[Go] Alert: proposal to obsolete two molecular function terms that impacts existing annotations

[Midori Harris]

Dear GO,

The proposal has been made to obsolete

   apolipoprotein E receptor activity ; GO:0030227
   apolipoprotein E receptor binding ; GO:0050749

Annotations to these terms exist as listed below:

   gene_association.goa_cow.gz
   GO ID	IEA	non-IEA	total
   GO:0050749	1	0	1

   gene_association.goa_human.gz
   GO ID	IEA	non-IEA	total
   GO:0030227	0	1	1

   gene_association.goa_uniprot.gz
   GO ID	IEA	non-IEA	total
   GO:0050749	5	0	5

   gene_association.rgd.gz
   GO ID	IEA	non-IEA	total
   GO:0030227	0	1	1
   GO:0050749	1	0	1

The reason for obsoleting these terms is that no known receptor binds 
apolipoprotein E; instead, receptors bind holo-lipoprotein E 
(apolipoprotein E + bound lipid).

Annotations should be transferred to VLDL receptor terms:

   very-low-density lipoprotein receptor activity ; GO:0030229
   very-low-density lipoprotein receptor binding ; GO:0070326

These terms are not in any GO slim or subset maintained in the GO .obo
files, and are not used in any external mappings.

Comment period ends on March 31, 2009.

*** Unless objections are received by March 31,
      we will assume that you agree to this change. ***

Thanks,
Midori
