CPAP is a centrosomal and centriolar protein that binds tubulin and organizes its incorporation during centriole construction. Its PN2-3 region recognizes tubulin, while coiled-coil and C-terminal interactions connect this activity to the centriolar assembly machinery, including STIL and CEP135. Reconstitution and cellular experiments support control of microtubule growth and centriole length, with the direction of the growth effect depending on the construct and assay. CPAP also associates with gamma-tubulin-containing complexes and contributes to centrosomal aster formation. Human CPAP has shown STAT5 coactivator activity in a defined reporter system. Pathogenic variants can disrupt centriole formation and cause primary microcephaly or Seckel syndrome.

| GO:0003713 transcription coactivator activity | IDA PMID:12198240 CPAP is a novel stat5-interacting cofactor that augments sta... | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: CPAP augments STAT5-dependent transcription in a defined reporter system. Reason: The original PMID:12198240 Methods and Results test human CPAP residues 5–1338, called full-length in the paper, with mouse Stat5a/b in human cells. Co-IP, hormone-dependent nuclear accumulation and increased STAT5-response-element reporter activity support the existing coactivator assignment. Equivalent JAK2 and phospho-STAT5 controls do not establish upstream kinase activation or an endogenous target-gene mechanism. This context-specific activity is retained outside the principal centriole-construction core. Supporting Evidence: PMID:12198240 CPAP was found to augment Stat5-mediated transcription. |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:11003675 Protein 4.1 R-135 interacts with a novel centrosomal protein... | MODIFY | Summary: CPAP binds the cytoskeletal protein EPB41/4.1R-135. Reason: PMID:11003675 directly tests the CPAP C-terminal region and the head domain of 4.1R-135. The verified partner P11171 is a membrane-skeleton component, supporting cytoskeletal protein binding. The assignment describes this positive pair, without extending the assay to every EPB41 product or asserting a new adaptor activity. Proposed replacements: cytoskeletal protein binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:16516142 CPAP interacts with 14-3-3 in a cell cycle-dependent manner. | MODIFY | Summary: The positive association is with the 14-3-3 protein YWHAG. Reason: PMID:16516142 explicitly reports two-hybrid/co-IP association, phosphatase sensitivity and loss of binding after CPAP S1109A substitution; the current MINT record identifies human YWHAG. The verified counterpart class supports 14-3-3 protein binding while preserving the assay scope. Proximity or IP-MS evidence is not presented as purified binary affinity; the independent small-scale interaction in PMID:16516142 corroborates the pair. Proposed replacements: 14-3-3 protein binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:16713569 A protein-protein interaction network for human inherited at... | MODIFY | Summary: CPAP associates with the DNA-binding transcription factor GFI1B. Reason: PMID:16713569 has two exact source-linked records for Q5VTD9, one two-hybrid and one pull-down; the recorded GFI1B construct covers residues 1–330. Current official sequence checks reproduce both participant ROGIDs. Reviewed partner function and current RNA polymerase II DNA-binding transcription-factor annotations support this binding-class refinement. This does not assert that CPAP itself is a DNA-binding transcription factor, establish a native transcriptional role for this pair, or erase the reported fragment scope. The original paper was available here as an abstract plus literal curated interaction records. Proposed replacements: RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:16713569 A protein-protein interaction network for human inherited at... | MODIFY | Summary: CPAP associates with the DNA-binding transcription factor CIC. Reason: PMID:16713569 has two exact source-linked records for Q96RK0, one two-hybrid and one pull-down; the recorded CIC construct covers residues 2210–2517. Current official sequence checks reproduce both participant ROGIDs. Reviewed partner function and current RNA polymerase II DNA-binding transcription-factor annotations support this binding-class refinement. This does not assert that CPAP itself is a DNA-binding transcription factor, establish a native transcriptional role for this pair, or erase the reported fragment scope. The original paper was available here as an abstract plus literal curated interaction records. Proposed replacements: RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:20531387 PLK2 phosphorylation is critical for CPAP function in procen... | MODIFY | Summary: CPAP associates with the centriolar assembly regulator CEP135. Reason: The source-linked PMID:20531387 record is colocalization, not a purified binding assay; the independent direct CPAP–CEP135 experiments in PMID:23511974 supply corroborating physical association. CEP135 