Minutes GOC Satellite meeting 5:30 - 6:30 Thursday 19th May 2011 LA

  • David, Ruth, Doug, Tanya, Becky, Paola, Stan
  • Currently only 2 GO terms in this ontology:
    • Cardiac conduction
    • Atrioventricular node impulse conduction delay
  • Missing links/terms
    • regulation of cardiac muscle contraction
    • regulation of heart rate
    • strength of heart contraction
    • blood pressure
    • sensing
    • systemic signaling
    • hormone signaling (note forth coming development of this domain)
    • action potential
    • long synaptic potential
    • synaptic plasticity
    • regulation of membrane potential
  • Ontology for development of the cardiac conduction system pretty much sorted, maybe a few additional cell types to add, but this shouldn't be the scope of this workshop.
  • Workshop for ontology for neurological terms on 7th September 2011 - NOTE This has been delayed and might happen the week after the London GOC meeting/cardiac conduction workshop, but it's not sure yet.
    • Ideally Paola to attend this meeting (note Paola has a neurobiology background)

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)
    • Book rooms
    • Ask experts to review blood pressure ontology
    • Ask Varsha for her draft ontology
  • David and Tanya
    • Set up overview of ontology
  • Paola
    • Pacemaker
  • Susan
    • Look at differences and similarities between Drosophila and mammalian cardiac conduction processes
  • Becky
    • Look at key signaling pathways that regulate heart rate & cardiac conduction.

Ontology queries

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

  • what does 'density' in the phrase 'sodium channel current (INa) density' mean?

mutations in multiple ion channel genes including KCNQ1, KCNE2, KCNJ2, KCNA5, SUR2A, and SCN5A as well as the gap junction gene GJA5 and the nuclear protein NUP155 have been associated with AF.
