MCSdb

MCSdb documents proteins residing in membrane contact sites as a manually curated database to accelerate MCS functional interpretation and interorganelle communication deciphering.

Key Features:

• Manually curated data collection: MCSdb catalogs 7010 MCS protein entries and 263 complexes compiled from publications.
• Multi-species and multi-organelle coverage: The database involves 24 organelles and 44 membrane contact sites across 11 species.
• Categorized data organization: MCSdb orchestrates all data into different categories with multitudinous information for presenting MCS proteins.

Scientific Applications:

• MCS functional interpretation: MCSdb accelerates the functional interpretation of membrane contact sites.
• Interorganelle communication analysis: MCSdb supports deciphering of interorganelle communication.

Methodology:

Data were manually curated from publications.