participates in reorganizing the centriolar microtubule scaffold, supporting cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding at the documented interaction scope. No new enzymatic or molecular-adaptor activity is inferred from the partner class. Proposed replacements: cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:20531387 PLK2 phosphorylation is critical for CPAP function in procen... | MODIFY | Summary: CPAP binds the protein kinase PLK2 as an experimentally tested substrate. Reason: PMID:20531387 and its exact source-linked phosphorylation records identify PLK2 acting on CPAP, including the tested N-terminal CPAP region. This supports kinase binding without assigning kinase activity to CPAP. The same-source existing GO:0019901 row is independently retained; this is a source-row refinement, not a NEW assertion. Proposed replacements: protein kinase binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:20852615 Asterless is a scaffold for the onset of centriole assembly. | MODIFY | Summary: CPAP associates with the centriolar assembly regulator CEP152. Reason: The PMID:20852615 abstract explicitly distinguishes Drosophila Asl from human CEP152 and reports human CPAP recruitment/interaction. Full source Methods were not recovered, so detailed construct mapping is not claimed. CEP152 participates in reorganizing the centriolar microtubule scaffold, supporting cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding at the documented interaction scope. No new enzymatic or molecular-adaptor activity is inferred from the partner class. Proposed replacements: cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:20936779 A human MAP kinase interactome. | MODIFY | Summary: The positive association is with the 14-3-3 protein YWHAG. Reason: The exact PMID:20936779 IntAct record identifies a CPAP–YWHAG two-hybrid pooling interaction. The source main Methods and network limitations were read. The verified counterpart class supports 14-3-3 protein binding while preserving the assay scope. Proximity or IP-MS evidence is not presented as purified binary affinity; the independent small-scale interaction in PMID:16516142 corroborates the pair. Proposed replacements: 14-3-3 protein binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:22020124 The human microcephaly protein STIL interacts with CPAP and ... | MODIFY | Summary: CPAP associates with the centriolar assembly regulator STIL. Reason: PMID:22020124 tests CPAP residues 895–1338 with STIL by two-hybrid/pull-down and shows endogenous CPAP/STIL/hSAS6 co-IP. E1235V weakens the interaction. STIL participates in reorganizing the centriolar microtubule scaffold, supporting cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding at the documented interaction scope. No new enzymatic or molecular-adaptor activity is inferred from the partner class. Proposed replacements: cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:22699936 Tankyrase 1 regulates centrosome function by controlling CPA... | MODIFY | Summary: CPAP associates with the active enzyme tankyrase/TNKS. Reason: Actual PMID:22699936 Methods and Results identify C-terminal CPAP binding to TNKS and PARylation of recombinant CPAP by TNKS. CPAP is the substrate in that reaction. Enzyme binding describes the counterpart class without assigning PARP activity or a PARylation-process role to CPAP; native encounters and engineered REYPDG-motif controls are kept distinct. Proposed replacements: enzyme binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:23511974 Human microcephaly protein CEP135 binds to hSAS-6 and CPAP, ... | MODIFY | Summary: CPAP associates with the centriolar assembly regulator CEP135. Reason: PMID:23511974 directly tests human CPAP/CEP135 co-IP and recombinant or translated partners, including CPAP residues 895–1338 with CEP135 residues 1–460. CEP135 participates in reorganizing the centriolar microtubule scaffold, supporting cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding at the documented interaction scope. No new enzymatic or molecular-adaptor activity is inferred from the partner class. Proposed replacements: cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:24076405 Structural analysis of the G-box domain of the microcephaly ... | MODIFY | Summary: CPAP associates with the centriolar assembly regulator STIL. Reason: PMID:24076405 separates human binding measurements from zebrafish crystal constructs. Human G-box binds human STIL385–433, and human CPAP E1235 substitutions weaken binding; the zebrafish G-box–STIL crystal is not called an intact human complex. STIL participates in reorganizing the centriolar microtubule scaffold, supporting cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding at the documented interaction scope. No new enzymatic or molecular-adaptor activity is inferred from the partner class. Proposed replacements: cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:25385835 RBM14 prevents assembly of centriolar protein complexes and ... | MODIFY | Summary: CPAP associates