Full-length Lon (Lon-NAP) and its proteolytic domain (Lon-P) were each tagged with a GST moeity, expressed from a plasmid and purified using GST tag, which was subsequently removed by thrombin cleavage. LonNAP and Lon-P were then assayed for proteolytic activity using a radiolabeled protein, [14C]acetyl-alpha-casein, or peptidase activity using melittin, a 26aa peptide, as the substrate in the presence or absence of ATP. The products were separated by HPLC and LonNAP was shown to require ATP for proteolysis and peptidase activity, while LonP retained only peptidase activity, even without the addition of ATP.

The relative rate of synthesis of Lon, measured over a time course of 10 minutes, rapidly increased upon shifting a culture from 28oC to 42oC. Additionally, B strains of E. coli are generally lon- and when shifted to 45oC from 28oC, do not show an increase in the spot corresponding to Lon. In contrast, a K-12 strain has a much more obvious increase in spot size corresponding to Lon.

Karen was concerned about the level of granularity for some process terms she was able to assign to this gene. For example, ATP dependent proteolysis is at a high level in the tree as a direct child of proteolysis (it is not even a child of cellular proteolysis). This term isn't really necessary as a process term as ATP-dependence is captured by the function, ‘ATP-dependent peptidase’ and if ATP-dept proteolysis did not add anything then it should be merged with proteolysis and perhaps terms such as ‘cellular catabolic process’ should be used in annotations instead.

AI: Karen to create SourceForge item regarding the validity of the ‘ATP dependent proteolysis’ term


Val: Additional granularity should be provided by being able to represent mitochondrial-specific events.

Harold: The current take on things appears to be that new terms based on a specific subcellular location are only made if there is a fundamental difference in the reaction mechanism at that site. Annotating concurrently with a generic process term together with the cellular component term mitochondrion captures the full annotation.

Val argued that if it is a different set of protein involved in the process then it is distinct enough to merit a separate term. Val also argued for having the location within a more granular term because it makes it easier for users to get meaningful results with term enrichment analysis tools which don't work with a combination of terms - without a single granular term you couldn't use over-representation to pull out genes involved the mitochondrial process.

Harold pointed out that several mitochondrial specific terms had previously existed but were removed because the reaction mechanism wasn't distinct. However there does seem to be some inconsistency with the was this is handle at the moment. [Example given was amino acylate tRNA synthetase genes with and without leader - working in both mitochondria and cytoplasm terms with terms for each even though the reaction is the same wherever it occurs?? - can't find these terms is correct?]. [RL-maybe this is what is meant:GO:0070127 tRNA aminoacylation for mitochondrial protein translation]

AI: Karen to GO email list with a view to clarifying this policy. Should we make organelle specific terms for processes [and functions?] that aren't mechanistically different but use different gene sets? GOC agenda item [?]

MGI raised the issue that there was an apparent conflict between mouse and human in terms of the specificity of binding to mitochondrial promoters. Some negative results had not been captured from mouse data that apparently conflicted with the human annotations. At least some of this was explained by the fact that the human annotations are qualified with NOT but this is not shown on the summary table used to compare species. Conclusion was that MGI would add the negative annotations to the mouse protein and assume any remaining conflicts are a true reflection of the data.

There are annotations for both 'ATP-dependent peptidase activity' and 'ATP-dependent proteolysis' - is there a difference between these? Pointless if there is no distinction e.g. peptide v protein. Do we need both terms?

RL- both terms are needed-one is process one is function but the key thing is to standardise the use of peptidolysis v proteolysis and peptidase v protease. Following pressure from protein community HGNC had to change all gene names from protease to peptidase.

AI: [Karen?] Does this term need to be there and is it in the right place? -> source forge

Both ATP-dependent terms imply ATP binding but this annotation is not always made. Karen doesn't do it unless it is shown directly. Some discussion about whether there should be an explicit relationship between such terms. Apparently were was at some point but this caused TPV problems. Concurrent annotations now used instead. RL-notes The explicit relationship between ATP binding and ATP-dependent terms was not made because in some protein complexes one protein binds the ATP and another protein has the ATP-dependent activity.

Debbie: Claims documentation says not to annotate to binding of a substrate (such as ATP).

AI: Debbie: to circulate where in the documentation it says not to annotate to binding

Harold and Karen are in favour of only annotating with exp evidence when there is a binding curve, or other such direct binding evidence, instead of just assuming it binds to ATP as it is included in the in vitro reaction mixture. Emily - what a protein binds to in an in vitro situation may not always be an accurate representation of what it binds in vivo (e.g. inclusion of certain metal ions)

There was concern about the aging annotation based on IEP in rat. Is it really involved in the process? Cause and effect hard to prove. Ruth argues it should be IC from the fact it degrades oxidised proteins. Is aging a valid process at all? Include senescence which is. General consensus is that this annotation is not valid. IEP-evidence should be used for expression of a gene being annotated and not the expression of targets.

Modification-dependent protein catabolic process (GO:0019941) was assigned to human LONP1 even though it isn't strictly modification-dependent (LONP1 also works on unmodified protein to some extent). The definition states catabolism is 'initiated by the covalent modification of the target protein' so it was suggested that the term be renamed modification-initiated protein catabolic process to reflect the definition more accurately. Seems like there may be a baseline of unmodified protein catabolism so it isn't really dependent. It was pointed out the baseline may be due to recognition of mis-folded proteins. There was concern about changing this based on one paper - there is a whole slew of related terms. Also the current term name is more consistent with what is talked about in the literature.

AI: Ruth: add 'modification-initiated protein catabolic process' as a synonym instead and also add a synonym that includes the word proteolysis.

Annotation inconsistency query with regards to an EcoliWiki annotation – why annotate to GO:0017111 nucleoside-triphosphatase activity from PMID:6458036 but not the child terms ATPase activity or CTPase activity? This was simply an error.

AI: Debbie to add specific terms.
