The Pathway Tools Schema
SRI InternationalBioinformaticsMotivations for Understanding
Schema
Pathway Tools visualizations and analyses depend upon the software being able to find precise information in precise places within a Pathway/Genome DB
A Pathway/Genome Database is a web of interconnected objects; each object represents a biological entity
SRI InternationalBioinformaticsMotivations for Understanding
Pathway Tools Schema
When writing complex queries to PGDBs, those queries must refer to classes and slots within the schema
Queries using Lisp, Perl, Java APIs Queries using Query Page Queries using Structured Advanced Query Form

SRI InternationalBioinformaticsRegulation
Reorganization and expansion of regulation under way in Pathway Tools
Initial application to EcoCyc
Class Regulation with subclasses that describe different biochemical mechanisms of regulation
Slots: Regulator Regulated-Entity Mode Mechanism
SRI InternationalBioinformaticsRegulation of Enzyme Activity
Class Regulation-of-Enzyme-ActivityEach instance of the class describes one
regulatory interaction
Slots: Regulator -- usually a small molecule Regulated-Entity -- an Enzymatic-Reaction Mechanism -- One of:
Competitive, Uncompetitive, Noncompetitive, Irreversible, Allosteric, Unkmech, Other
Mode -- One of: + , -
SRI InternationalBioinformaticsTranscription Initiation
Class Regulation-of-Transcription-Initiation
Slots: Regulator -- instance of Proteins or Complexes (a
transcription-factor) Regulated-Entity -- instance of Promoters or Transcription-
Units or Genes Mode -- One of: + , -
SRI InternationalBioinformaticsAttenuation
Class Transcriptional-AttenuationSeveral subclasses depending on type of
attenuation
Slots common to all: Regulator -- Depends on subtype of attenuation Regulated-Entity -- instance of Terminators or Genes or
Transcription-Units Mode -- One of: + , -
SRI InternationalBioinformaticsAttenuation Subtypes
Small-Molecule-Mediated-Attenuation Regulator = A small molecule Leader transcript binds small molecule and determines
formation of terminator or antiterminatorRNA-Polymerase-Modification
Regulator = instance of Proteins or Complexes Regulatory protein binds to site in transcription unit and
interacts with RNA polymerase to determine terminationRNA-Mediated-AttenuationRibosome-Mediated-AttenuationRho-Blocking-AntiterminationProtein-Mediated-Attenuation

Instance frame ID conventions have evolved over time
