== Ontology queries ==
=== SCN5A ===
encodes for the major cardiac voltage-gated Na+ channel (PMID:14500339<ref>PMID:14500339</ref>) which is associated with human arrhythmic syndromes (PMID:21895525<ref>PMID:21895525</ref>).
Which of the following process terms should it be annotated to
* [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0060048#term=info cardiac muscle contraction] (regulation term better)
* [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0060452#term=info positive regulation of cardiac muscle contraction]
* [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0010460#term=info positive regulation of heart rate], or just regulation of heart rate?
* New term: sodium ion import is a child to [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0035725#term=info sodium ion transmembrane transport]
* New term: action potential propagation via sodium ion import is a child to [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0035725#term=info sodium ion transmembrane transport]
* [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0061337#term=info cardiac conduction]
* [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0060372#term=info regulation of atrial cardiomyocyte membrane repolarization] (or new parent atrial cardiomyocyte membrane repolarization)
* [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0060307#term=info regulation of ventricular cardiomyocyte membrane repolarization] (or new parent term: ventricular cardiomyocyte membrane repolarization)
* [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0045760#term=info positive regulation of action potential] or new term initiation of action potential, or is 'action potential' covered by [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0051899#term=info membrane depolarization]
* in line with [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0014861#term=info regulation of skeletal muscle contraction via membrane action potential] new term regulation of cardiomyocyte contraction via membrane action potential
* [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0051899#term=info membrane depolarization]
* [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0060373#term=info regulation of ventricular cardiomyocyte membrane depolarization]
* [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0060371#term=info regulation of atrial cardiomyocyte membrane depolarization]
* New GO term cardiomyocyte/heart refractory period
* New GO term propagation of the action potential, or is this covered by [http://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/GTerm?id=GO:0051899#term=info membrane depolarization]
* New GO term(s) to describe 'plateau phase of the cardiac action potential', 'persistent or late inward current (INaL)', 'duration of the cardiac action potential', 'current decay'.
* mutation in SCN5A leads to a prologation of Q-T interval, need some parent terms such as 'regulation of cardiomyocyte membrane depolarization', 'regulation of cardiomyocyte membrane repolarization' 'regulation of cardiomyocyte membrane potential' to capture information about changes in the ECG measurements.
* At present the GO term GO:0008015 'blood circulation' is only linked to SNC5A via 'regulation' term (eg positive regulation of cardiac muscle contraction), should SNC5A be transitively associated with 'blood circulation', and if so how?
* PMID:21051419 describes SCN5A as responsible for the early fast depolarization upstroke of the cardiac action potential, would this be covered by new GO term ventricular cardiomyocyte membrane repolarization.
=== SCN1B ===
Sodium channel β1- and β2-subunits (SCN1B, SCN2B) also associated with cardiac conduction associated diseases (PMID:19808477<ref>PMID:19808477</ref>). From this paper: Functions attributed to β-subunits include an increase in sodium channel expression at the cell surface, modulation of channel gating and voltage dependence, and a role in cell adhesion and recruitment of cytosolic proteins such as ankyrin G.
* would it be appropriate to annotate with GO:0090314 positive regulation of sodium channel targeting to membrane, and to use Column 16 to identify SCN5A as the target, or to request new GO term positive regulation of protein targeting to plasma membrane
* GO:0090072 positive regulation of sodium ion transport via voltage-gated sodium channel activity covers 'modulation of channel gating', but does it also capture 'modulation of voltage dependence'
* GO:0070201 regulation of establishment of protein localization? or
** New GO term: regulation of establishment of sodium channel localization in plasma membrane is_a child of GO:0090003 regulation of establishment of protein localization in plasma membrane
* described as auxiliary function-modifying β-subunits, so should they be annotated (as they are) to the GO function term GO:0005248 voltage-gated sodium channel activity?
* Mutation in SCN1B associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), if this is associated with an absence of P waves can this be annotated as GO:0060371 regulation of atrial cardiomyocyte membrane depolarization? Although it looks like the ECGs were mostly normal (saddle-back type ST-segment elevation in some patients).
PMID:14622265 cloning a splicing variant of SCN1B, are sufficient GO terms available to capture these neurological statements?
Functional studies in oocytes demonstrate that the human β1B subunit increases the ionic current when coexpressed with the tetrodotoxin sensitive channel, NaV1.2, without significantly changing voltage dependent kinetics and steady-state properties.
GO:0003254 regulation of membrane depolarization, can GO provide a more specific term?
Splicing variant 1B only regulation of NaV1.2 was to increase the sodium current density.
* New GO term: positive regulation of sodium current density (what is density?)
=== SCN3B ===
PMID:19796257 K/O mouse
* GO:0010460 positive regulation of heart rate (ECG confirmes K/O slower Heart rate)
* GO:0060371 regulation of atrial cardiomyocyte membrane depolarization (K/O has longer P wave duration) do we need positive and negative terms?
* GO:0061338 atrioventricular node impulse conduction delay (K/O showed evidence of A-V heart block; atrial deflections, irregularly timed; ventricular deflections, asynchronous and at irregular intervals)
* New GO term sinoatrial node conduction? (K/O missing atrial deflections in the BEG recordings: suggestive of sinus node exit block)
PMID: 21051419:  3 non-synonymous SCN3B mutations associated with Atrial fibrillation (AF)
* GO:0090072 positive regulation of sodium ion transport via voltage-gated sodium channel activity to capture mutations in SCN3B led to a decrease in peak current density and/or steady-state inactivation (transient transfection of CHO cells).
=== KCNQ1 & KCNE1 ===
PMID:8900283 cotransfection into CHO cells
* GO:0005251 delayed rectifier potassium channel activity, (associated with KCNQ1) this term should have additional GO parents see SourceForge item.
* KCNQ1 & KCNE1 coassemble to form I(Ks) channels, and dysfunction of I(Ks) channels and mutations in KCNQ1 cause Long QT interval syndrome.
** Can we have a GO term which links the channel activity with cardiomyocyte membrane depolorization? And link cardiomyocyte membrane depolorization with regulation of cardiac muscle contraction?
*** See SCN5A suggestion: new term regulation of cardiomyocyte contraction via membrane action potential
* Also need new GO term similar to GO:0090072 (sodium channel term) positive regulation of potassium ion transport via voltage-gated potassium channel activity
PMID: 8528244 mutations in KCNQ1 lead to cardiac arrhythmias
* Authors state: prolongation of the QT interval is an indication of abnormal cardiac repolarization. Can a Long QT interval be caused by abnormal depolarization?
* new GO term: cardiomyocyte membrane repolarization, as atrial or ventricular not identified
* added GO:0060306 regulation of membrane repolarization based on this mutation, but cardiomyocyte membrane repolarization would be a better annotation.
=== Other ===
mutations in multiple ion channel genes including KCNQ1, KCNE2, KCNJ2, KCNA5, SUR2A, and SCN5A as well as the gap junction gene GJA5, the nuclear protein NUP155, and the atrial natriuretic peptide precursor NPPA have been associated with atrial fibrillation (AF).

