Gene Description

ALDOB encodes liver-type fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, a cytosolic class I aldolase expressed prominently in liver, kidney and intestine. Its homotetramer catalyzes reversible cleavage of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, contributing to glycolysis and the reverse gluconeogenic reaction. The same enzyme efficiently cleaves fructose 1-phosphate into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde during dietary fructose catabolism. Biallelic loss of function causes hereditary fructose intolerance. In addition to these catalytic roles, ALDOB has experimentally supported interactions with the cytoskeleton and V-ATPase, and a reported noncatalytic scaffold activity that strengthens p53-mediated G6PD inhibition in hepatocellular carcinoma models.

Existing Annotations Review

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0004332 fructose-bisphosphate aldolase activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain conserved fructose-bisphosphate aldolase catalysis.
Reason: The seeded IBA names ancestral node PTN000179343. The current cached PTHR11627 PAINT export instead places this reaction at PTN004279385, with human experimental descendants; the historical node correspondence was not reconstructed. Direct purified human ALDOB kinetics independently establish cleavage of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (PMID:10625657; PMID:10970798), so the biological assertion is accepted without alleging loss or erroneous phylogenetic placement.

ACCEPT
Summary: The inherited cytosolic location agrees with ALDOB metabolism.
Reason: The IBA cytosolic compartment agrees with independent human enzyme/pathway evidence and the curated cytosolic reaction (Reactome:R-HSA-71496). The current PAINT export uses PTN004279385 for this location rather than the seeded PTN000179343; that version difference is recorded as a provenance limit, not evidence of a biological relocation.

IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: ALDOB directly performs the aldol-cleavage step of glycolysis.
Reason: Human ALDOB cleaves fructose 1,6-bisphosphate into the two triose phosphates, directly executing a glycolytic reaction. The PAINT family assertion is corroborated by human enzymology (PMID:10625657; PMID:10970798); target experimental evidence among ancestral descendants is legitimate grounding rather than circularity.

IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: ALDOB directly metabolizes fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.
Reason: Purified human ALDOB acts on fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, and the reversible reaction also produces it during gluconeogenesis. This substrate-level process accurately covers the enzyme chemistry; the inherited PAINT assertion does not depend on an indirect phenotype.

Reason: The full PMID:17576770 paper tests human ALDOB A318E and R303W constructs in yeast, alongside yeast aldolase mutants. Loss of B-subunit binding disrupts assembly, whereas a catalytically deficient construct supports assembly. This is positive structural/cofactor participation, not merely a consequence of glycolytic ATP production.

ACCEPT
Summary: Human variant assays support fructose-1-phosphate aldolase activity.
Reason: PMID:20848650 explicitly measures altered residual F1P activity of recombinant p.R46W and p.Y343H variants. This is direct human enzyme evidence; the separate clinical speculation about heterozygote susceptibility is not needed for this molecular-function judgment.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:20848650
The residual catalytic activity of the recombinant p.R46W and p.Y343H variants toward F1P was particularly altered.

ACCEPT
Summary: Retain catalytic activity alongside the noncatalytic scaffold study.
Reason: PMID:35122041 distinguishes enzyme-dependent and scaffold effects, while the individual activity-control experiments are not exposed in the accessible abstract. The existing human IDA is retained by curator deference and independent purified ALDOB kinetics. The 2025 correction PMID:41188550 replaces one Extended Data Fig. 4d image and associated source data; it does not announce withdrawal of the enzyme or scaffold conclusions.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10625657
We describe the biochemical and biophysical characterization of seven natural human aldolase B variants, identified in patients suffering from hereditary fructose intolerance and expressed as recombinant proteins in E. coli, from which they were purified to homogeneity.

MODIFY
Summary: Replace generic interaction with the demonstrated scaffold function.
Reason: PMID:35122041 reports an ALDOB-G6PD-p53 complex in which ALDOB strengthens p53-mediated G6PD inhibition independently of aldolase catalysis. The mapped partners P11413 and P04637 are G6PD and TP53. This supports molecular adaptor activity more informatively than protein binding; the same specific MF already has its own seeded annotation. The inference is restricted to the reported hepatic/HCC setting.
Proposed replacements: molecular adaptor activity
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:35122041
We further demonstrate that Aldob potentiates p53-mediated inhibition of G6PD in an Aldob-G6PD-p53 complex. This scaffolding effect is independent of Aldob enzymatic activity.

