XPs defining biological processes in terms of cellular components; example:

[Term]
id: GO:0010020 ! chloroplast fission
intersection_of: GO:0048285  ! organelle fission
intersection_of: OBO_REL:results_in_division_of GO:0009507 ! chloroplast

[Term]
id: GO:0043572 ! plastid fission
intersection_of: GO:0048285  ! organelle fission
intersection_of: OBO_REL:results_in_division_of GO:0009536 ! plastid

i.e.

This allows a reasoner to compute the is_a relation between the two BP terms (based on the definition and the is_a relation between the CCs)

Availability

See the go/scratch/xps directory

This xp file has been registered in the OBO xps metadata so it is available here:

Methods

An initial parse was made using Obol. The results were then manually vetted by cjm, and new xp defs manually added

mitochondrial X

Terms of the form "mitochondrial X" are typically defined as

* An X that unfolds_in a mitochondrion

Here unfolds_in is a relation between a process and the location of the participants throughout the process

E.g.

[Term]
id: GO:0000963 ! mitochondrial RNA processing
intersection_of: GO:0006396 ! RNA processing
intersection_of: OBO_REL:unfolds_in GO:0005739 ! mitochondrion

See this sf item for clarification on RNA processing terms

Cellular X

Cellular X means X is executed at the level of the cell.

See sf item for clarification

For now we define cellular X using the has_level relation, but this is difficult to define

biogenesis, organization etc

Awaiting clarification. See: Cellular_component_processes

Existing xp defs may be changed once this is resolved

The current plan is to get replace "organization and biogenesis" with "organization". See above page for details.

export terms

Examples:

[Term]
id: GO:0000056 ! ribosomal small subunit export from nucleus
intersection_of: GO:0051168 ! nuclear export
intersection_of: OBO_REL:results_in_transport_of GO:0015935 ! small ribosomal subunit

[Term]
id: GO:0006608 ! snRNP protein import into nucleus
intersection_of: GO:0006606 ! protein import into nucleus
intersection_of: OBO_REL:results_in_transport_of GO:0030532 ! small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complex

[Term]
id: GO:0006626 ! protein targeting to mitochondrion
intersection_of: GO:0006605 ! protein targeting
intersection_of: OBO_REL:results_in_transport_to GO:0005739 ! mitochondrion

Curator Notes

2008-11-13

Committed some updates today:

  • updated alt_ids to ids:
    • 18994 -> 43186
    • 32842 -> 42575
  • updated GO term names
  • started adding comments on individual xps

Matters and questions arising

I'm checking to make sure it's OK to change results_in_organization_of to results_in_structural_organization_of; the latter is in ro_test.obo. It does seem to be OK in general in that the definition of the parent 'cellular component organization' is consistent with the relation def, but I'll also look at each xp that uses this relation.

Update (Nov. 20): I've looked at the typedef stanza for results_in_structural_organization_of, and I don't think it can be used for cellular component organization as currently defined. The problem is that the 'rule' tag implies that results_in_structural_organization_of is relevant in a developmental context, and several GO editors have just convinced each other that not all cellular component organization is necessarily developmental. See the mailing list thread starting here for more gory details.

Q: The xps also use has_level (see 'cellular x' above), which isn't in ro.obo or ro_test.obo, and I'm not as sure what to do about it.

Q: I've put in a bug report about how OBO-Edit 1 and 2 handle unrecognized relations (differently annoyingly) -- OBO-Edit 1.101 failed to load the file, reporting "unrecognized type results_in_organization_of", whereas OBO-Edit 2beta50 loads everything and automagically converts the results_in_organization_of relation to is_a in the cross-product panel. This worries me ... is it really the desired behavior?

update (18 Nov; relevant to 2 Qs above): emailed Chris to ask about relations without typedef stanzas in general, because it affects various things in OE (including the Graphviz viewer, as in this bug report)

Q: Is it correct to use unfolds_in for terms such as mitochondrial ornithine transport, when the transport def is "into, out of or within" the CC?

update (18 Nov): emailed Chris thusly:

The bp-xp-cc file has several entries for '[some organelle] transport' terms, e.g.

[Term]
id: GO:0000066 ! mitochondrial ornithine transport
intersection_of: GO:0015822 ! ornithine transport
intersection_of: OBO_REL:unfolds_in GO:0005739 ! mitochondrion

The def of GO:0000066, however, is "The directed movement of ornithine, 2,5-diaminopentanoic
acid, into, out of or within a mitochondrion."