with the centriolar assembly regulator STIL. Reason: PMID:25385835 shows a direct recombinant CPAP STIL-binding-domain/STIL-N interaction and competition by RBM14, as well as cellular complex assays. Failure of one initial endogenous co-IP is not a general negative interaction result. STIL participates in reorganizing the centriolar microtubule scaffold, supporting cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding at the documented interaction scope. No new enzymatic or molecular-adaptor activity is inferred from the partner class. Proposed replacements: cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:26638075 A Dynamic Protein Interaction Landscape of the Human Centros... | MODIFY | Summary: The positive association is with the 14-3-3 protein YWHAG. Reason: The exact PMID:26638075 IntAct record is a BioID proximity association with YWHAG, with spoke expansion retained. The archived genuine full extraction describes proximity labeling; the protected publication cache remains abstract-only. The verified counterpart class supports 14-3-3 protein binding while preserving the assay scope. Proximity or IP-MS evidence is not presented as purified binary affinity; the independent small-scale interaction in PMID:16516142 corroborates the pair. Proposed replacements: 14-3-3 protein binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:26638075 A Dynamic Protein Interaction Landscape of the Human Centros... | MODIFY | Summary: CPAP associates with the centriolar assembly regulator STIL. Reason: The exact PMID:26638075 record is a BioID proximity association with STIL. Separate direct interaction assays in PMID:22020124 and PMID:24076405 corroborate the pair; proximity alone is not represented as purified affinity. STIL participates in reorganizing the centriolar microtubule scaffold, supporting cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding at the documented interaction scope. No new enzymatic or molecular-adaptor activity is inferred from the partner class. Proposed replacements: cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:32296183 A reference map of the human binary protein interactome. | MODIFY | Summary: The HuRI interaction is with the cytoskeletal regulator BCCIP. Reason: The three exact PMID:32296183 two-hybrid records contain Q9HC77 and Q9P287 with official-sequence-matching ROGIDs. Reviewed BCCIP function includes microtubule anchoring/stabilization and spindle-pole organization, supporting cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding. This is a partner-class interpretation of the positive screen, not an inferred physiological CPAP–BCCIP pathway or evidence that the pair must encounter each other in every native cell. Proposed replacements: cytoskeletal regulatory protein binding |
| GO:0005515 protein binding | IPI PMID:35271311 OpenCell: Endogenous tagging for the cartography of human ce... | MODIFY | Summary: The positive association is with the 14-3-3 protein YWHAG. Reason: The original OpenCell processed dataset for PMID:35271311 contains YWHAG bait and CENPJ prey (CSV line 29152). The prey group includes Q9HC77 and Q9HC77-2 plus other identifiers, so the assay does not resolve individual CPAP products. The verified counterpart class supports 14-3-3 protein binding while preserving the assay scope. Proximity or IP-MS evidence is not presented as purified binary affinity; the independent small-scale interaction in PMID:16516142 corroborates the pair. Proposed replacements: 14-3-3 protein binding |
| GO:0005737 cytoplasm | IDA PMID:12198240 CPAP is a novel stat5-interacting cofactor that augments sta... | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: CPAP has a substantial cytoplasmic pool in the STAT5 study. Reason: Actual PMID:12198240 immunofluorescence and fractionation distinguish predominantly cytoplasmic CPAP from lower basal nuclear levels and increased nuclear accumulation after prolactin signaling. Retain the cytoplasmic localization at that cellular scope; the more specific centriole core does not make the separate soluble pool incorrect. |
| GO:0005737 cytoplasm | IDA PMID:22020124 The human microcephaly protein STIL interacts with CPAP and ... | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: CPAP has a cytoplasmic pool alongside centriolar localization. Reason: PMID:22020124 assays endogenous and expressed CPAP and its STIL-containing complexes. The broad cytoplasmic localization is retained as non-core context rather than forcing all CPAP molecules into the centriole. More specific centriolar rows are separately supported. |
| GO:0005813 centrosome | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP is a centrosomal protein. Reason: Current PANTHER tree and exact 1338-residue target MSA place CPAP below PTN000817566. The literal current IBD GAF contains the positive centrosome assertion at that node; no target-path loss record was found. The target in WITH/FROM is legitimate descendant experimental evidence, not circularity. Propagation Review Root cause: NO FAILURE CORE Sources checked: PANTHER:PTN000817566 SUPPORTS TRANSFER Actual current positive IBD GAF record and target descent were verified against the current PANTHER tree; target MSA matches the official displayed sequence. Historical session details are not invented. Extant descendant annotations are separately projected in the evidence index. |
