<p>The annotation score provides a heuristic measure of the annotation content of a UniProtKB entry or proteome. This score <strong>cannot</strong> be used as a measure of the accuracy of the annotation as we cannot define the 'correct annotation' for any given protein.<p><a href='/help/annotation_score' target='_top'>More...</a></p>-Experimental evidence at protein leveli <p>This indicates the type of evidence that supports the existence of the protein.

Plays an essential role in the switch from lysogenic to lytic state and in fine-tuning the lytic phase activation. Mediates the de-repression of the lytic promoters from repression by cI at an early stage of prophage induction. Turns down the expression of the transcriptional activator cII, a factor that initiates the expression of repressor cI, the major component promoting latency. Additionally, cro is able to directly bind to the promoter region of cI thereby preventing the transcription of cI repressor. These two mechanisms ultimately lead to a strong decrease in the amount of cI that will become unable to maintain the latent phase, allowing the transition to lytic growth. Low level of Cro also stimulates the lytic promoters while cI repressor is still present (PubMed:29158090). Cro-mediated up-regulation of pR and pL ultimately leads to its own increased expression and to a successful switch to lytic growth (PubMed:29158090). The second function assigned to Cro is the fine-tuning of the lytic phase activation. Indeed, cro initially diminishes the strength of activation by turning down the expression of lytic genes as well as its own expression.4 Publications

<p>The checksum is a form of redundancy check that is calculated from the sequence. It is useful for tracking sequence updates.</p> <p>It should be noted that while, in theory, two different sequences could have the same checksum value, the likelihood that this would happen is extremely low.</p> <p>However UniProtKB may contain entries with identical sequences in case of multiple genes (paralogs).</p> <p>The checksum is computed as the sequence 64-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check value (CRC64) using the generator polynomial: x<sup>64</sup> + x<sup>4</sup> + x<sup>3</sup> + x + 1. The algorithm is described in the ISO 3309 standard. </p> <p class="publication">Press W.H., Flannery B.P., Teukolsky S.A. and Vetterling W.T.<br /> <strong>Cyclic redundancy and other checksums</strong><br /> <a href="http://www.nrbook.com/b/bookcpdf.php">Numerical recipes in C 2nd ed., pp896-902, Cambridge University Press (1993)</a>)</p> Checksum:i233A02DA0873E4D4
