Changes concerning the controlled vocabulary for PTMs

We are continuously overhauling the annotation of post-translational modifications (PTMs). For the feature key MOD_RES, the new introduced controlled vocabularies for PTMs are:

• Flavin binding: All entries with annotated flavin-binding sites have the keyword Flavoprotein.

   FMN phosphoryl serine (Keyword: FMN)    
   FMN phosphoryl threonine (Keyword: FMN) 
   O-8alpha-FAD tyrosine (Keyword: FAD)    
   S-4a-FMN cysteine (Keyword: FMN)        
   S-6-FMN cysteine (Keyword: FMN)        
   S-8alpha-FAD cysteine (Keyword: FAD)    
   Tele-8alpha-FAD histidine (Keyword: FAD)
   Tele-8alpha-FMN histidine (Keyword: FMN)
  

• Hydroxylation: All entries with annotated hydroxylation sites have the keyword Hydroxylation.

   4,5-dihydroxylysine       
   3,4-dihydroxyproline
  

• Other new controlled vocabularies for PTMs that are annotated with the feature key MOD_RES:

   O-(sn-1-glycerophosphoryl)serine
