Fate of "transcription regulator activity" and its remaining child terms
Proposal
OBSOLETE (or MERGE)? Function terms that are equivalent to Process terms
For this set of MF terms that are equivalent to BP terms, we are proposing to obsolete them. In previous cases, e.g. "splicing factor activity", we have merged the MF term into the equivalent BP term. Here, we are instead suggesting obsoletion with a number of options for replacement terms. We are recommending the obsoletion option for two reasons:
- to highlight the fact that removal of this term from MF may result in a gene having no MF annotations
- we think it might be better for the non-definition dbxrefs to be reviewed and assigned to an appropriate MF term, rather than being transferred (without review) to a BP term.
For reannotation, we will be listing a number of possible terms to consider. One of the suggested replacement term is the equivalent BP term.
- For groups that wish to transfer all annotations without review, the equivalent BP term is the only appropriate destination.
- Groups wishing to reannotate to a MF term will need to go back to the original literature or other data because the existing "MF" terms are not defined in terms of how they act.
- - To assist that process, we have suggested which MF terms, and their children, might be appropriate, where such terms exist.
- - In some cases, we have not yet made appropriate MF terms and we ask that annotators submit SF items to request terms if they come across papers that provide insight into the mechanism of action of a given factor, e.g. a "transcription elongation factor". However, please note that a paper showing that factor X has an effect on elongation without providing insight as to HOW that is accomplished mechanistically, may only provide information appropriate for a BP annotation.

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 are essentially identical to BP terms. We are recommending obsoleting these terms with the suggested replacement terms including an equivalent BP term to which all annotations could be transferred without review and, where possible, any appropriate MF terms which should be considered in reannotation from the original literature or data.

Reannotation suggestions
Function terms that are equivalent to Process terms
- For top level MF term: GO:0030528 transcription regulator activity
- equivalent BP term = transcription, DNA-dependent (GO:0006351)
- 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.
- 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
- Annotators for eukaryotic organisms, should specifically look to see if they can make the annotation specific to a particular RNA polymerase. If the paper does not specifically mention an RNA polymerase and talks only about regulation of specific genes, you should consider if you can make the annotation specific to RNAP II, particularly if the genes are nuclear (not organellar) protein-coding genes. There are so few exceptions to the generalization that RNAP II transcribes mRNAs for nuclear-encoded protein coding genes, that unless you are annotating Trypanosome genes, it is extremely likely that anyone discussing transcription of a protein coding genes is talking about RNAP II, but if they are more interested in the regulator than the RNAP (many researchers are), they may not mention that it is RNAP II.
- equivalent BP term = transcription, DNA-dependent (GO:0006351)
- For other high level terms, not specific to a particular RNAP
- Comments on selection of equivalent BP term
- - 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
- Annotators for eukaryotic organisms, should specifically look to see if they can make the annotation specific to a particular RNA polymerase.

- GO:0016564 transcription repressor activity
- equivalent BP term = negative regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent (GO:0045892)

- nucleic acid binding transcription factor activity (GO:0001071) and child terms

- GO:0003711 transcription elongation regulator activity
- equivalent BP term = regulation of transcription elongation, DNA-dependent (GO:0032784)
- for MF reannotation, consider: whether the paper you are looking at describes HOW the elongation factor acts. If the paper describes the mechanism of action by which it affects elongation, please consider submitting a SF item. However, if the paper only indicates that there is an effect on elongation, please consider just making a BP annotation.

- 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

- 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