| GO:0005813 centrosome | IDA GO_REF:0000052 | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP is a centrosomal protein. Reason: The existing GO_REF:0000052 immunofluorescence curation is consistent with multiple independent CPAP centrosome-localization studies. Its particular image was not independently recovered; experimental curation is retained without claiming a new image read. |
| GO:0005813 centrosome | IDA PMID:11003675 Protein 4.1 R-135 interacts with a novel centrosomal protein... | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP is a centrosomal protein. Reason: Actual PMID:11003675 immunofluorescence localizes CPAP with gamma-tubulin throughout the cell cycle, and biochemical fractions corroborate centrosomal association. This source alone does not resolve every centrosomal substructure. Supporting Evidence: PMID:11003675 CPAP and gamma-tubulin are localized within the centrosome throughout the cell cycle. |
| GO:0005813 centrosome | IDA PMID:21399614 Novel asymmetrically localizing components of human centroso... | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP is a centrosomal protein. Reason: PMID:21399614 is a centrosome proteomics/localization study. The original main text was recovered, but attempted target supplements returned HTML challenge pages, so the exact target table was not reconstructed. Retain the experimental curator assertion because independent CPAP localization in PMID:11003675 and PMID:22020124 establishes the same biological location. The attached PMID:11003675 excerpt is independent CPAP localization support; it is not represented as a recovered PMID:21399614 target-table entry. Supporting Evidence: PMID:11003675 CPAP and gamma-tubulin are localized within the centrosome throughout the cell cycle. |
| GO:0005813 centrosome | IEA GO_REF:0000044 | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP is a centrosomal protein. Reason: The official UniProt SL-0048 centrosome mapping matches direct human CPAP localization. This electronic mapping is supported by independent target experiments; finer centriolar locations are separately represented. |
| GO:0005814 centriole | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP localizes to centrioles and growing procentrioles. Reason: The actual positive IBD at PTN000817566 and current tree/MSA support inherited centriole localization; target human experimental rows and mouse donor localization are independently present. Short donor lists and target self-evidence are not weaknesses. Propagation Review Root cause: NO FAILURE CORE Sources checked: PANTHER:PTN000817566 SUPPORTS TRANSFER Actual current positive IBD GAF record and target descent were verified against the current PANTHER tree; target MSA matches the official displayed sequence. Historical session details are not invented. Extant descendant annotations are separately projected in the evidence index. |
| GO:0005814 centriole | IDA PMID:17681131 Plk4-induced centriole biogenesis in human cells. | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP localizes to centrioles and growing procentrioles. Reason: PMID:17681131 publisher-indexed Results place endogenous human CPAP in proximal parental and nascent centriole lumens. The original author thesis provides corroborating immuno-EM and Methods. The thesis is a distinct source, not a journal reprint; complete journal Methods were not recovered. Supporting Evidence: PMID:17681131 Cep135 and CPAP formed a core structure within the proximal lumen |
| GO:0005814 centriole | IDA PMID:20531387 PLK2 phosphorylation is critical for CPAP function in procen... | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP localizes to centrioles and growing procentrioles. Reason: PMID:20531387 directly localizes phosphorylated CPAP preferentially to procentrioles and tests phosphorylation-site mutants. This is target localization, not a transfer of PLK2 localization. Supporting Evidence: PMID:20531387 CPAP is preferentially located at the procentriole |
| GO:0005814 centriole | IDA PMID:22020124 The human microcephaly protein STIL interacts with CPAP and ... | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP localizes to centrioles and growing procentrioles. Reason: PMID:22020124 directly examines human CPAP centriole localization and its dependence on the STIL assembly system. |
| GO:0005814 centriole | IEA GO_REF:0000120 | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP localizes to centrioles and growing procentrioles. Reason: Current ARBA00088571 branch 8 exactly matches official FunFam 2.60.450.20:FF:000001 and Mammalia. The Ensembl/mouse/SL-0046 contexts resolve to centriole localization, including current mouse IDA PMID:23213448. Direct human localization independently supports retention; current rule evaluation does not reconstruct an older rule version. |

