==<font color="blue">Defining the start and end of the MAPKKK cascade</font>==


We need to define the start and end points of 'MAPKKK cascade ; GO:0000165' because the definition is out of sync with its children:
==<font color="blue">BACKGROUND</font>==


*Current definition: A cascade of at least three protein kinase activities culminating in the phosphorylation and activation of a MAP kinase. MAPKKK cascades lie downstream of numerous signaling pathways.
MAPK cascades lie downstream of many cell surface receptors and cooperate in transmitting various extracellular signals to the nucleus. One way by which the specificity of each cascade is regulated is through the existence of several distinct components in each tier of the different cascades. The cascades are typically named according to the component in the MAPK tier.


Suggested change:
The sequential phosphorylation and activation of at least three protein kinases. The MAPKKK cascade begins with activation of a MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) and ends with ????

==<font color="magenta">Term obsoletions</font>==
Ruth and Suzi pointed out that the following terms seem to describe a single-step function rather than a process. The definitions are also a bit confusing:
<pre>
activation of MAPK activity ; GO:0000187
activation of JUN kinase activity ; GO:0007257
activation of MAPK activity by adrenergic receptor signaling pathway ; GO:0071883

activation of MAPK activity involved in innate immune response ; GO:0035419

E.g
term: activation of MAPK activity ; GO:0000187
Def:The initiation of the activity of the inactive enzyme MAP kinase by phosphorylation by a MAPKK.
This term is describing the function: 'MAP kinase kinase activity ; GO:0004708'

<font color="red">*Q3: Is inactivation of MAPKKK, MAPKK and MAPK really part of the MAPKKK cascade?</font> (If they are kept, I would like to move them to the negative regulation of MAPKKK cascade term).
Proposal: we could obsolete all of the above, and add in function-process links to the MAPKKKKkkk function terms instead.
For the 'involved in' terms, annotations could be transferred to the parent terms:
<pre>
MAPKKK cascade involved in cell wall biogenesis ; GO:0000196
MAPKKK cascade involved in conjugation with cellular fusion ; GO:0071507
MAPKKK cascade involved in innate immune response ; GO:0035420
MAPKKK cascade involved in osmosensory signaling pathway ; GO:0000161
</pre>
<font color="red">*Q4: Is there ever a case where you'd want to annotate to one of the child terms rather than the 'MAPKKK cascade involved in x' parent??</font>
<font color="red">*Q5: Is there ever a case where you'd use one of the activation terms to annotate a NON-MAPKKkkkkkkk?</font>

==<font color="Navy">NEW REGULATION TERMS</font>==


For the activation/inactivation terms:
<pre>
activation of MAPKKK activity ; GO:0000185 is not connected (via a REGULATES relationship) to the function term MAP kinase kinase kinase activity ; GO:0004709
activation of MAPKK activity ; GO:0000186 is not connected (via a REGULATES relationship) to the function term MAP kinase kinase activity ; GO:0004708
activation of MAPK activity IS connected (via a REGULATES relationship) to the function term MAP kinase activity; GO:0000187:

--[R]regulation of MAP kinase activity ; GO:0043405
----[i]positive regulation of MAP kinase activity ; GO:0043406
------[i]activation of MAPK activity ; GO:0000187


If GO:0000187 is obsoleted, the 'regulation of MAP kinase activity' terms would remain. 'activation of MAPK activity can be added as a narrow_synonym for GO:0043406'.
* Created P/F links to connect the MAPK(n) activities to the downstream cascade components they activate:


I can add in 'regulation of MAPKK activity' and 'regulation of MAPKKK activity' terms to match:
E.g:

----[pos_reg]positive regulation of MAP kinase activity
------[isa]activation of MAPK activity
--------[partof]MAP kinase kinase activity (new relationship)
----------[pos_reg]positive regulation of MAP kinase kinase activity
  ------------[isa] activation of MAP kinase kinase activity

--[isa]SAP kinase activity ; GO:0016909
----[isa]JUN kinase activity ; GO:0004705


Since most people I think would search on 'MAPK' not 'MAP kinase', I've like to shorten all the function names to match process, keeping the full names as synonyms.

BACKGROUND

MAPK cascades lie downstream of many cell surface receptors and cooperate in transmitting various extracellular signals to the nucleus. One way by which the specificity of each cascade is regulated is through the existence of several distinct components in each tier of the different cascades. The cascades are typically named according to the component in the MAPK tier.


REDEFINING 'MAPK CASCADE'DONE

Renamed:

MAPKKK cascade ; GO:0000165
to
MAPK cascade ; GO:0000165

And redefined as a cascade containing at least MAPKKK, MAPKK and MAPK based on PMID 20811974 (from Paul Thomas's regulation proposal: http://gocwiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Ontology_meeting_2012-01-19. Also redefined the child terms accordingly.


PROCESS-FUNCTION RELATIONSHIPS'DONE

  • Created P/F links to connect the MAPK(n) activities to the downstream cascade components they activate:
E.g:
MAPK cascade
--[partof]MAP kinase activity (new relationship)
----[pos_reg]positive regulation of MAP kinase activity
------[isa]activation of MAPK activity
--------[partof]MAP kinase kinase activity (new relationship)
----------[pos_reg]positive regulation of MAP kinase kinase activity
------------[isa] activation of MAP kinase kinase activity
--------------[partof]MAP kinase kinase kinase activity (new relationship)
etc etc
  • Note that this is a temporary solution because we can't yet say in GO that MF regulates MF. When we can, we will able to obsolete the redundant regulation process terms in this node.


MAPK FUNCTION TERMS

  • Need to sort out the distinction between MAPK/SAPK/JNK activities. Currently (May 2012):
MAP kinase activity ; GO:0004707
--[isa]SAP kinase activity ; GO:0016909
----[isa]JUN kinase activity ; GO:0004705
