The JST/NBDC integrated database project has kicked off last year. JCGGDB was selected as a promotion program of DB integration, aiming to integrate all the glycan-related databases in Japan and build user- friendly search systems. As part of the project, the construction of ACGG-DB (an integrated database for the ACGG: Asian Communications for Glycobiology and Glycotechnology) is also planned in cooperation with Asian countries. As of now we have consolidated data from various Japanese institutes into JCGGDB and developed a cross-search function by keyword entry and integrated search functions by glycan stcurctures. These functions enabled users to easily access various glycan-related databases with a single search. Cheminformatics technologies using chemical structural formula for glycan has been also adopted to provide a search for glycan structures, glycan synthetic products by organic chemistry and recombinant enzymes, glycogene inhibitors, glycosides, and commercial glycans. This Summer, we have released AIST GlycoProtDB, which stores the data of experimentally-proven glycosylation sites on each mouse tissue. We are continuously accumulating experimental results of glycosylation sites, while collecting more information from scientific journals, toward the release of ACGG Glycoprotein Database in autumn. For the future, we will keep developing base technologies for DB integration and linking with databases related to glycoscience as well as other study areas. Some more bioinformatics tools are also being developed to support experimental study. Our aim is to create contents which could be easily and intuitively understood by every user.
