[BioC] Using UniProt.ws to retrieve protein features

[David_Gomez [guest]]

Hello,
I have just downloaded Bioconductor (v2.13) and the UniProt.ws (2.0.1) packages. I want to retrieve all the feature information from a protein, but when I search the column “FEATURES” I only get the number of each type of feature, but not their whole lists. Is there any way to get them?

Code example:
library(UniProt.ws)
taxId(UniProt.ws) <- 9606
kt <- "UNIPROTKB"
keys <- c("Q9UNQ0") #Human BCRP
columns <- c("UNIPROTKB", "FEATURES")
res <- select(UniProt.ws, keys, columns, kt)
res
>UNIPROTKB
>1    Q9UNQ0
>FEATURES
>1 Alternative sequence (2); Chain (1); Disulfide bond (2); Domain (2); Frameshift (2); Glycosylation (1); Mutagenesis (11); Natural variant (18); Nucleotide binding (1); Sequence conflict (9); Site (2); Topological domain (7); Transmembrane (6)

And I would like to have all the information for every one of those, as we found them in UniProt
e.g. from http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9UNQ0.txt:
FT   CHAIN         1    655       ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member
FT                                2.
FT                                /FTId=PRO_0000093386.
FT   TOPO_DOM      1    395       Cytoplasmic (Potential).
FT   TRANSMEM    396    416       Helical; (Potential).
FT   TOPO_DOM    417    428       Extracellular (Potential).
FT   TRANSMEM    429    449       Helical; (Potential).
[…]

I have already read the UniProt.ws documentation and searched for older topics but I don’t find useful information.

Thank you in advance for any help.
