Gene Ontology annotation through association of InterPro records with GO terms
-
The route by which AGGF1 acquired GO:0003676 nucleic acid binding, from InterPro:IPR000467 G-patch domain. Across the eleven reviewed human G-patch proteins QuickGO returns in full, this mapping is the sole source of the term in every case and is never corroborated experimentally in any of them.

Identification of an angiogenic factor that when mutated causes susceptibility to Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome.
-
Purified recombinant AGGF1 promotes angiogenesis in the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay as potently as VEGF, and two siRNAs plus an antisense oligonucleotide inhibit endothelial tube formation.
"VG5Q protein acts as a potent angiogenic factor in
promoting angiogenesis, and suppression of VG5Q expression inhibits vessel
formation."
-
AGGF1 is secreted by endothelial cells when tube formation begins, detected by competitive ELISA on conditioned medium and by metabolic labelling.
"VG5Q shows strong expression in blood vessels and is
secreted as vessel formation is initiated."
-
AGGF1 interacts with TNFSF12/TWEAK, shown by yeast two-hybrid, GST pull-down with recombinant proteins, and co-immunoprecipitation from cells.
"We also demonstrate a direct interaction of VG5Q with another secreted
angiogenic factor, TWEAK (also known as TNFSF12)."
-
The E133K association with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, which this paper reports, has since been refuted (see PMID:16443853, PMID:18564129). The biochemical results on the wild-type protein are unaffected.
"The second is mutation E133K identified in five KTS patients, but
not in 200 matched controls."

The HuRI reference interactome, and the source of four AGGF1 interaction rows at once - DHX15, MCRS1, FBXO28 and MAB21L3. Three of the four partners - DHX15, MCRS1 and FBXO28 - carry GO:0005634 nucleus with experimental evidence; MAB21L3 has no cellular-component annotation at all. Each pair is logged in IntAct as three sub-methods of one screen, so the four rows rest on one experiment per partner, not three.
Dual proteome-scale networks reveal cell-specific remodeling of the human interactome.
Systematic identification of post-transcriptional regulatory modules.

Is the E133K allele of VG5Q associated with Klippel-Trenaunay and other overgrowth syndromes?
-
Refutes the E133K-Klippel-Trenaunay association: 9 of 275 healthy white controls (3.3 percent) carry the variant, a frequency indistinguishable from that reported in cases.
"Nine (3.3%) of the controls carried the E133K sequence change, indicating that this variant has reached polymorphic frequency in population controls"
-
The single overgrowth patient found to carry E133K inherited it from a clinically normal parent.
"One parent, who was clinically normal, also harboured the E133K mutation (fig 1C)."
The G397A (E133K) change in the AGGF1 (VG5Q) gene is a single nucleotide polymorphism in the Spanish population.

Functional characterization of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome gene AGGF1 identifies a novel angiogenic signaling pathway for specification of vein differentiation and angiogenesis during embryogenesis.
-
Zebrafish aggf1 knockdown causes defective vasculogenesis and angiogenesis and loss of venous identity markers; constitutively active AKT rescues it. This is the source of the zebrafish orthologue's own GO:0001525 IMP, which is what the human IBA row propagates from.
"Overexpression of AGGF1 led to increased angiogenesis and
increased lumen diameter of veins, whereas knockdown of AGGF1 expression
resulted in defective vasculogenesis and angiogenesis."
Aggf1 acts at the top of the genetic regulatory hierarchy in specification of hemangioblasts in zebrafish.
Angiogenic Factor AGGF1 Activates Autophagy with an Essential Role in Therapeutic Angiogenesis for Heart Disease.
-
Purified AGGF1 induces autophagy in HUVECs dose-dependently, shown by LC3-II and p62 western blot, GFP-LC3 puncta and electron microscopy.
"(A) Western blot analysis showing that AGGF1 at different concentrations induces autophagy (increased LC3-II/β-actin and LC3-II/I; decreased p62 expression) in HUVECs under a normoxic condition for 4 h (n = 3/group)."
-
Autophagy is required for every angiogenic behaviour AGGF1 drives: both pharmacological inhibition and ATG5 knockdown abolish AGGF1-induced proliferation, migration, tube formation and aortic-ring sprouting.
"These data suggest that autophagy is required for AGGF1-mediated angiogenesis."
-
AGGF1 treatment significantly induces HUVEC migration in scratch and Transwell assays.
"Wound-healing scratch assays for migration showed that AGGF1 treatment significantly induced HUVEC migration, but this effect was blocked by Baf or CQ (Fig 2B)."
Haploinsufficiency of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome gene Aggf1 inhibits developmental and pathological angiogenesis by inactivating PI3K and AKT and disrupts vascular integrity by activating VE-cadherin.
Structural basis for DEAH-helicase activation by G-patch proteins.

