Short Communication

Recently, a very powerful web-server predictor has been established for identifying the subcellular localization of a protein based on its sequence information alone for the multi-label systems [1], in which a same protein may occur or move between two or more location sites and hence needs to be marked with the multilabel approach [2-103]. The web-server predictor is called “pLoc_ bal-mEuk”, where “bal” means the web-server has been further improved by the “balance treatment” [3-9], and “m” means the capacity able to deal with the multi-label systems. To find how the webserver is working, please do the following. Click the link at http://www.jci-bioinfo.cn/pLoc_bal-mEuk/, the top page of the pLoc_bal-mEuk webserver will appear on your computer screen, as shown in (Figure 1). Then by following the Step 2 and Step 3 in [5], you will see the predicted results shown on (Figure 2). Nearly all the success rates achieved by the web-server predictor for the eukaryotic proteins in each of the 22 subcellular locations are within the range of 90-100%, which is far beyond the reach of any of its counterparts. Besides, the web-server predictor has been developed by strictly observing the guidelines of “Chou’s 5-steps rule” and hence have the following notable merits (see, e.g., [10-90] and three comprehensive review papers [2,91,92]):

Figure 1: A semi screenshot for the top page of pLoc_balmEuk (Adapted from [5]).

Figure 2: A semi screenshot for the webpage obtained by following Step 3 of Section 3.5 (Adapted from [5]).

1. Crystal clear in logic development,

2. Completely transparent in operation,

3. Easily to repeat the reported results by other investigators,

4. With high potential in stimulating other sequenceanalyzing methods, and

5. Very convenient to be used by most experimental scientists.

For the fantastic and awesome roles of the “5-steps rule” in driving proteome, genome analyses and drug development, see a series of recent papers [2, 92-104] where the rule and its wide applications have been very impressively presented from various aspects or at different angles
