Overview

The 'directly positively regulates' relation is used to relate two GO Molecular Functions whenever two Molecular Functions succeed one another directly, and the first regulates the activity of the second via a direct physical interactions. The 'directly positively regulates' relation is used to describe a relation, for example, between a ligand and the receptor that it activates.

Definition

Process(P1) directly postively regulates process(P2) iff: P1 positively regulates P2 via direct physical interaction between an agent executing P1 (or some part of P1) and an agent executing P2 (or some part of P2). For example, if protein A has protein binding activity(P1) that targets protein B and this binding positively regulates the kinase activity (P2) of protein B then P1 directly positively regulates P2.