ACCEPT
Summary: Retain cytosolic ALDOB localization.
Reason: The human IDA compartment annotation from PMID:35122041 agrees with ALDOB cytosolic metabolism and the independent reaction location. The accessible abstract does not show the localization image, so the IDA is retained by curator deference rather than described as a re-extracted microscopy result.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain the reported G6PD-p53 adaptor function as context dependent.
Reason: The primary abstract explicitly reports that ALDOB potentiates p53 inhibition of G6PD in a ternary complex independently of catalytic activity. This positive scaffold mechanism supports the specific MF, with a non-core designation reflecting the hepatic tumor-model context rather than uncertainty about whether an enzyme can also be an adaptor. The full mechanistic body was not recovered; the 2025 image correction is recorded separately.
Supporting Evidence:

We further demonstrate that Aldob potentiates p53-mediated inhibition of G6PD in an Aldob-G6PD-p53 complex. This scaffolding effect is independent of Aldob enzymatic activity.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: ALDOB directly participates in inhibition of the pentose-phosphate pathway.
Reason: The source reports direct G6PD interaction/inhibition and enhancement of p53-mediated inhibition through a ternary scaffold, providing a molecular route beyond an indirect growth phenotype. Mouse liver knockout/rescue and human HCC observations define the study context. Retain this regulatory process as non-core without extending the measured mechanism to all ALDOB-expressing tissues.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:35122041
Here we show that hepatic aldolase B (Aldob) suppresses HCC by directly binding and inhibiting the rate-limiting enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD).

We further demonstrate that Aldob potentiates p53-mediated inhibition of G6PD in an Aldob-G6PD-p53 complex. This scaffolding effect is independent of Aldob enzymatic activity.

Summary: Human ALDOB kinetics establish bisphosphate aldolase catalysis.
Reason: PMID:10970798 compares expressed wild-type human ALDOB with R303Q and R303W variants, measuring turnover of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. Its structural interpretation uses homology models, not new crystal structures of those mutants.

Summary: The measured ALDOB reaction directly performs a glycolytic step.

Summary: The human enzyme has directly measured F1P activity.
Reason: PMID:10970798 assays wild-type and two R303 variants with fructose 1-phosphate. The reduced or absent variant activities are interpreted relative to the active wild-type protein, supporting the specific F1P aldolase function.

ACCEPT
Summary: The disease event retains ALDOB in the cytosolic compartment.
Reason: The live Reactome:R-HSA-5656438 record explicitly assigns cytosol to a defective-ALDOB event. That source concerns mutant loss of F1P cleavage and is not an independent wild-type positive catalytic assay. The compartment itself is consistent with independent human cytosolic ALDOB evidence and is retained. The recovered normal event summary now confirms the defective-enzyme context locally; the compartment was independently checked on the live human event.

Summary: Recombinant human ALDOB supports the F1P aldolase reaction.
Reason: PMID:2649152 expresses human ALDOB in E. coli and reports enzymatic activity and the F1,6BP/F1P activity ratio. The authors note differences in net charge and the F1,6BP Km from an earlier liver preparation, so identity of every kinetic parameter is not asserted.

UNDECIDED
Summary: The source-specific ALDOB extracellular-vesicle identification remains unresolved.
Reason: PMID:23533145 analyzes exosome-enriched expressed-prostatic-secretion urine pools. The full cached article establishes the preparation and proteomic screen, but the ALDOB-specific supplementary peptide entry was not recovered and no independent target-specific vesicle evidence was established here. Defer to the curator while leaving this HDA assertion UNDECIDED pending the target hit; this is an access limit, not evidence of contamination, a false identification or absence from exosomes.

Summary: The live F1P-cleavage event explicitly places ALDOB in cytosol.
Reason: Reactome:R-HSA-70342 describes a cytosolic ALDOB tetramer cleaving fructose 1-phosphate to glyceraldehyde and DHAP. The live event and independent human biochemistry support this compartment. The recovered normal summary now supplies the same compartment and reaction wording locally.

Summary: The reverse aldol-condensation event is cytosolic.
Reason: The cached Reactome:R-HSA-71495 reaction explicitly locates formation of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate from the two triose phosphates in cytosol. ALDOB is one of the active aldolase isozymes; no unique location relative to ALDOA or ALDOC is implied.

Summary: The canonical aldol-cleavage event is cytosolic.
Reason: Cached Reactome:R-HSA-71496 explicitly places aldolase-mediated F1,6BP cleavage in cytosol. The statement about equivalent aldolase isozymes pertains to this reaction and should not be generalized to equal F1P substrate kinetics.

