[Ontology-editors] use of regulates

[Jane Lomax]

Also, can I make regulates relationships directly between the MOP terms 
and non-MOP process terms? For example:

modulation by host of symbiont cAMP-mediated signaling -regulates-> 
cAMP-mediated signaling

Or do I need to make a 'regualtion of cAMP-mediated signaling' term?

Does it matter that 'regualtion of cAMP-mediated signaling' would be a 
'regulation of cellular process'? (I know we haven't tried to apply 
disjointness to any of the regulation terms, but just seems wrong somehow!)