| GO:0007020 microtubule nucleation | TAS PMID:11003675 Protein 4.1 R-135 interacts with a novel centrosomal protein... | MODIFY | Summary: The original reconstitution measures microtubule nucleation by isolated centrosomes. Reason: PMID:11003675 uses centrosomes isolated from nocodazole-treated human Molt4 cells with bovine brain tubulin. Anti-CPAP reduces aster number and microtubule length, with normal IgG, anti-gamma-tubulin and centrosome-free controls. This supports microtubule nucleation by a microtubule organizing center (GO:0051418). The assay does not establish the spindle-pole context required for astral microtubules (GO:0000235), and does not show autonomous nucleation by purified CPAP. Each original source assertion is preserved even where reviewed replacements converge. Proposed replacements: microtubule nucleation by microtubule organizing center |
| GO:0007099 centriole replication | IEA GO_REF:0000117 | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP participates in centriole replication. Reason: Current ARBA00092134 branch 2 exactly matches the official CPAP FunFam and Metazoa. Human depletion, localization and assembly experiments in PMID:17681131 and PMID:22020124 support the predicted process: CPAP supplies tubulin-binding/assembly work in building procentrioles, not merely an unrelated necessary substrate. |
| GO:0007099 centriole replication | IMP PMID:17681131 Plk4-induced centriole biogenesis in human cells. | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP contributes to human procentriole formation. Reason: PMID:17681131 publisher-indexed Results and the separate original-author thesis show that CPAP depletion blocks Myc-Plk4-induced procentriole formation in U2OS cells and localize endogenous CPAP to the nascent structure. These findings combine necessity with structural placement; antibody-production fragments are not mistaken for functional isoform constructs. |
| GO:0007099 centriole replication | IMP PMID:22020124 The human microcephaly protein STIL interacts with CPAP and ... | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP is required within the STIL-dependent procentriole assembly system. Reason: Actual PMID:22020124 human CPAP depletion suppresses GFP-STIL-induced centriole amplification, alongside direct interaction and complex evidence. CPAP performs structural/tubulin-binding work in that assembly system; the outcome is not interpreted as CPAP catalyzing STIL or Plk4 activation. |
| GO:0008275 gamma-tubulin small complex | NAS PMID:11003675 Protein 4.1 R-135 interacts with a novel centrosomal protein... | MODIFY | Summary: The original study supports a gamma-tubulin-associated complex of unresolved precise composition. Reason: PMID:11003675 reports reciprocal endogenous CPAP/gamma-tubulin co-immunoprecipitation in SiHa cells and cosedimentation in gamma-tubulin-enriched Molt4 fractions (Results and Figure 7). Together these support a native gamma-tubulin-containing multiprotein complex at the broad GO:0000930 scope. They do not establish the defined small-complex composition, canonical gamma-TuRC membership, fixed stoichiometry, or direct CPAP–gamma-tubulin contact. The Discussion explicitly leaves precise composition unexamined. Those limits motivate generalizing GO:0008275, rather than discarding the positive complex evidence; the complex-membership judgment does not depend on an ordinary source qualifier. Proposed replacements: gamma-tubulin complex |
| GO:0015631 tubulin binding | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: Tubulin binding is a conserved central CPAP activity. Reason: The exact current IBD GAF places tubulin binding at PTN000817566, above the human target in the current tree. Human experimental PMID:15047868 supplies descendant evidence, and structural/reconstitution work independently corroborates direct tubulin recognition. There is no target-path loss or sequence mismatch in the current displayed-product MSA. Propagation Review Root cause: NO FAILURE CORE Sources checked: PANTHER:PTN000817566 SUPPORTS TRANSFER Actual current positive IBD GAF record and target descent were verified against the current PANTHER tree; target MSA matches the official displayed sequence. Historical session details are not invented. Extant descendant annotations are separately projected in the evidence index. |
| GO:0015631 tubulin binding | IDA PMID:15047868 Identification of a novel microtubule-destabilizing motif in... | ACCEPT | Summary: The CPAP PN2-3 region directly binds alpha/beta-tubulin dimers. Reason: Actual PMID:15047868 tests bacterially expressed human CPAP PN2-3 residues 311–422 with bovine tubulin, using control fragments, GST and a separate His-tagged gel-filtration assay. This supports tubulin binding, without transferring the assay to gamma-tubulin or every alternative CPAP product. Supporting Evidence: PMID:15047868 this 112-residue CPAP also binds to tubulin dimers |