Summary: The V-ATPase study includes ALDOB catalytic controls.
Reason: The full PMID:17576770 study measures human ALDOB and binding-defective A318E catalytic activity while separating it from V-ATPase association. These positive activity controls support the aldolase MF; the coupled assay does not make ALDOB itself an NADH oxidoreductase.

Summary: Retain the curated catalytic activity from the isozyme comparison.
Reason: PMID:9244396 compares human aldolase isozymes and their cytoskeletal interactions. The cached abstract gives a positive ALDOB result but foregrounds ALDOA for detailed substrate-competition and mutant experiments. Retain the curated ALDOB activity in light of independent human kinetics, without attributing every ALDOA assay to ALDOB.

Summary: Human ALDOB deficiency and enzyme chemistry support fructose metabolism.
Reason: PMID:3383242 identifies an HFI-associated ALDOB lesion in patients, explicitly describing the resulting inability to metabolize fructose. This is a genotype/deficient-protein study, not a new purified-enzyme kinetic experiment. Independent ALDOB F1P cleavage establishes direct pathway participation.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain the direct human ALDOB cytoskeletal-binding observation.
Reason: PMID:9244396 explicitly reports that liver-type aldolase B prefers liver cytoskeleton. This supports the broad cytoskeletal protein-binding term as a non-core interaction. The detailed ALDOA mutant, fibroblast and contraction experiments cannot be silently transferred to ALDOB or used to assert an ALDOB contraction mechanism.
Supporting Evidence:

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Human ALDOB binding to V-ATPase has a measured assembly consequence.
Reason: Full PMID:17576770 experiments distinguish human ALDOB binding to the V-ATPase B subunit from aldolase catalysis, including human constructs expressed in yeast. ATPase binding is an informative, experimentally grounded non-core MF here; it does not imply that ALDOB hydrolyzes ATP or transports protons.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:17576770
Functional analysis of the aldolase mutants shows that disruption of binding between aldolase and the B subunit of V-ATPase results in disassembly and malfunction of V-ATPase.

Summary: The complete cited assays concern fructose phosphates, not free fructose.
Reason: GO:0070061 explicitly denotes binding to unphosphorylated fructose. PMID:10625657 Methods/Results measure F1P and F1,6BP cleavage, phosphorylated-substrate affinity elution and DHAP/glyceraldehyde condensation. Its mutant binding interpretation concerns phosphate-bearing substrates. Remove the unsupported free-fructose assignment rather than change binding into a catalytic category; the aldolase activities already capture the supported chemistry. This source mismatch does not prove that ALDOB could never bind free fructose.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Should GO:0070061 be removed from ALDOB when the cited experiments concern fructose 1-phosphate and fructose 1,6-bisphosphate rather than unphosphorylated fructose? A phosphate-sugar interaction term, if needed, must preserve ligand specificity rather than duplicate the catalytic annotations.

Q: How do the historical PAINT PTN000179343 annotations correspond to the current PTHR11627 IBD at PTN004279385?

Q: What original ALDOB experiments support the source-specific EXP assignments to PMID:6696436 and the metadata-only PMID:12205126 record?

Q: How broadly do endogenous human ALDOB-G6PD-p53 scaffolding and ALDOB-dependent V-ATPase assembly operate outside the hepatic tumor models and heterologous yeast assays, respectively?

Q: Does endogenous ALDOB localize to defined centriolar satellites in physiologically expressing human cells, beyond the transfected-HeLa peripheral centrosomal pattern?

Q: Should ALDOA and PFKM fructose-binding judgments be revisited where they equate phosphorylated substrates with free fructose? Their existing ACCEPT reasons invoke F1,6BP or F6P, but GO:0070061 is on the monosaccharide-binding branch and GO:0070095 is on the carbohydrate-derivative-binding branch. The shared ARBA00092505 mapping also warrants source-level review. This is a scoped follow-up question, not an automatic reversal of those genes without their primary evidence.

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Compare purified human ALDOB binding to free fructose, F1P and F1,6BP with catalysis-independent affinity measurements, using catalytic and oligomerization controls.

Experiment: Measure endogenous ALDOB-dependent G6PD-p53 complex formation and pentose-phosphate flux across primary human liver, kidney and intestinal cells, separating catalytic rescue from interaction-selective rescue.