It seems incorrect to use unfolds_in when the transport def is "into, out of or within" the CC
-- the unfolds_in def says "the execution of P is spatially contained by C", and that doesn't
seem to cover the "into" or "out of" bits. I guess the actual differentiae would be (unfolds_in
GO:0005739 OR results_in_transport_to GO:0005739 OR results_in_transport_from 
GO:0005739) ... but is that possible/allowable/desirable?

Less pressing matters:

RO and ro_test.obo aren't consistent w.r.t. derives_from, which makes OBO-Edit throw a warning. I've ignored it for now, since derives_from is in RO, but would like to know which to use when these xps go live.

Even smaller thing: the inverse_of tags on the obsolete relations has_improper_part and improper_part_of cause an OE warning. Ignored.

Might want to add a term for 'plasma membrane transport' (maybe 'transport across plasma membrane'as name or synonym) -- at present plasma membrane pyruvate transport GO:0006849, plasma membrane acetate transport GO:0006847, etc. don't have a common parent.

Uncovered a general problem with transport terms -- the xp-generating rules seem to make two kinds of mistakes with transport process terms that mention some organelle.

  • One is the problem noted above, where [organelle] [substrate X] transport is taken to mean transport of X that occurs within the organelle
  • Another is [organelle X] transport, taken to mean transport OF the organelle instead of transport into, out of, or within the organelle.

Maybe this is something that can be addressed by structured synonyms?

MAH to do:

  • check definition and come up with a better name for GO:0016182 (endosome to synaptic vesicle budding)- DONE
  • check GO:0006998 - name is nuclear membrane organization, but the term dates back to before we properly distinguished the nuclear envelope from nuclear membrane(s) - DONE
  • similar to above, for mitochondrial membrane org, GO:0007006 - DONE
  • check defs, and make names consistent between BP and CC for focal adhesion/hemi-adherens junction (GO:0005925 & GO:0007045) - as of Nov. 20, cell junction BP & CC terms need an overhaul (last done in 2001!) SF item opened.

Transport terms referring to membranes have a problem related to the organellar transport problem: [membrane] [substrate X] transport means transport of X across the membrane. I'm not sure unfolds_in really captures that accurately. In the xp file I've noted that maybe results_in_transport_through might be better, but is undefined.

MAH to do:

  • Ask Jen & Tanya to look at existing BP & CC graphs for this one:
[Term]
id: GO:0010215 ! cellulose microfibril organization
intersection_of: GO:0016043 ! cellular component organization
intersection_of: results_in_organization_of GO:0009549 ! cellulose microfibril
  • bring up cell projection biogenesis terms next time we meet for CC org
  • For GO:0016183, check where synaptic vesicles coat, and whether that's considered part of the synapse
    • also minor def text edit
  • try to define GO:0016240 autophagic vacuole docking

Finished first pass through xp file! Next thing to do is collect the 'ok' ones in a file and mark it as ready to go. Then sort out remaining ones with more complicated comments ...

I've noticed two xps (below) where the term has no path to anatomical structure formation in the current graph, but the xp suggests anat. str. formation as a genus. Do we want to add parentage, or just leave it to the xp statements?

[Term]
id: GO:0001325 ! formation of extrachromosomal circular DNA
intersection_of: GO:0048646 ! anatomical structure formation
intersection_of: OBO_REL:results_in_formation_of GO:0005727 ! extrachromosomal circular DNA

[Term]
id: GO:0001771 ! formation of immunological synapse
intersection_of: GO:0048646 ! anatomical structure formation
intersection_of: OBO_REL:results_in_formation_of GO:0001772 ! immunological synapse

MAH to do:

  • make BP & CC names and synonyms consistent for cytochrome b(c)1/resp chain complex III - DONE
  • double-check ribosome biogenesis vs. macromolecular complex organization - checked, but there's still some work to do for CC organization etc. that's relevant to these xps
  • check whether GO:0043165 should become cell outer membrane assembly, with CC assembly parentage - DONE
    • same for GO:0009833 primary cell wall and GO:0009834 secondary cell wall - decided to leave these (and parent) as 'biogenesis' because the defs mention 'reactions and pathways'
  • sort out heterochromatin formation/chromatin silencing -- some child term not consistent with parent changes
  • biogenesis vs organization for GO:0032581 - DONE
