

−−noforce−cache−store is in effect and

−−target is used and

the cache is not empty

−−cache−merge is silently ignored in case the cache is empty.

−−force−cache−store
−−noforce−cache−store

Enable/disable forcing storage of results into cache. Implies −−use−cache. Default: −−noforce−cache−store

With −−noforce−cache−store when predictprotein finds cached results it simply fetches them from the cache and does no processing (even if the results are incomplete). With −−force−cache−store predictprotein does not fetch anything from the cache but does store the results, completely replacing what was cached.

−−force−cache−store is incompatible with −−cache−merge.

−−use−cache
−−nouse−cache

Use/do not use cache for predictprotein results. Default: −−nouse−cache.

Option ‘use_cache’ may be given in configuration files to override default.

ERRORS

253

Sequence is too long, see −−numresmax

254

Sequence is too short, shorter than minimum length required by prof. See −−profnumresmin.

Cache examples
Store results in cache, do not care about storing files in
−−output−dir
:

 predictprotein −−seqfile /usr/share/doc/predictprotein/examples/tquick.fasta −−method=norsp,win=100 −−use−cache −−setacl g:rostlab:7

If not in cache store, otherwise fetch results from cache into
−−output−dir
:

 predictprotein −−seqfile /usr/share/doc/predictprotein/examples/tquick.fasta −−method=norsp,win=100 −−use−cache −−setacl g:rostlab:7 −−output−dir /tmp/pp

ENVIRONMENT

PREDICTPROTEINCONF

Location of predictproteinrc configuration file to use, overriding other configuration files

FILES

/usr/share/predictprotein/predictproteinrc.default

Default configuration file. See this file for a description of the parameters.

/etc/predictproteinrc

System configuration file overriding values in /usr/share/predictprotein/predictproteinrc.default

User configuration file overriding values in /etc/predictproteinrc

NOTES

Popularity Contest
The pp-popularity-contest package included with this image sets up a cron job that will periodically anonymously submit to the Rost Lab developers statistics about the most used Rost Lab packages on this system.

This information helps us making decisions such as which packages should receive high priority when fixing bugs. It also helps us decide which packages should receive funding for further development and support. This information is also very important when the Rost Lab applies for funding.

Without the funding we receive based on the usage statistics you volunteer none of the packages on this image could be made available to you at no cost.

In case you do not wish to participate in the popularity contest please remove the pp-popularity-contest package.
