placement of neuron postsynaptic density

[gocentral]

Hi

I have just noticed that GO:0097481 neuronal postsynaptic density is a 'part_of' child of GO:0044327 dendritic spine head however I think that axon's also have GO:0097481 neuronal postsynaptic density.

So I think the parent GO:0044327 dendritic spine head should be removed.

Looking at GO:0044463 cell projection part I wonder if there should be a child term neuron cell projection part with the parent GO:0043005 neuron projection (but this isn't essential).

GO:0043005 neuron projection GO:0044463 cell projection part

is_a NEW GO term neuron cell projection part

part_of GO:0097481 neuronal postsynaptic density

Thanks

Ruth

Hi Ruth,

I've replaced the link: GO:0097481 neuronal postsynaptic density part_of GO:0044327 dendritic spine head with GO:0044327 dendritic spine head has_part GO:0097481 neuronal post-synaptic density

As for adding a term for 'neuron cell projection part', I think that would inflate the ontology a bit more than needed. All relevant terms under 'cell projection part' (e.g. GO:0097481 neuronal postsynaptic density) already point to the CL term for neuron. So I'd leave things as they are.

Thanks, Paola