| GO:0019901 protein kinase binding | IPI PMID:20531387 PLK2 phosphorylation is critical for CPAP function in procen... | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: CPAP binds the protein kinase PLK2. Reason: PMID:20531387 identifies CPAP as a PLK2 substrate and directly tests the kinase–substrate system, with exact source-linked records retained. Keep the specific binding activity as non-core regulatory context; CPAP is not itself the kinase. Supporting Evidence: PMID:20531387 PLK2 phosphorylates the S589 and S595 residues of CPAP |
| GO:0019904 protein domain specific binding | IPI PMID:11984006 The Chediak-Higashi protein interacts with SNARE complex and... | UNDECIDED | Summary: The reported CPAP–LYST domain interaction remains incompletely resolved here. Reason: PMID:11984006 reports a human LYST-interaction screen using multiple bait fragments, but the available abstract does not identify the CPAP/LIP1 pair or its domain mapping. The PMC article route supplied a scanned-paper stub and a putative PDF returned HTML; full target-specific Results were not recovered. Preserve the curator assertion as unresolved rather than infer a wrong gene or remove positive binding from incomplete access. |
| GO:0030954 astral microtubule nucleation | IDA PMID:11003675 Protein 4.1 R-135 interacts with a novel centrosomal protein... | MODIFY | Summary: The original reconstitution measures microtubule nucleation by isolated centrosomes. Reason: PMID:11003675 uses centrosomes isolated from nocodazole-treated human Molt4 cells with bovine brain tubulin. Anti-CPAP reduces aster number and microtubule length, with normal IgG, anti-gamma-tubulin and centrosome-free controls. This supports microtubule nucleation by a microtubule organizing center (GO:0051418). The assay does not establish the spindle-pole context required for astral microtubules (GO:0000235), and does not show autonomous nucleation by purified CPAP. Each original source assertion is preserved even where reviewed replacements converge. Proposed replacements: microtubule nucleation by microtubule organizing center |
| GO:0036064 ciliary basal body | IEA GO_REF:0000107 | ACCEPT | Summary: The mouse ortholog provides direct basal-body localization evidence. Reason: The two source identifiers resolve through official cross-references to mouse Q569L8. Its current same-term IDA record cites PMID:23213448. This provides a genuine experimental donor for the Ensembl transfer and is coherent with conserved CPAP centriole/basal-body construction. The donor record was read, not the full mouse primary paper; no fabricated historical tree or isoform-equivalence claim is made. |
| GO:0042802 identical protein binding | IPI PMID:24076405 Structural analysis of the G-box domain of the microcephaly ... | MODIFY | Summary: Human CPAP has experimentally demonstrated homodimerization. Reason: Actual PMID:24076405 SEC-MALS measures a dimer of the human CPAP coiled-coil segment 897–1056; an engineered terminal cysteine supports parallel orientation. This is more specific than identical-protein binding. The result is kept distinct from monomeric dilute human/zebrafish G-box constructs and concentration-dependent zebrafish G-box assemblies, and is not presented as a complete native full-length structure. Proposed replacements: protein homodimerization activity |
| GO:0043015 gamma-tubulin binding | IDA PMID:11003675 Protein 4.1 R-135 interacts with a novel centrosomal protein... | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: CPAP associates with gamma-tubulin in native cellular complexes. Reason: PMID:11003675 reciprocal co-IP and cosedimentation provide positive gamma-tubulin association, supporting the existing partner-specific binding assignment. The purified pair assay in that paper concerns EPB41, not gamma-tubulin, so purified binary affinity or a defined small-complex interface is not claimed. |
| GO:0045893 positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription | IEA GO_REF:0000108 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: CPAP can enhance transcription in the experimentally defined STAT5 context. Reason: The logical inference from the existing coactivator annotation is biologically supported by PMID:12198240, including STAT5-dependent reporter enhancement. This is retained at that context rather than generalized to all transcription or promoted to the principal centriole function. |
| GO:0046427 positive regulation of receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT | IDA PMID:12198240 CPAP is a novel stat5-interacting cofactor that augments sta... | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: CPAP enhances the transcriptional output of a reconstituted JAK–STAT pathway. Reason: Actual PMID:12198240 human CPAP/mouse Stat5 reporter experiments show enhanced STAT5-dependent output after PRLR or Jak2 activation, with equivalent phospho-STAT5 and Jak2 controls. The current term includes increases in pathway activity; it does not require CPAP to be a kinase. Retain the existing positive regulatory annotation at the downstream coactivator scope, without claiming an identified endogenous target program or upstream phosphorylation mechanism. |
