Misused terms
- 'part' terms: do we use them or not?
- electron transport (GO:0006118)
- electron carrier activity (GO:0009055)
- activation versus positive regulation
- development
- morphogenesis
- differentiation
- growth
- cell growth
- cell cycle
- cell proliferation
- peptide secretion
- protein secretion
- gene expression, GO:0010467
- regulation of gene expression, GO:0010468
- protein carrier activity (Val Wood): The old term "protein carrier activity" had a definition whcih made it a transmembrane transporter "Catalysis of the transfer of proteins from one side of a membrane to the other" which made it a transmembrane transporter so it was renamed "protein transmembrane transporter activity". Quite a few of us have used the old term to annotate karyopherins (which was incorrect as the nucler membrane (i.e lipid bilayer) is not penetrated during transport through the nuclear pore). These need moving to protein transporter activity; GOid=GO:0008565.
- pseudouridylate synthase activity (GO:0004730) (Val Wood):"Note that this term should not be confused with 'pseudouridine synthase activity ; GO:0009982', which refers to the intramolecular isomerization of uridine to pseudouridine." should be abbotated to pseudouridine synthase activity GO:0009982 or its child
tRNA-pseudouridine synthase activity (The SGD annotation that a number of groups ISS'd to was updated yesterday).
- secretory pathway (GO:00450055): ONly terms involved in the secretory machinery should be annotated. Currently, many secreted proteins are annotated (March 12-2008):
- ZFIN: cxcl12a (chemokine) - Rice: Alpha-galactosidase precursor - human NMUR1