    • Cardiac conduction
    • Atrioventricular node impulse conduction delay
  • Missing links/terms
    • regulation of cardiac muscle contraction (exists, GO:0055117)
    • regulation of heart rate (exists, GO:0002027)
    • strength of heart contraction (heart contraction exists, GO:0060047, regulation terms as well)
    • blood pressure (regulation of blood pressure exists, GO:0008217, ROBQ&)

Action items

  • All:
    • Work towards identifying scope of workshop, set by mid July
    • Set up table for annotation guide - what genes to annotate to these new GO terms, perhaps capture experimental information here. Eg how to interpret changes in P or QRS intervals associated with specific genes.
    • Add figures to wiki to illustrate cardiac conduction processes
    • Add useful reviews/papers to wiki
  • Ruth:
    • Contact experts above (max 5 experts)

SCN5A

encodes for the major cardiac voltage-gated Na+ channel (PMID:14500339[1]) which is associated with human arrhythmic syndromes (PMID:21895525[2]). Which of the following process terms should it be annotated to

SCN1B

Sodium channel β1- and β2-subunits (SCN1B, SCN2B) also associated with cardiac conduction associated diseases (PMID:19808477[3]). From this paper: Functions attributed to β-subunits include an increase in sodium channel expression at the cell surface, modulation of channel gating and voltage dependence, and a role in cell adhesion and recruitment of cytosolic proteins such as ankyrin G.