| GO:0046599 regulation of centriole replication | IMP PMID:20531387 PLK2 phosphorylation is critical for CPAP function in procen... | MODIFY | Summary: CPAP positively contributes to the centriole replication system. Reason: PMID:20531387 phosphosite-mutant, depletion/rescue and phosphorylation experiments connect CPAP function to procentriole formation. Positive regulation of centriole replication is the better source-specific description of this assembly contribution. PLK2/PLK4 perform phosphorylation; CPAP is the regulated substrate, not a kinase or an autonomous cell-cycle switch. Proposed replacements: positive regulation of centriole replication |
| GO:0046601 positive regulation of centriole replication | IDA PMID:22020124 The human microcephaly protein STIL interacts with CPAP and ... | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP positively supports STIL-driven centriole replication. Reason: PMID:22020124 directly depletes CPAP in the human STIL-induced amplification assay and establishes physical participation in the assembly complex. This supports the existing positive regulatory process at the measured cellular scope, alongside the more direct centriole-construction core. |
| GO:0046785 microtubule polymerization | IMP PMID:15047868 Identification of a novel microtubule-destabilizing motif in... | MODIFY | Summary: The cited experiments inhibit, rather than promote, microtubule polymerization. Reason: Actual PMID:15047868 PN2-3 and high-expression full-length CPAP experiments inhibit assembly, including centrosome-free polymerization; the negative regulation term describes this source more faithfully than polymerization itself. This is construct/concentration dependent. Modern PMID:27219064 and PMID:27306797 show controlled growth/tubulin incorporation with distinct constructs, so the source correction does not assert universal full-length depolymerase behavior. Proposed replacements: negative regulation of microtubule polymerization |
| GO:0051301 cell division | NAS PMID:11003675 Protein 4.1 R-135 interacts with a novel centrosomal protein... | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: CPAP supports cell division through its centrosome and centriole functions. Reason: The broad NAS annotation is coherent with CPAP participation in centriole construction and microtubule organization. PMID:11003675 itself tests localization, association and aster formation, not a direct cytokinesis or cell-division-failure assay. Retain the broad downstream role as non-core, supported holistically by later human centriole studies. |
| GO:0060236 regulation of mitotic spindle organization | NAS PMID:17576815 The zebra fish cassiopeia mutant reveals that SIL is require... | UNDECIDED | Summary: The cited SIL/STIL study does not resolve this CPAP-specific spindle-regulatory assertion. Reason: The complete recovered PMID:17576815 main Methods, Results and Discussion assay zebrafish and human SIL/STIL, not CPAP/CENPJ. This is a verified source-specific citation mismatch, not a title-based inference. CPAP aster nucleation in PMID:11003675 and centriole construction make a spindle contribution plausible but do not by themselves establish this precise regulatory relation. Keep the existing assertion unresolved rather than claim the biology is disproven or invent a CPAP experiment in the cited source. |
| GO:0060271 cilium assembly | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP contributes to cilium assembly through the conserved centriole/basal-body system. Reason: The literal positive cilium-assembly IBD at PTN000817566 is ancestral to the current human target; the same-term fly record includes IMP evidence, while the mouse current same-term record is propagated. This supports the conserved assembly role without treating each donor as experimentally independent. PMID:27306797 additionally tests human CPAP tubulin-binding mutants in RPE1 cells and fly Sas-4 rescue, finding altered ciliary length and microtubule structure. Its Discussion proposes regulation of the basal tubulin pool; direct extension at the axonemal tip is not demonstrated. Cilium assembly is retained within the integrated centriole/basal-body construction role rather than inferred solely from an unrelated developmental phenotype. Propagation Review Root cause: NO FAILURE CORE Sources checked: PANTHER:PTN000817566 SUPPORTS TRANSFER Actual current positive IBD GAF record and target descent were verified against the current PANTHER tree; target MSA matches the official displayed sequence. Historical session details are not invented. Extant descendant annotations are separately projected in the evidence index. |
