How much evidence is needed to make MF annotations
i) PMID 11486045 - Fig 2 I would like to annotate to the obsolete term GO:0016564 transcription repressor activity. How should this be annotated to the MF ontology with the new terms?
ii) We have
GO 0001102 RNA polymerase II activating transcription factor binding
and
GO:0001103 RNA polymerase II repressing transcription factor binding
Should we also have
RNA polymerase II activating/repressing transcription factor ACTIVITY?
Annotation to promoter/DNA binding terms
i) PMID 12270142 Based on figs 1 and 2 have annotated to
GO:0045944 positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter
Based on fig 3 have annotated to
GO:2000679 positive regulation of transcription regulatory region DNA binding
Is this correct or are there other terms that should have been used instead?
ii) PMID 17332325 Is Fig 3 sufficient to support the following annotations?
GO:0000981 sequence-specific DNA binding RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity
GO:0070888 E-box binding
iii) PMID 19342457 [YAF] Based on Figs 1 and 3 I have annotated REST_HUMAN (Q13127) to:
GO:0000987 core promoter proximal region sequence-specific DNA binding
GO:0001078 RNA polymerase II core promoter proximal region sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity involved in negative regulation of transcription
GO:0000122 negative regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter
iv) PMID 17130167 [YAF] Based on Figs 2, 5 and 6, I have tentatively annotated to
GO:0001078 RNA polymerase II core promoter proximal region sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity involved in negative regulation of transcription
GO:0045892 negative regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent
