Agenda

LEGO Curation

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.
  • What experimental evidence supports use of:
    • causally_upstream_of
    • directly_activates
    • has_direct_input
    • positively_regulates

Annotation Issues

  • 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?
