Description
SWISS::CCalt_prod represents a comment on the topic 'ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS' within a Swiss-
Prot or TrEMBL entry as specified in the user manual
http://www.expasy.org/sprot/userman.html . Comments on other topics are stored in other
types of objects, such as SWISS::CC (see SWISS::CCs for more information).
Collectively, comments of all types are stored within a SWISS::CCs container object.
Code example:
This example is given to illustrate the internal construction of an CCalt_prod object.
However, for most purposes it should be possible to use the convenience methods provided
(e.g. the add, delete, get and set methods doocumented below) instead of constructing the
section manually. The use of the convenience methods is also recommended to ensure the
structual integrity of the CCalt_prod object.
## Create a new named isoform
my %thisFormHash;
## give this some properties
# some properties are single data values
$thisFormHash{"Name"} = "This";
# some properties are lists of values
push @{$thisFormHash{"Synonyms"}}, "That";
push @{$thisFormHash{"Synonyms"}}, "The Other";
push @{$thisFormHash{"IsoId"}}, "P00000-01";
push @{$thisFormHash{"IsoId"}}, "P00000-02";
push @{$thisFormHash{"Sequence"}}, "VSP_000001";
push @{$thisFormHash{"Sequence"}}, "VSP_000002";
$thisFormHash{"Notes"} = "This local note";
## put this form onto a list of all forms created by one type of event
my @newFormsList;
push @newFormsList, \%thisFormHash;
## put this list into a hash describing all characteristics of this event
my %eventHash;
$eventHash{"FormsList"} = \@newFormsList;
## set other values of this event
$eventHash{"Comment"} = "This Comment";
## put the description of this event into a hash descrinbing all events
my %eventsHash;
$eventsHash{"Alternative splicing"} = \%eventHash;
## put a reference to this hash into the CCalt_products object
my $hashRef;
$hashRef = \%eventsHash;
my $newCC = SWISS::CCalt_prod;
$newCC->setEvents($hashRef);
$newCC->toString();
More simply, using the convenience methods addComment and addForm:
@synonyms = ("That", "The other");
@isoIds = ("P00000-1", "P00000-2");
@featIds = ("VSP_00001", "VSP_00002");
my $newCC = SWISS::CCalt_prod;
$newCC -> addComment("Alternative splicing", "This comment");
$newCC -> addForm("Alternative splicing",
"This",
\@synonyms,
\@isoIds,
\@featIds,
"This local note");
print $newCC -> toString();
Output from both approaches:
CC -!- ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS:
CC Event=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=1;
CC Comment=This comment.
CC Name=This; Synonyms=That, The other;
CC IsoId=P00000-1, P00000-2; Sequence=VSP_00001, VSP_00002;
CC Note=This local note.
Example of adding evidence tags to a synonym:
$CC -> addEvidenceTag('EP8', "Alternative splicing", "Synonyms", "VI", "B");
to add the tag 'EP8' to synonym B of isoform VI, produced by alternative splicing
Handling mutliple events:
With the release of UniProt 8.0, the format of the CC ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS blocks has
changed slightly. In particular, isoforms are no longer stored according to the events
that have generated them, so this:
CC -!- ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS:
CC Event=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=1;
CC Comment=This comment.
CC Name=This; Synonyms=That, The other;
CC IsoId=P00000-1, P00000-2; Sequence=VSP_00001, VSP_00002;
CC Note=This local note.
CC Event=Alternative initiation;
CC Comment=Another comment.
has become this:
CC -!- ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS:
CC Event=Alternative splicing, Alternative initation; Named isoforms=1;
CC Comment=This comment. Another comment;
CC Name=This; Synonyms=That, The other;
CC IsoId=P00000-1, P00000-2; Sequence=VSP_00001, VSP_00002;
CC Note=Produced by alternative splicing. This local note;
The API is quite event-centric, reflecting the previous file format (where different
content was available according to the event type). To get all isoforms (for whatever
events are annotated) under the new format, do:
$CC->keyEvent;
which will return an arbitrary event that can be used a parameter in other methods. Any
of the events annotated will function as parameters to retrieve information about
assocaticated isoforms: it is not necessary to supply the complete list.

Standard methods

fromText
Reading/Writing methods
addEvent ($eventName)
Allows the user to insert "events blocks" into the CCalt_prod object.
addEvidenceTag($tag, $event, $type, $name, $synonym)
Add $tag to the tag list associated with the specified component of a CCalt_prod
object. The event and type (of the item to which the tag is to be added, i.e.
"Comment", "Name", "Note", or "Synonyms") must always be specified: unless the type is
"Comment", the name must also be specifed (i.e. the contents of the Name field for the
isoform to which the tag is being attached); the name of the synonym to which the tag
are being attached must also be given if the type is "Synonyms".
addForm ($eventName, $formName, \@synonyms, \@isoIds, \@featIds, $note)
Allows the user to add a form into a given event block. See code example (above) for
more details.
deleteComment ($eventName)
Deletes the comment associated with this event.
deleteEvent ($eventName)
Deletes an event from this CCalt_prod objects.
deleteEvidenceTag($tag, $event, $type, $name, $synonym)
Deletes $tag from the tag list associated with the specified component of a CCalt_prod
object. The event and type (of the item from which the tag is to be deleted, i.e.
"Comment", "Name", "Note", or "Synonyms") must always be specified: unless the type is
"Comment", the name must also be specifed (i.e. the contents of the Name field for
the isoform from which the tag is being deleted); the name of the synonym from which
the tag is being deleted must also be given if the type is "Synonyms".
