Overview and Scope of Use
- This relation is used in GO-CAMs but not in standard annotation extensions.
- This relation links two successive activities, i.e. where the product (output) of the upstream activity is the substrate (input) for the downstream activity, and the product is a macromolecule.
- When the output molecule of the upstream activity is available in ChEBI, curators should not use this relation, and should instead connect the successive activities via the output molecule: [upstream activity] has_output [ChEBI] is_input [downstream activity].
- When the output molecule is not available (usually a modified protein or RNA), use: [upstream activity] provides_input_for [downstream activity].
- The 'provides input for' relation is used to relate two GO Molecular Functions when:
- The upstream and downstream activities succeed one another directly
- The output of the first activity is an input of the second activity.
- The output of the first activity is not available in ChEBI.
Annotation Usage Guidelines
- What to capture
- Upstream activities that provide a macromolecular input for a downstream activity.
- What not to capture
- Causal connections between molecular activities in which all inputs and outputs are described in ChEBI; instead, connect the successive activities via the output molecule: [upstream activity] has_output [ChEBI] is_input [downstream activity]. For an example, see GO-CAM model with inputs and outputs.
Examples
AKT1 phosphorylates RAC1, creating phosphorylated RAC1 (which is not in ChEBI); phosphorylated RAC1 is then the input (target) for FBXL19, the substrate adaptor for ubiquitination and degradation of RAC1. PMID:23512198
Ontology Usage Guidelines
This relation is not used in the ontology.
