Perhaps the design pattern is something like: molecular sensor activity and ('has primary input' some molecule) and ('directly regulates' some molecular function)
- Use cases: Enzymes like PHD2 that hydroxylate HIF and are described as oxygen sensors. GMPPA that binds GDP-mannose to inhibit activity of GMPPB in GDP-mannose biosynthesis. ZAKalpha, a MAPKKK, that recognizes stalled ribosomes. Others?
Another case could be the calcium sensor calmodulin that activates enzymes, channels etc (see CALM1)
I am not sure I am following what would happen with the potential new term in terms of hierarchy and annotation. Would it look like this?
The action items I understood from Monday's call are
On the 2024-08-26 ontology call we discussed how we'd like to represent gene products that function as molecular sensors.
Here are some of the relevant points we touched on:
