GTPase Signaling Pathways
- Annotating GTPases to reflect their role in a signaling pathway
- Annotate entity as GTP-bound form (via PRO ID, for example)?
- We have a term, GO:0030742, GTP-dependent protein binding; what is the intended use of this term?
- Definition: Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules) using energy from the hydrolysis of GTP.
Annotation Issues
- Neuron Migration in C. elegans
- GTPase activities
- Q cell migration model
- MIG-2 (C. elegans RhoG) has low affinity for GTP (similar to GTP binding-defective negative control) but GTPase activity similar to other Rho GTPases, so evidence for GTP binding is weak
- Paper uses an engineered GTP-bound mimic to assess binding to downstream effector, ANI-1
- What's the correct annotation for the binding?
- ANI-1: GTP-Rho binding? Rho GTPase binding?
- What's the correct MF annotation for MIG-2 for this signaling pathway?
- Wrt linking annotons, clarify what experimental evidence supports use of:
- causally_upstream_of : p is upstream of q if and only if p precedes q and p and q are linked in a causal chain
- To test this, we introduced GFP::ANI-1 into mig-2(mu28)-null mutants, and we showed that GFP::ANI-1 left the plasma membrane and became evenly distributed in the cytoplasm in mig-2(mu28) animals (Figures 6 A–6E for QR.ap;Movie S2).
- directly_activates : p directly activates q if and only if p is immediately upstream of q and p is the realization of a function to increase the rate or activity of q
- To test this, we introduced GFP::ANI-1 into mig-2(mu28)-null mutants, and we showed that GFP::ANI-1 left the plasma membrane and became evenly distributed in the cytoplasm in mig-2(mu28) animals (Figures 6 A–6E for QR.ap;Movie S2).
- We further showed that GFP::moesinABD was largely reduced at the leading edge (Figures 3B, 3D, and 3E): the fluorescence intensity ratio between the green F-actin and the red plasma membrane was decreased from 4.2- to 0.3-fold during Q cell migration and from 4.0- to 0.2-fold during neurite growth in ani-1 conditional knockouts (Figures 3F and S3). Thus, Anillin regulates neuronal migration and neurite growth by stabilizing the actin cytoskeleton in the leading edge.
