PSORT
PSORT is a program that analyzes protein sorting signals and predicts subcellular localization. PSORTb takes as input an amino acid sequence and its source organism. Then, it analyzes the input sequence by applying the stored rules for various sequence features of known protein sorting signals. Finally, it reports the possibility for the input protein to be localized at each candidate site with additional information. In the NMPDR, PSORTb is used to compute the Cell Location Code for a protein, which is one of the criteria available in the NMPDR Target Search. PSORTb is maintained by the Brinkman Laboratory, Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada.*PSORTb v.2.0:* J.L. Gardy, M.R. Laird, F. Chen, S. Rey, C.J. Walsh, M. Ester, and F.S.L. Brinkman (2005) PSORTb v.2.0: expanded prediction of bacterial protein subcellular localization and insights gained from comparative proteome analysis, Bioinformatics *21(5):617-623*

Notice to NMPDR Users - The NMPDR BRC contract has ended and bacterial data from NMPDR has been transferred to PATRIC (http://www.patricbrc.org), a new consolidated BRC for all NIAID category A-C priority pathogenic bacteria. NMPDR was a collaboration among researchers from the Computation Institute of the University of Chicago, the Fellowship for Interpretation of Genomes (FIG), Argonne National Laboratory, and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois. NMPDR is funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, under Contract HHSN266200400042C.