| GO:0061511 centriole elongation | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP participates in centriole elongation. Reason: The current positive elongation IBD at PTN000817566 and exact target MSA support the inherited assertion. The target itself supplies the legitimate experimental descendant evidence from PMID:22020124; newer human structure/reconstitution and cellular assays further support the same role. Propagation Review Root cause: NO FAILURE CORE Sources checked: PANTHER:PTN000817566 SUPPORTS TRANSFER Actual current positive IBD GAF record and target descent were verified against the current PANTHER tree; target MSA matches the official displayed sequence. Historical session details are not invented. Extant descendant annotations are separately projected in the evidence index. |
| GO:0061511 centriole elongation | IDA PMID:22020124 The human microcephaly protein STIL interacts with CPAP and ... | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP-driven centriole elongation depends on its assembly partners. Reason: Actual PMID:22020124 CPAP-myc overexpression produces elongated centrioles, with STIL dependence. This is a direct CPAP cellular experiment, not an inference from a paper focusing on STIL. |
| GO:0120099 procentriole replication complex | IPI PMID:22020124 The human microcephaly protein STIL interacts with CPAP and ... | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP is part of the procentriole replication complex. Reason: Actual PMID:22020124 endogenous CPAP/STIL/hSAS6 co-IP and direct CPAP–STIL assays support this complex membership. The current GO definition explicitly encompasses the CPAP–STIL example; it does not imply every partner contacts every other partner directly. Supporting Evidence: PMID:22020124 STIL interacts directly with CPAP and forms a complex with hSAS6. |
| GO:1900087 positive regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle | IDA PMID:22020124 The human microcephaly protein STIL interacts with CPAP and ... | MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED | Summary: Centriole assembly during G1/S does not establish the defined G1/S signaling activity. Reason: The current GO:1900087 definition refers to activation of the signaling pathway that increases cyclin-dependent protein kinase activity to drive G1/S. Actual PMID:22020124 addresses STIL cell-cycle behavior, synchronization, centriole amplification and CPAP interaction/elongation; it does not demonstrate CPAP driving that CDK-activating pathway. The source genuinely assays CPAP, so this is process over-specificity rather than a wrong-gene claim. |
| GO:1902117 positive regulation of organelle assembly | IEA GO_REF:0000117 | MODIFY | Summary: The broad organelle-assembly rule can be refined to the experimentally supported centriole process. Reason: Current ARBA00088865 branch 4 exactly matches CPAP FunFam 2.60.450.20:FF:000001 and Metazoa. The actual human assembly data support positive regulation of centriole replication more specifically than generic organelle assembly. The same specific process is already represented by an experimental row; this source-preserving MODIFY is not an additional NEW annotation. Proposed replacements: positive regulation of centriole replication |
| GO:1903724 positive regulation of centriole elongation | IMP PMID:27185865 CEP295 interacts with microtubules and is required for centr... | ACCEPT | Summary: CPAP promotes centriole elongation in the tested cellular assembly system. Reason: PMID:27185865 tests CPAP overexpression and its dependence on CEP295 for elongation. This supports the existing positive elongation process at cellular scope; it does not identify CPAP as a universal polymerase or prove direct CPAP–CEP295 binding. Supporting Evidence: PMID:27185865 depletion of CEP295 substantially inhibited CPAP-induced centriole elongation |
| GO:1904951 positive regulation of establishment of protein localization | IMP PMID:27185865 CEP295 interacts with microtubules and is required for centr... | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: CPAP supports recruitment of CEP295 to growing centrioles. Reason: Actual PMID:27185865 CPAP depletion impairs CEP295 recruitment, but the authors did not detect strong CPAP–CEP295 co-IP and propose a possible CEP135-mediated route. Retain the existing positive localization-regulation process without converting it to direct binding or molecular-adaptor activity. |
| GO:1905832 positive regulation of spindle assembly | NAS PMID:17576815 The zebra fish cassiopeia mutant reveals that SIL is require... | UNDECIDED | Summary: The cited SIL/STIL study does not resolve this CPAP-specific spindle-regulatory assertion. Reason: The complete recovered PMID:17576815 main Methods, Results and Discussion assay zebrafish and human SIL/STIL, not CPAP/CENPJ. This is a verified source-specific citation mismatch, not a title-based inference. CPAP aster nucleation in PMID:11003675 and centriole construction make a spindle contribution plausible but do not by themselves establish this precise regulatory relation. Keep the existing assertion unresolved rather than claim the biology is disproven or invent a CPAP experiment in the cited source. |
