nucleobase transport #20190

Open ValWood opened 3 years ago

ValWood commented 3 years ago

I believe this term: GO:0015851 nucleobase transport

should be "nucleobase transmembrane transport" and have "transmembrane transport" as a parent.

Or add a term for "nucleobase transmembrane transport"?

Also need to do all children that don't have 'transmembrane' 'adenine import across plasma membrane' 'adenine transport' 'cytosine transport' 'guanine transport' 'hypoxanthine transport' 'pyrimidine nucleobase transport' 'thymine transport' 'uracil transmembrane transport' 'uracil transport' 'xanthine transport'

But "nucleobase transport" is a process term defined to include all mediated transport, not only across a membrane, and already has a part_of function child, GO:0015205 nucleobase transmembrane transporter activity.

Right - but we dont want to create possibilities that are not known to exist. For nucleotides I dont think there is transport by endocytosis. This is why I was to first look at annotations.
