Reply about accuracy ProtComp comment:

 1) No 100% accurate approach and Psort is a good program
    You always can find example or groups of examples where
    the program is wrong
For example for Q91896 in SwissProt [SUBUNIT] HOMODIMER (BY SIMILARITY). [SUBCELLULAR LOCATION] CYTOPLASMIC

Psort Results: 47.8 %: nuclear
         21.7 %: mitochondrial
         13.0 %: cytoplasmic
          8.7 %: vesicles of secretory system
          4.3 %: cytoskeletal
          4.3 %: vacuolar

 _Statistic of the protein localization prediction_ (%): 
Nuclear:           0.00
Plasma membrane:   0.00
Extracellular:     0.00
Cytoplasmic:     100.00

 2) Look at the scores!, for example for nuclear Q9ZW35 even if both program wrong ProtComp (in difference with Psort) Shows that
Nuclear location practically have the same probability!

 Psort:  52.2 %: cytoplasmic
         30.4 %: mitochondrial
          8.7 %: nuclear
          4.3 %: vacuolar
          4.3 %: endoplasmic reticulum
