ENPP1 original-source access and evidence guide

The locators below identify the original evidence used to assess ENPP1 annotations. Access to an abstract is distinguished from reading operative Methods, Results and figure captions. Independently established functions can support retaining an annotation whose original citation remains inaccessible; they do not establish what the unread paper measured. No publication quotations are added to the review, and normal publication-cache availability flags are preserved.

Natural products and experimental preparations

The imported human UniProt P22413 record describes a 925-amino-acid type-II membrane protein and a 103–925 secreted chain inferred by similarity to mouse. That processed chain is not a separately documented splice isoform. alternative_products is reserved for UniProt splice-isoform entries and was not invented here. Soluble human plasma PC-1 is independently detected in PMID:11159191, but that experiment does not determine the human cleavage site. Mouse donor P06802 separately annotates membrane homodimer and secreted monomer; the mouse distinction is not assumed to be directly measured for every human preparation.

Recombinant extracellular fragments, domain deletions, catalytic mutants and ENPP1/ENPP2 fusions are experimental constructs. Their kinetic constants and residue coordinates must not automatically be assigned to full-length natural human ENPP1.

Database and ontology evidence

Current QuickGO term records were retrieved for all 52 seeded GO terms. GO:0004528 specifies sequential terminal oligonucleotide hydrolysis; a generic synthetic phosphodiesterase substrate does not establish that exact reaction. GO:0004551 has pyrophosphatase/acid-anhydride ancestry, so cGAMP phosphodiester cleavage does not establish this reaction merely by producing two mononucleotides. GO:0030505 requires directed PPi movement. GO:0005044 requires polyanionic-ligand binding and endocytic delivery. GO:0030318 concerns acquisition of specialized melanocyte features. The phosphate-ion homeostasis terms concern phosphate ions, distinct from the directly measured PPi. These definitions constrain the assessed claims without globally excluding untested ENPP1 biology. Current QuickGO also places the substrate-specific GO:0106177 term under acid-anhydride hydrolases; its exact cGAMP definition and Rhea reaction are retained without using that ancestry to infer GO:0004551 activity. The core extracellular location refers to the soluble product, rather than merely the external domain of membrane-bound ENPP1; no claim is made that every natural product was individually assayed against both core substrates.

The pinned PTHR10151 PAINT table records the actual PTN002562515 IBD assertions. Human ENPP1 appearing among descendant sources is legitimate, and donor count is not a weakness. The cache has basolateral location at this node but lacks an exact plasma-membrane IBD row corresponding to the imported plasma-membrane IBA; current full-tree retrieval timed out. No tree-placement error is inferred. Independent human surface experiments establish the location. The PPi-transport concern concerns the experimental process meaning, not fabricated phylogenetic loss or divergence.

Official mouse UniProt P06802 and both QuickGO result pages were retrieved to identify actual donor records. Older mouse phosphodiesterase-I originals cited by the donor were not independently read; their curated assertion is not dismissed. The two PPi donor originals above were examined specifically to distinguish transport from generation.

Official InterPro records for IPR001604, IPR020821 and IPR020436 and the human P22413 match list were retrieved. Domain matches are real; generic domain-level scavenger-receptor/polysaccharide/immune mappings are not independent target assays. Immune-response retention instead uses the cGAMP originals. Nuclease-like architecture does not refute the separately reported ENPP1 oligoadenylate activity.

Official ARBA00027801, ARBA00029247, ARBA00088592 and ARBA00091019 records were retrieved. Their actual matching FunFam conditions were compared with human UniProt cross-references. The ARBA00098322 and ARBA00098486 endpoints returned 404; their conditions were not invented. The corresponding UTP and ATP Rhea equations were independently available.

The official Rhea SPARQL endpoint supplied equations for RHEA:14245 (ATP), 23996 (general NTP), 25277 (cAMP), 27762 (CTP), 29391 (GTP), 29395 (UTP) and 58808 (cGAMP). Correct chemical mappings do not by themselves verify the ENPP1 substrate experiments. Reactome R-HSA-196955 places its ENPP1 catalyst at the plasma membrane; the model's small-molecule compartment labels do not establish cytosolic ENPP1.

Focused follow-up assessment

The PMID:11289049 original, PC-1–IR interaction Methods (p. 832) and Figs. 2–3 (p. 833), identifies the receptor partner sufficiently to refine generic protein binding to insulin receptor binding. Receptor capture and co-immunoprecipitation are the measured association; purified binary affinity is not asserted.

The PMID:28592560 original, patient-fibroblast Results and Fig. 2C–F, measures ENPP1 activity and its own transcript. NT5E transcript is unchanged in ENPP1-mutant cells despite altered CD73 activity. Increased ALPL expression is reported in ABCC6-mutant cells, and Discussion/Fig. 7 explicitly presents a still-untested adenosine/receptor regulatory model. The distinction between an expression readout/regulatory consequence and participation in producing a gene product warrants a curator source query. Because the detailed supplementary methods remain unread, the IDA assertion is UNDECIDED; incomplete experimental coverage does not justify removal. This does not rule out downstream expression regulation.

For IPR020436, the polysaccharide-binding assessment concerns ligand specificity: a broad somatomedin-B mapping does not establish binding of the polysaccharide class. PMID:28964717 Fig. 4f–h and PMID:23027977 SMB-Like Domains establish oligomerization and domain architecture. Scavenger-receptor activity independently requires ligand delivery by endocytosis; that extra requirement is not imposed on polysaccharide binding. Both mappings overshoot the available ENPP1 evidence for different term-specific reasons.

The current QuickGO GO:0009143 ancestor service, inspected 2026-10-24, does not include GO:0006796 in the is_a/part_of ancestors. The two nucleotide-catabolism replacements remain biological refinements without asserting the proposed ancestor chain. The ATP/PPi papers remain supports of the ATP core and the general location discussion; the cGAMP core directly lists its substrate-specific originals and this guide.
