Problems

in progress

Function terms with Process definitions

The problem with most of these terms is the same as that for transcription regulator activity (GO:0030528). As we said in the [http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Proposals_to_overhaul_transcription_in_GO_-_2010#transcription_regulator_activity_-_GO:0030528 original proposal], the term "transcription regulator activity" is the highest level Function term for transcription and it is essentially identical to a Process term. It conveys exactly the same information as the Process term regulation of transcription and it does NOT convey any information about the molecular nature of the regulator activity. In addition, it is grouping the child terms below it based on involvement in a common Process, not based on having a common Function and it currently includes functions based on binding DNA and functions based on interacting with other proteins.

MF: transcription regulator activity - GO:0030528 Current definition: Plays a role in regulating transcription; may bind a promoter or enhancer DNA sequence or interact with a DNA-binding transcription factor.

BP: regulation of transcription - GO:0045449 Current definition: Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the synthesis of either RNA on a template of DNA or DNA on a template of RNA.

This problem applies to most of the MF terms that still remain under transcription regulator activity (GO:0030528). All of these terms have definitions that specify only process information; thus we feel that they need to be merged into process terms.

  • GO:0030528 transcription regulator activity
  • GO:0003701 RNA polymerase I transcription factor activity
  • GO:0003702 RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity
  • GO:0003709 RNA polymerase III transcription factor activity
  • GO:0016563 transcription activator activity
  • GO:0042156 zinc-mediated transcriptional activator activity
  • GO:0016564 transcription repressor activity
  • GO:0003711 transcription elongation regulator activity
  • GO:0008148 negative transcription elongation factor activity
  • GO:0008159 positive transcription elongation factor activity
  • GO:0016943 RNA polymerase I transcription elongation factor activity
  • GO:0016944 RNA polymerase II transcription elongation factor activity
  • GO:0016945 RNA polymerase III transcription elongation factor activity

  • GO:0003718 RNA polymerase III transcription termination factor activity
  • GO:0016986 transcription initiation factor activity
  • GO:0030401 transcription antiterminator activity

what about this one?

Issues for these terms:

  • GO:0003706 MF ligand-regulated transcription factor activity


rework, or merge into another MF term?

def includes binding


  • GO:0016988 MF transcription initiation factor antagonist activity


Regulation terms for "transcription regulator activity"


  • GO:0090046 regulation of transcription regulator activity
  • GO:0090047 positive regulation of transcription regulator activity
  • GO:0090048 negative regulation of transcription regulator activity



Reannotation suggestions

OBSOLETE or MERGE? Function terms that are equivalent to Process terms


  • For top level MF term: GO:0030528 transcription regulator activity
    - Existing definition already specifies DNA, so we can focus on "transcription, DNA-dependent" terms without being concerned about the RNA-dependent type of transcription.
    - For the equivalent process term, we considered both transcription, DNA-dependent (GO:0006351) and regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent (GO:0006355) and we looked at some existing annotations to transcription regulator activity to consider which of these two terms would be most appropriate to transfer them to. While the majority of annotations (from both MGI and SGD) are "regulatory" transcription factors, the SGD set of annotations, which was small enough to look at in its entirety, includes annotations for basal transcription factors and RNA polymerase subunits, via both manual and computational methods. Thus, we felt that the term has been used so broadly that it would be better to select the more general term.
    • equivalent BP term = transcription, DNA-dependent (GO:0006351)
    • for MF reannotation, consider:
      • nucleic acid binding transcription factor activity (GO:0001071) and child terms
      • protein binding transcription factor activity (GO:0000988) and child terms
  • For other high level terms, not specific to a particular RNAP
    - These definitions do not mention DNA specifically, but the terms are direct children of "transcription regulator activity".
    - Based on a quick glance at some of the annotations and the logic we used for the merge of the transcription BP terms into the transcription, DNA-dependent BP terms, we think this is reasonable, i.e. that there will be very little which should actually be annotated to a transcription, RNA-dependent term instead.
    • GO:0016563 transcription activator activity
      • equivalent BP term = positive regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent (GO:0045893)
      • for MF reannotation, consider:
        • nucleic acid binding transcription factor activity (GO:0001071) and child terms
        • protein binding transcription factor activity (GO:0000988) and child terms
    • GO:0016564 transcription repressor activity
      • equivalent BP term = negative regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent (GO:0045892)
    • GO:0003711 transcription elongation regulator activity
      • equivalent BP term = regulation of transcription elongation, DNA-dependent (GO:0032784)
    • GO:0008148 negative transcription elongation factor activity
      • equivalent BP term = negative regulation of transcription elongation, DNA-dependent (GO:0032785)
    • GO:0008159 positive transcription elongation factor activity
      • equivalent BP term = positive regulation of transcription elongation, DNA-dependent (GO:0032786)


  • Three terms for transcription factors for specific (eukaryotic nuclear) RNAPs
    - These terms mention specific RNA polymerases, so there is no confusion with respect to DNA-dependent vs RNA-dependent.
    - The definitions of these terms say "Functions to initiate or regulate RNA polymerase ____ transcription." Thus these definitions encompass both the basal or essential factors required for PIC assembly as well as any factors which might regulate transcription by one of these RNAPs. Thus we think that the general terms are a better option than the regulation terms.
    • GO:0003701 RNA polymerase I transcription factor activity
      • equivalent BP term = transcription from RNA polymerase I promoter (GO:0006360)
    • GO:0003702 RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity
      • equivalent BP term =: GO:0006366 transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter
    • GO:0003709 RNA polymerase III transcription factor activity
      • equivalent BP term =: GO:0006383 transcription from RNA polymerase III promoter
  • Six terms relating to transcription elongation
    - The first three of these


  • GO:0016943 MF RNA polymerase I transcription elongation factor activity
  • GO:0016944 MF RNA polymerase II transcription elongation factor activity
  • GO:0016945 MF RNA polymerase III transcription elongation factor activity
  • GO:0003715 MF transcription termination factor activity
  • GO:0003716 MF RNA polymerase I transcription termination factor activity
  • GO:0003717 MF RNA polymerase II transcription termination factor activity
  • GO:0003718 MF RNA polymerase III transcription termination factor activity
  • GO:0016986 MF transcription initiation factor activity
  • GO:0030401 MF transcription antiterminator activity


    • GO:0042156 zinc-mediated transcriptional activator activity
      Def: Initiates or upregulates transcription in the presence of zinc.
      Brief look at PMID:10952993 indicates that they show MTF-1 binds DNA in the presence of zinc (EMSA), not sure if this shows direct binding to zinc, or if we care
      only existing term for any kind of regulation of transcription in relation to zinc is not appropriate
      • regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter in response to zinc ion starvation (GO:0034225)
      convert to BP term?
      • positive regulation of DNA-dependent transcription in response to zinc


??


  • GO:0003706 MF ligand-regulated transcription factor activity

def includes binding


  • GO:0016988 MF transcription initiation factor antagonist activity


related regulation terms


  • GO:0090046 regulation of transcription regulator activity
  • GO:0090047 positive regulation of transcription regulator activity
  • GO:0090048 negative regulation of transcription regulator activity
