Review of GO-CAM Model 645d887900001551

Model Overview

  • Model ID: gomodel:645d887900001551
  • Title: "Coenzyme A catabolic process 2 (Mouse)"
  • Taxon: Mouse (NCBITaxon:10090)
  • Status: Production

Model Structure Assessment

This model represents the coenzyme A (CoA) catabolic pathway in mouse, showing how CoA is metabolized through a series of enzymatic reactions. The model includes 4 molecular activities involving different gene products:

  1. Pantetheine hydrolase activity (GO:0017159) - enabled by Vnn1 (vanin 1)
  2. Phosphatase activity (GO:0016791) - enabled by Pank4 (pantothenate kinase 4)
  3. Phosphatase activity (GO:0016791) - enabled by Alpi (alkaline phosphatase, intestinal)
  4. Pyrophosphatase activity (GO:0016462) - enabled by Enpp1 (ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1)

Pathway Flow

The model represents a sequential catabolic pathway where each activity provides input for the next: 1. Alpi → Enpp1 → Pank4 → Vnn1

The causal connections in the model are correctly specified with RO:0002413 ("provides input for"), which indicates the appropriate relationships between the activities in the pathway.

Scientific Accuracy Assessment

The model accurately depicts the coenzyme A catabolic pathway based on the literature evidence provided. I examined the referenced papers and found that:

  1. Vnn1 (vanin 1) acts as a pantetheine hydrolase that cleaves pantetheine to pantothenate and cysteamine (PMID:11042271). This matches the model's representation with pantetheine (CHEBI:16753) as input and pantothenate (CHEBI:29032) and cysteaminium (CHEBI:58029) as outputs.

  2. Pank4 is shown as having phosphatase activity acting on phosphopantetheine (CHEBI:61723) to produce pantetheine (CHEBI:16753). This is supported by PMID:35896750, which describes PANK4 as a phosphatase that can dephosphorylate 4'-phosphopantetheine.

  3. Alpi (alkaline phosphatase, intestinal) is represented as having phosphatase activity that converts 3'-dephospho-CoA (CHEBI:57328) to phosphopantetheine (CHEBI:57287). This is supported by PMID:6619987 and PMID:16742561, which document the ability of alkaline phosphatases to hydrolyze phosphomonoesters and pyrophosphates.

  4. Enpp1 has pyrophosphatase activity that converts coenzyme A (CHEBI:57287) to 3'-dephospho-CoA (CHEBI:57328). This is supported by PMID:7678057, which describes the nucleotide pyrophosphatase activity of Enpp1.

GO-CAM Best Practices Assessment

I checked the GO-CAM model against best practice guidelines for complex annotation:

According to the How to annotate complexes in GO-CAM guidelines, when the subunit that carries the molecular activity is known, the complex is not described and the activity is represented by the specific protein carrying the activity. This model follows this practice correctly by annotating each individual protein with its specific enzymatic activity.

The model also follows the practice of connecting activities using causal relations (RO:0002413 "provides input for"), indicating the correct flow of substrates and products in the pathway.

Evidence and Provenance

Each activity annotation is supported with appropriate evidence codes and references:

  1. Vnn1 - ECO:0000314 (direct assay evidence) with PMID:11042271
  2. Pank4 - ECO:0000266 (sequence orthology evidence) with PMID:35896750 and UniProtKB:Q9NVE7
  3. Alpi - ECO:0000266 (sequence orthology evidence) with PMID:16742561 and UniProtKB:P10696
  4. Enpp1 - ECO:0000314 (direct assay evidence) with PMID:7678057

All annotations include proper provenance information with contributor ORCID and dates, which is in line with GO-CAM best practices.

Suggestions for Improvement

While the model is scientifically accurate and follows GO-CAM best practices, I have a few suggestions for enhancement:

  1. Subcellular localization: The model could be enhanced by including cellular component annotations for each activity. For example, Vnn1 is known to be a GPI-anchored ectoenzyme, and Enpp1 is a membrane protein. Adding this information would provide a more complete spatial context for the pathway.

  2. Regulatory relationships: If known, regulatory relationships between activities (positive or negative regulation) could be added to make the model more comprehensive.

  3. Additional chemical participants: While the main substrates and products are included, some intermediates or cofactors could be added for completeness.

  4. Connection to related processes: Linking this catabolic pathway to related metabolic processes such as pantothenate metabolism or coenzyme A biosynthesis would provide a broader context.

Conclusion

The GO-CAM model 645d887900001551 "Coenzyme A catabolic process 2 (Mouse)" is a well-constructed model that accurately represents the coenzyme A catabolic pathway in mouse. It adheres to GO-CAM best practices for pathway representation and provides appropriate evidence for each annotation.

The model's strengths include: - Accurate representation of the enzymatic reactions in the CoA catabolic pathway - Proper use of causal relations to show the flow of the pathway - Strong literature evidence supporting each activity annotation - Correct annotation of molecular inputs and outputs for each activity

The model successfully captures the current scientific understanding of the coenzyme A catabolic pathway in mouse and serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying this metabolic process.
