RareLSD: a manually curated database of lysosomal enzymes associated with rare diseases.

Database : the journal of biological databases and curation | 2019

RareLSD is a manually curated database of lysosomal enzymes associated with rare diseases that maintains comprehensive information of 63 unique lysosomal enzymes and 93 associated disorders. Each entry provides a complete information on the disorder that includes the name of the disease, organ affected, age of onset, available drug, inheritance pattern, defected enzyme and single nucleotide polymorphism. To facilitate users in designing drugs against these diseases, we predicted and maintained structures of lysosomal enzymes. Our information portal also contains information on biochemical assays against disease-associated enzymes obtained from PubChem. Each lysosomal entry is supported by information that includes disorders, inheritance pattern, drugs, family members, active inhibitors, etc. Eventually, a user-friendly web interface has been developed to facilitate the users in searching and browsing data in RareLSD with a wide range of options. RareLSD is integrated with sequence similarity search tools (e.g. BLAST and Smith-Waterman algorithm) for analysis. It is built on responsive templates that are compatible with most of browsers and screens including smartphones and gadgets (mobile, iPhone, iPad, tablets, etc.).

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


dbSNP (tool)

RRID:SCR_002338

Database as central repository for both single base nucleotide substitutions and short deletion and insertion polymorphisms. Distinguishes report of how to assay SNP from use of that SNP with individuals and populations. This separation simplifies some issues of data representation. However, these initial reports describing how to assay SNP will often be accompanied by SNP experiments measuring allele occurrence in individuals and populations. Community can contribute to this resource.

DrugBank (tool)

RRID:SCR_002700

Bioinformatics and cheminformatics database that combines detailed drug (i.e. chemical, pharmacological and pharmaceutical) data with comprehensive drug target (i.e. sequence, structure, and pathway) information.

GeneCards (tool)

RRID:SCR_002773

Database of human genes that provides concise genomic, proteomic, transcriptomic, genetic and functional information on all known and predicted human genes. Information featured in GeneCards includes orthologies, disease relationships, mutations and SNPs, gene expression, gene function, pathways, protein-protein interactions, related drugs and compounds and direct links to cutting edge research reagents and tools such as antibodies, recombinant proteins, clones, expression assays and RNAi reagents.

PubChem (tool)

RRID:SCR_004284

Collection of information about chemical structures and biological properties of small molecules and siRNA reagents hosted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).

PubMed (tool)

RRID:SCR_004846

Public bibliographic database that provides access to citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Citations may include links to full-text content from PubMed Central and publisher web sites. PubMed citations and abstracts include fields of biomedicine and health, covering portions of life sciences, behavioral sciences, chemical sciences, and bioengineering. Provides access to additional relevant web sites and links to other NCBI molecular biology resources. Publishers of journals can submit their citations to NCBI and then provide access to full-text of articles at journal web sites using LinkOut.