The crystal structure of human DHX15 bound to the NKRF G-patch shows the motif running in an extended conformation across the helicase surface and tethering the catalytic core to the flexibly attached C-terminal domains.
"conformation across the helicase surface. It tethers the catalytic core to the"
-
G-patch binding increases DHX15's RNA affinity, helicase activity and ATPase activity - i.e. the domain is a helicase-activation module, not an autonomous nucleic-acid-binding module.
"ATPase activity of DHX15 are increased when G-patch is bound."
Angiogenic factor AGGF1 acts as a tumor suppressor by modulating p53 post-transcriptional modifications and stability via MDM2.
-
Immunostaining in human HCT116 cells places AGGF1 in the nucleus co-localised with p53. This is the best-documented nuclear localisation of the human protein and GO records none of it.
"HA-tagged p53 expression plasmids, and immunostaining showed that AGGF
co-localized with p53 in the nucleus"
-
Serial deletion mapping localises p53 binding to residues 434-509, the FHA domain, and co-immunoprecipitation confirms the isolated FHA domain binds p53. No phosphatase control, phospho-site mutant or peptide competition was used, so this is not evidence that the FHA reads a phosphosite.
"amino acids 434 and 509 is the FHA domain of AGGF1. Co-IP showed that the AGGF1"
-
Of six COSMIC somatic FHA-domain variants tested, G437E, Q467H, Y469N and N483T impair AGGF1's tumour-suppressor activity while R447Q and V497I do not. G437 is the conserved glycine of the canonical phosphothreonine-anchoring G-R pair; R447 is not the conserved arginine (R438 is) and V497 lies outside the annotated FHA core.

FHA domain of AGGF1 is essential for its nucleocytoplasmic transport and angiogenesis.
-
AGGF1 moves from nucleus to cytoplasm in endothelial cells during angiogenesis, and the dynamic distribution is required for its angiogenic function. A nuclear localisation signal is mapped to residues 260-288.
"Angiogenic factor with G-patch and FHA domains 1 (AGGF1) exhibits a dynamic"
-
Cytoplasmic distribution requires both the FHA domain and 14-3-3 alpha/beta, and the FHA domain is what binds 14-3-3. No phosphorylation claim is made in the abstract, and phospho-dependence was not tested.
"localization. The distribution of AGGF1 in cytoplasm needs both FHA domain and"
Receptor and Molecular Mechanism of AGGF1 Signaling in Endothelial Cell Functions and Angiogenesis.
-
Integrin alpha5beta1 is the endothelial receptor for AGGF1: GST-AGGF1 precipitates integrin alpha5 from HUVEC extracts dose-dependently, and only anti-alpha5, anti-beta1 and anti-alpha5beta1 antibodies block HUVEC adhesion to AGGF1.
"GST pull-down assays showed that GST-AGGF1, but not control GST, precipitated integrin-α5 from HUVEC protein extracts"
-
AGGF1 treatment of HUVECs activates FAK, Src and AKT, and the AKT response is abolished by siRNA against ITGA5, ITGB1, PTK2 or SRC.
"Altogether, these data suggest that AGGF1 activates AKT signaling via integrin α5β1, FAK and Src."
-
The angiogenic activity maps to residues 604-613 (FQRDDAPAS), a motif lying outside both the FHA and the G-patch domain, and the RDD is required - changing it to the classical RGD integrin motif abolishes blocking activity.
"A 40-mer or 15-mer peptide containing the angiogenic domain blocks AGGF1 function, however, a 15-mer peptide containing a single
amino acid mutation from -RDD- to -RGD- (a classical RGD integrin-binding motif)
failed to block AGGF1 function."

Co-immunoprecipitation in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells independently re-confirms the AGGF1-TNFSF12 interaction first reported in 2004.
"AGGF1 (V5GQ) is known to promote angiogenesis by interacting with TNFSF12 (TWEAK)"
-
Silencing AGGF1 reduces TNFSF12-FN14 binding, i.e. AGGF1 promotes the interaction - the opposite of what PMID:36696895 reports in muscle.
"Our results revealed that the binding of TNFSF12 to FN14 diminished when AGGF1 was silenced"
-
AGGF1 protein is elevated in the vitreous fluid of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, independent human evidence that the protein reaches the extracellular space.

Recombinant AGGF1 raises PI3K and phospho-Akt and improves blood-brain-barrier integrity after subarachnoid haemorrhage, and the protection is abolished by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002. Independent corroboration of the AGGF1-PI3K/AKT axis from a group with a senior author who appears on none of the dominant group's papers - but the work is in rats, so it supports the pathway without bearing on the human evidence code.
"significantly increased the expression of PI3K, p-Akt, VE-cadherin, Occludin,"

Immunofluorescence in human HCT116 cells shows AGGF1 co-localising with gammaH2AX after cisplatin-induced DNA double-strand breaks. Cited only as independent human-cell corroboration that AGGF1 is nuclear - gammaH2AX marks nuclear chromatin - and not for the DNA-repair interpretation, which this review does not annotate.
"Immunofluorescence assay showed the co-localization of AGGF1 and γH2AX."
