Protein

lamindb provides access to the following public Protein ontologies through bionty:

  1. Uniprot

Here we show how to access and search Protein ontologies to standardize new data.

import bionty as bt
import pandas as pd
💡 connected lamindb: testuser1/test-public-ontologies

PublicOntology objects

Let us create a public ontology accessor with .public method, which chooses a default public ontology source from PublicSource. It’s a PublicOntology object, which you can think about as a public registry:

proteins = bt.Protein.public(organism="human")
proteins
/opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.10.14/x64/lib/python3.10/site-packages/rich/live.py:231: UserWarning: install 
"ipywidgets" for Jupyter support
  warnings.warn('install "ipywidgets" for Jupyter support')


PublicOntology
Entity: Protein
Organism: human
Source: uniprot, 2023-03
#terms: 207892

As for registries, you can export the ontology as a DataFrame:

df = proteins.df()
df.head()
uniprotkb_id name length synonyms gene_symbol ensembl_gene_ids
0 A0A023HJ61 HRES-1/RAB4 variant 121 RAB4A
1 A0A023HN28 SRSF3/USP6 fusion protein 16 None
2 A0A023I7F4 Cytochrome b 380 CYTB
3 A0A023I7H2 NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 5 (EC 7.1... 603 ND5
4 A0A023I7H5 ATP synthase subunit a 226 ATP6

Unlike registries, you can also export it as a Pronto object via public.ontology.

Look up terms

As for registries, terms can be looked up with auto-complete:

lookup = proteins.lookup()

The . accessor provides normalized terms (lower case, only contains alphanumeric characters and underscores):

lookup.ac3
Protein(uniprotkb_id='Q8IX81', name='AC3', length=502, synonyms='', gene_symbol=None, ensembl_gene_ids='')

To look up the exact original strings, convert the lookup object to dict and use the [] accessor:

lookup_dict = lookup.dict()
lookup_dict["AC3"]
Protein(uniprotkb_id='Q8IX81', name='AC3', length=502, synonyms='', gene_symbol=None, ensembl_gene_ids='')

By default, the name field is used to generate lookup keys. You can specify another field to look up:

lookup = proteins.lookup(proteins.gene_symbol)
lookup.rab4a
[Protein(uniprotkb_id='A0A087WYT5', name='RAB4A', length=113, synonyms='member RAS oncogene family', gene_symbol='RAB4A', ensembl_gene_ids='ENST00000618010.4'),
 Protein(uniprotkb_id='P20338', name='Ras-related protein Rab-4A (EC 3.6.5.2)', length=218, synonyms='', gene_symbol='RAB4A', ensembl_gene_ids='ENST00000366690.5'),
 Protein(uniprotkb_id='A0A024R3U9', name='Ras-related protein Rab-4', length=218, synonyms='', gene_symbol='RAB4A', ensembl_gene_ids=''),
 Protein(uniprotkb_id='A0A023HJ61', name='HRES-1/RAB4 variant', length=121, synonyms='', gene_symbol='RAB4A', ensembl_gene_ids='')]

Search terms

Search behaves in the same way as it does for registries:

proteins.search("RAS").head(3)
uniprotkb_id length synonyms gene_symbol ensembl_gene_ids __ratio__
name
isoform CRA_a A0A024QZG3 282 Activating transcription factor 5 ATF5 90.0
Carbonic anhydrase 10 I3L375 276 CA10 ENST00000575181.1 90.0
Carbonic anhydrase 4 K7ENI8 38 CA4 ENST00000591725.1 90.0

By default, search also covers synonyms:

proteins.search("member of RAS oncogene family like 2B").head(3)
uniprotkb_id length synonyms gene_symbol ensembl_gene_ids __ratio__
name
RAB A8MXF6 165 member of RAS oncogene family like 2B RABL2B ENST00000395591.5 100.0
RAB F8WF50 129 member of RAS oncogene family like 3 RABL3 ENST00000473654.5 100.0
RAB C9JFZ0 20 member of RAS oncogene family like 2B RABL2B ENST00000413505.1 100.0

You can turn this off synonym by passing synonyms_field=None:

proteins.search("member of RAS oncogene family like 2B", synonyms_field=None).head(3)
uniprotkb_id length synonyms gene_symbol ensembl_gene_ids __ratio__
name
MAS1 oncogene-like Q502V9 378 MAS1L 61.818182
MYB proto-oncogene like 1 E7EWZ1 410 MYBL1 ENST00000517885.5 61.290323
Cbl proto-oncogene like 1 F8WEM5 67 CBLL1 ENST00000432748.5 58.064516

Search another field (default is .name):

proteins.search(
    "RABL2B",
    field=proteins.gene_symbol,
).head()
uniprotkb_id name length synonyms ensembl_gene_ids __ratio__
gene_symbol
RABL2B C9JFZ0 RAB 20 member of RAS oncogene family like 2B ENST00000413505.1 100.0

RABL2B F2Z2T3 RAB 99 member of RAS oncogene family like 2B ENST00000395590.5 100.0

Standardize Protein identifiers

Let us generate a DataFrame that stores a number of Protein identifiers, some of which corrupted:

df_orig = pd.DataFrame(
    index=[
        "A0A024QZ08",
        "X6RLV5",
        "X6RM24",
        "A0A024QZQ1",
        "This protein does not exist",
    ]
)
df_orig
A0A024QZ08
X6RLV5
X6RM24
A0A024QZQ1
This protein does not exist

We can check whether any of our values are validated against the ontology reference:

validated = proteins.validate(df_orig.index, proteins.name)
df_orig.index[~validated]
5 terms (100.00%) are not validated: A0A024QZ08, X6RLV5, X6RM24, A0A024QZQ1, This protein does not exist
Index(['A0A024QZ08', 'X6RLV5', 'X6RM24', 'A0A024QZQ1',
       'This protein does not exist'],
      dtype='object')

Ontology source versions

For any given entity, we can choose from a number of versions:

bt.PublicSource.filter(entity="Protein").df()
uid entity organism currently_used source source_name version url md5 source_website run_id created_by_id updated_at

When instantiating a Bionty object, we can choose a source or version:

public_source = bt.PublicSource.filter(
    source="uniprot", version="2023-03", organism="human"
).one()
proteins= bt.Protein.public(public_source=public_source)
proteins