  • would it be appropriate to annotate with GO:0090314 positive regulation of sodium channel targeting to membrane, and to use Column 16 to identify SCN5A as the target, or to request new GO term positive regulation of protein targeting to plasma membrane
  • GO:0090072 positive regulation of sodium ion transport via voltage-gated sodium channel activity covers 'modulation of channel gating', but does it also capture 'modulation of voltage dependence'
  • GO:0070201 regulation of establishment of protein localization? or
    • New GO term: regulation of establishment of sodium channel localization in plasma membrane is_a child of GO:0090003 regulation of establishment of protein localization in plasma membrane
  • described as auxiliary function-modifying β-subunits, so should they be annotated (as they are) to the GO function term GO:0005248 voltage-gated sodium channel activity?
  • Mutation in SCN1B associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), if this is associated with an absence of P waves can this be annotated as GO:0060371 regulation of atrial cardiomyocyte membrane depolarization? Although it looks like the ECGs were mostly normal (saddle-back type ST-segment elevation in some patients).

PMID:14622265 cloning a splicing variant of SCN1B, are sufficient GO terms available to capture these neurological statements? Functional studies in oocytes demonstrate that the human β1B subunit increases the ionic current when coexpressed with the tetrodotoxin sensitive channel, NaV1.2, without significantly changing voltage dependent kinetics and steady-state properties. GO:0003254 regulation of membrane depolarization, can GO provide a more specific term?

Splicing variant 1B only regulation of NaV1.2 was to increase the sodium current density.

  • New GO term: positive regulation of sodium current density (what is density?)

SCN3B

PMID:19796257 K/O mouse

  • GO:0010460 positive regulation of heart rate (ECG confirmes K/O slower Heart rate)
  • GO:0060371 regulation of atrial cardiomyocyte membrane depolarization (K/O has longer P wave duration) do we need positive and negative terms?
  • GO:0061338 atrioventricular node impulse conduction delay (K/O showed evidence of A-V heart block; atrial deflections, irregularly timed; ventricular deflections, asynchronous and at irregular intervals)
  • New GO term sinoatrial node conduction? (K/O missing atrial deflections in the BEG recordings: suggestive of sinus node exit block)

PMID: 21051419: 3 non-synonymous SCN3B mutations associated with Atrial fibrillation (AF)

  • GO:0090072 positive regulation of sodium ion transport via voltage-gated sodium channel activity to capture mutations in SCN3B led to a decrease in peak current density and/or steady-state inactivation (transient transfection of CHO cells).

KCNQ1 & KCNE1

PMID:8900283 cotransfection into CHO cells

  • GO:0005251 delayed rectifier potassium channel activity, (associated with KCNQ1) this term should have additional GO parents see SourceForge item.
  • KCNQ1 & KCNE1 coassemble to form I(Ks) channels, and dysfunction of I(Ks) channels and mutations in KCNQ1 cause Long QT interval syndrome.
    • Can we have a GO term which links the channel activity with cardiomyocyte membrane depolorization? And link cardiomyocyte membrane depolorization with regulation of cardiac muscle contraction?
      • See SCN5A suggestion: new term regulation of cardiomyocyte contraction via membrane action potential
  • Also need new GO term similar to GO:0090072 (sodium channel term) positive regulation of potassium ion transport via voltage-gated potassium channel activity

PMID: 8528244 mutations in KCNQ1 lead to cardiac arrhythmias

  • Authors state: prolongation of the QT interval is an indication of abnormal cardiac repolarization. Can a Long QT interval be caused by abnormal depolarization?
  • new GO term: cardiomyocyte membrane repolarization, as atrial or ventricular not identified
  • added GO:0060306 regulation of membrane repolarization based on this mutation, but cardiomyocyte membrane repolarization would be a better annotation.

Other

mutations in multiple ion channel genes including KCNQ1, KCNE2, KCNJ2, KCNA5, SUR2A, and SCN5A as well as the gap junction gene GJA5, the nuclear protein NUP155, and the atrial natriuretic peptide precursor NPPA have been associated with atrial fibrillation (AF).
