What is GO term

[litc]

Hello, I'm a newer, I don't know about GO term, what's that mean.

I have a protein sequence, I blast it to NR and got that info:

>ref|ZP_05687769.1| acyltransferase 3 [Staphylococcus aureus A9635]
gb|EEV68775.1| acyltransferase 3 [Staphylococcus aureus A9635]
Length=603

Score = 1216 bits (3147), Expect = 0.0, Method: Compositional matrix adjust.
Identities = 600/603 (99%), Positives = 602/603 (99%), Gaps = 0/603 (0%)

Is the go term in the string : acyltransferase 3 [Staphylococcus aureus A9635]
gb|EEV68775.1| acyltransferase 3 [Staphylococcus aureus A9635],
if so, what is it?

GO is gene ontology.

What you have there is the genbank accession, functional name for the protein followed by the organism and strain number. No GO term

How could I get that protein sequence 's GO term? I really don't know about it.

Have a look at websites like KEGG or just search gene ontology in google. There are quite a few sites where you can put in accessions of gene terms and get out GO terms

Thank you very much for your quick reply, I very very appreciate it. but I'm really a newer, I got to KEGG, but don't know how to use it.

I'm interested in webs that can convert accession ids to GO terms, I google gene ontology, but found no usable info for me. could you give to some webs that can convert accession ids to GO terms.

DAVID is quite useful for GO analysis. Paste in your IDs, and specify what type they are.

You could just use BLAST on KEGG or UniProt databases to find the gene info (which generally has the GO annotations). In the case of uniProt you need the EMBL protein ID

QuickGO is good for this as well. Here's the GO annotations for your protein:

Thank you very much, I'll try it and see how far can I get.
