I'm trying to match a list of uniprot mouse IDs with ensembl protein, transcript, and gene IDs.

So I download biomaRt data:

require(biomaRt,quietly=T)

mart <- useMart(biomart="ensembl",dataset = "mmusculus_gene_ensembl")

mart.df <- getBM(attributes = c("uniprot_swissprot","uniprot_sptrembl","ensembl_gene_id","external_gene_name","description"),mart=mart)

However, many in my list of uniprot mouse IDs do not have a match in the mart.df I downloaded. 

For example:

Q922S4 is in my data, has a uniprot page (http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q922S4) but does not match neither in mart.df$uniprot_swissprot nor in mart.df$uniprot_sptrembl. However, if I follow the cross-ref link to UCSC (http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGene?hgg_gene=uc009ioq.3&org=mouse) and from there follow the cross-ref link to ensembl (http://uswest.ensembl.org/Mus_musculus/Gene/Summary?g=ENSMUSG00000030653;r=7:101410886-101512819;t=ENSMUST00000084894), the latter page has a link to uniprot accession: F7D3W5 (http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/F7D3W5). In contrast to Q922S4, F7D3W5 is an unreviewed entry.

 

So my questions are:

1. Is there any way to download from biomaRt both reviewed and unreviewed uniprot proteins? So I can guarantee to match my data?

2. Why is biomaRt even holding the unreviewed accession over the reviewed ones?

Rather than a discussion on keeping multiple IDs in sync across multiple databases, which is something that has proved challenging for as long as I've been in this field, for now I'll offer a possible solution based on gene names, which I find to be slightly more reliable between sources. Suffice to say, this isn't something that biomaRt (the R package) has any control over, it just gets information from the database you point it at, so you may get a more comprehensive response from someone directly involved with Ensembl or Uniprot.

First we can use the httr package to query Uniprot directly and convert a list of Uniprot IDs into gene names.

library(httr)
my_protein_ids <- c('Q922S4', 'Q9UM73')
results <- POST(url = "http://www.uniprot.org/mapping/",
                body = list(from = 'ID',
                            to = 'GENENAME',
                            format = 'tab',
                            query = paste(my_protein_ids, collapse = ' ')))

uniprot_results <- content(results, type = 'text/tab-separated-values', 
                           col_names = TRUE, 
                           col_types = NULL, 
                           encoding = "ISO-8859-1")

We can then query Ensembl Biomart using those gene names to get the Ensembl gene, transcript and protein identifiers.

library(biomaRt)
mart <- useMart(biomart="ensembl", dataset = "mmusculus_gene_ensembl")

mart.df <- getBM(attributes = c("external_gene_name", "ensembl_gene_id",
                                "ensembl_transcript_id","ensembl_peptide_id"),
                 filter = c("external_gene_name"),
                 values = uniprot_results$To,
                 mart = mart)

And my results look like this:

> mart.df
   external_gene_name    ensembl_gene_id ensembl_transcript_id ensembl_peptide_id
