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: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?
