cleave-methods: Cleavage of polypeptide sequences

In sgibb/cleaver: Cleavage of Polypeptide Sequences

Cleavage of polypeptide sequences

Description

This functions cleave polypeptide sequences. Use cleavageSites to find the cleavage sites, cleavageRanges to find the cleavage ranges and cleave to get the cleavage products.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'character'
cleave(x, enzym = "trypsin", missedCleavages = 0,
                             custom = NULL, unique = TRUE)

## S4 method for signature 'AAString'
cleave(x, enzym = "trypsin", missedCleavages = 0,
                            custom = NULL, unique = TRUE)

## S4 method for signature 'AAStringSet'
cleave(x, enzym = "trypsin", missedCleavages = 0,
                               custom = NULL, unique = TRUE)

## S4 method for signature 'character'
cleavageRanges(x, enzym = "trypsin", missedCleavages = 0,
                                     custom = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'AAString'
cleavageRanges(x, enzym = "trypsin", missedCleavages = 0,
                                    custom = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'AAStringSet'
cleavageRanges(x, enzym = "trypsin", missedCleavages = 0,
                                       custom = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'character'
cleavageSites(x, enzym = "trypsin", custom = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'AAString'
cleavageSites(x, enzym = "trypsin", custom = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'AAStringSet'
cleavageSites(x, enzym = "trypsin", custom = NULL)

Arguments

x	polypeptide sequences.
enzym	character, cleavage rule.
missedCleavages	numeric, number of missed cleavages.
custom	character, of length 1 or 2. Could be used to define own cleaveage rules. The first element would be the pattern and the optional second element would be an exception (non-cleavage) pattern. Perl-like regular expressions are supported, see gregexpr for details. If custom is set the enzym is ignored.
unique	logical, if TRUE all duplicated cleavage products per peptide are removed.

Details

The cleavage rules are taken from: https://web.expasy.org/peptide_cutter/peptidecutter_enzymes.html

Value

cleave

If x is a character it returns a list of the same length as x. Each element contains a character vector with the corresponding cleavage products of the polypeptides. If x is an AAString or an AAStringSet an AAStringSet or an AAStringSetList instance of the same length as x is returned. Each element contains an AAString or an AAStringSet instance with the corresponding cleavage products of the polypeptides.

cleavageRanges

If x is a character it returns a list of the same length as x. Each element contains a two-column matrix with the start and end positions of the peptides. If x is an AAString or an AAStringSet instance an IRanges or an IRangesList of the same length as x is returned.

cleavageSites

Returns a list of the same length as x. Each element contains an integer vector with the cleavage positions.

Overview:

Input	cleave	cleavageRanges	cleavageSites
character	list of character	list of matrix	list of integer
AAString	AAStringSet	IRanges	list of integer
AAStringSet	AAStringSetList	IRangesList	list of integer
