• type Type of entry. e.g. PATTERN, MATRIX, or RULE
• accession e.g. PS00387
• created Date the entry was created. (MMM-YYYY for releases before January 2017, DD-MMM-YYYY since January 2017)
• data_update Date the ‘primary’ data was last updated.
• info_update Date data other than ‘primary’ data was last updated.
• pdoc ID of the PROSITE DOCumentation.
• description Free-format description.
• pattern The PROSITE pattern. See docs.
• matrix List of strings that describes a matrix entry.
