PMID:12972596 An example of GO annotation from a primary paper GO Annotation Camp, July 2006 http://www.ebi.ac.uk/GOA
In this paper two proteins can be annotated to: Rsf-1 and hSNF2H …from the gene/protein names found in the paper, you then need to find the corresponding sequence identifier suitable for your database … UniProtKB accession: Q96T23 UniProtKB accession: O60264 Loyola et al. provide experimental evidence for biological process (BP), molecular function (MF) and cellular component (CC) annotations for both Rsf-1 and hSNF2H.
NB: Rsf-1 and hSNF2H were previously shown to form the RSF complex, and have therefore already been annotated to the GO term: RSF complex ; GO:0031213 (in PMID: 9836642)
To assign cellular component annotations…. Q96T23 (Rsf-1) nucleus ; GO:0005634 IDA O60264 (hSNF2H) nucleus ; GO:0005634 IDA Starting on Page 6762, 2nd paragraph in left column… NB: There are two sets of evidence that the subunits of RSF localize to the nucleus: 1/ the complex was purified from a nuclear fraction. 2/ antibody staining. Both of these pieces of information provide a direct assay for the subcellular localization of these proteins. For any given paper, if both the GO term and the evidence code are identical the annotation is only recorded once.
Figure 2B: Subcellular localization of Rsf-1 and hSNF2H, visualised with specific antibodies. Additionally, localization of hSNF2H is restricted to chromosomes during mitosis. Both Rsf-1 and hSNF2H localize to the nucleus. NB: Using GO, it is not possible to state that hSNF2H is nuclear during interphase and restricted to a chromosome during metaphase. But both subcellular localizations can be attributed to hSNF2H with GO terms. (the temporal information is captured in UniProt separately)
Pg 6762, half-way down left hand column… But the GO term ‘mitotic chromosome ; GO:0005708’ is obsolete. … however when a GO term is made obsolete, the ‘comments’ often suggest alternative GO terms that may be appropriate to use.
‘Open mitosis’ occurs in humans, so GO:0000793 can be used to annotate hSNF2H. hSNF2H: O60264 condensed chromosome ; GO:0000793 IDA
To assign Molecular Function ‘protein binding’ annotations…. Pg 6762, half way down left hand column… Can annotate with the GO molecular function ‘protein binding’ (GO:0005515) based on these assays…
Figure 2C: Immunoprecipitation experiments support ‘protein binding’ GO annotations.
Rsf-1‘with’ Q96T23protein binding ; GO:0005515 IPI O60264 ALSO… hSNF2H O60264protein binding ; GO:0005515 IPI Q96T23 NB: When using the IPI code, include also a sequence identifier for the interacting protein in the ‘with’ field. For protein binding GO terms, always provide the reciprocal annotation.
To assign a Molecular Function ‘ATPase activity’ annotation…. hSNF2H: O60264 ATPase activity ; GO:0016887 IDA Rsf-1: Q96T23NOT ATPase activity ; GO:0016887 IDA Pg 6762, 2nd paragraph in the right hand column …
Use of the ‘NOT’ qualifier The ‘NOT’ qualifier is used when a GO term might otherwise be expected to apply to a gene product, but an experiment etc. proves otherwise. Because the recombinant RSF complex shows ATPase activity, it is informative to record for this paper (using the ‘NOT’ qualifier) that the Rsf-1 subunit of RSF does not possess this activity. For further documentation on the ‘NOT’ qualifier, refer to the GO web site at: http://www.geneontology.org/GO.annotation.shtml
To assign a Molecular Function ‘ATPase activity’ annotation…. hSNF2H: O60264 ATPase activity ; GO:0016887 IDA Rsf-1: Q96T23NOT ATPase activity ; GO:0016887 IDA Pg 6762, 2nd paragraph in the right hand column …
hSNF2H: O60264 ATPase activity ; GO:0016887 IDA hSNF2H:‘with’ O60264ATP binding ; GO:0005524 IC GO:0016887
IC: Inferred by curator Such an annotation is created where there is no direct experimental evidence or author statement in the paper, but where an annotation can be reasonably inferred by a curator from other GO annotations (for which evidence is available). In this paper the authors show that hSNF2H has ATPase activity. It can therefore be reasonably inferred that hSNF2H can bind ATP. The IC evidence code is used to support the ‘ATP binding’ annotation to show that a curator has made this inference.

To assign a Biological Process GO annotation…. Page 6762, half way down right hand column… hSNF2H: O60264chromatin assembly ; GO:0031497 IDA Rsf-1: Q96T23chromatin assembly ; GO:0031497 IDA
To assign a Molecular Function ‘histone binding’ annotation…. Page 6762, 3rd paragraph of right hand column… Rsf-1: Q96T23histone binding ; GO:0042393 NAS hSNF2H: O60264contributes_to histone binding ; GO:0042393 NAS NB: When data is not shown in a paper but the results are still described, the NAS evidence code is generally used to support GO annotation (subject to judgement by the annotator). If time allows, we would also annotate Ref (13) to see if we can assign histone binding annotation to Rsf-1 with an experimental evidence code.
Use of the ‘contributes_to’ qualifier A gene product that is part of a complex can be annotated to the molecular function terms that describe the action of the whole complex (i.e. annotating 'to the potential of the complex‘) It is a way to capture information about what a complex does in the absence of database objects and identifiers representing complexes. Molecular function annotations to subunits that do not possess the activity of the complex themselves must include the qualifier ‘contributes_to’. All gene products annotated using 'contributes_to' must also be annotated to a cellular component term representing the complex that possesses the activity. hSNF2H already has the cellular component annotation RSF complex ; GO:0031213, from annotation to another paper and therefore a ‘contributes_to’ histone binding annotation can be made. For further documentation on the ‘contributes_to’ qualifier, refer to the GO web site at: http://www.geneontology.org/GO.annotation.shtml
To assign a Molecular Function ‘DNA binding’ annotation…. Page 6762, last paragraph of right hand column… Page 6764, bottom of the page, left hand column… hSNF2H: O60264 DNA binding ; GO:0003677 IDA
The DNA binding properties of Rsf-1 are slightly more complicated…… Page 6765, left hand column…
At the time of curation a term for ‘negative regulation of DNA binding’ did not exist. Therefore a SourceForge item was made to request that this new term be added to GO. Rsf-1 Q96T23negative regulation of DNA binding ; GO:0043392 IDA
