I see your point, but GO annotations as I understand is for the generic 
gene product and not necessarily the mutant form. The annotation 
suggests that one is likely to find a given gene product (based on 
evidence) in a given location (fraction) for a given SPECIES (it 
may/may_not be the same location for a gene product from another species).

Therefore, you would have two annotation for an enzyme for example

Protein-X  GO_MF(enzyme activity)   IDA
Protein-X  GO_CC(a-fraction)  IMP

IMP annotation is fine, but where do we annotate that GO_CC was 
confirmed by IEP (western).
