Nidogen-1 (also called entactin) is a critical basement membrane glycoprotein that functions as an architectural linker protein bridging the laminin and collagen IV networks. The 1247 amino acid protein contains three globular domains (G1, G2, G3) connected by rod-like segments with EGF-like repeats. The G2 domain binds with high affinity to the laminin gamma-1 chain, while the G3 domain binds collagen IV. Nidogen-1 also binds perlecan and fibulins, serving as a central organizing element in basement membrane assembly. This bridging function is essential for basement membrane structural integrity across diverse tissues including skin, muscle, and nervous system. The protein is ubiquitously expressed in basement membranes throughout the body and represents one of the core structural constituents of the basement membrane extracellular matrix.

IEA
GO_REF:0000002 |
ACCEPT |
Summary: Nidogen-1 contains multiple calcium-binding EGF-like domains in its central rod region, as indicated by InterPro domain annotations. UniProt features annotate calcium-binding EGF-like domains at positions 710-751 and 802-840.
Reason: This is a legitimate molecular function supported by domain architecture. Nidogen-1 contains calcium-binding EGF-like repeats in the rod domain connecting G2 and G3 globules, as confirmed by InterPro annotations and UniProt features. PMID:2119632 notes "The molecule binds calcium ions" as one of nidogen's properties. While not the core bridging function, calcium binding may play a role in maintaining structural integrity.

Summary: Nidogen-1 is a secreted protein localized to the extracellular space, specifically in basement membranes. This is an accurate but overly general localization term.
Reason: This annotation is correct but the more specific terms basement membrane (GO:0005604) and extracellular matrix (GO:0031012) are preferable. However, as a parent term this remains valid and useful for broad queries. UniProt clearly states secreted extracellular space location.

Summary: Nidogen-1 is a ubiquitous and integral component of basement membranes. This is THE primary localization for this protein.
Reason: This is absolutely correct and represents the core localization of nidogen-1. Basement membrane localization is fundamental to nidogen-1's function as a structural linker. UniProt annotation explicitly states "Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane" and emphasizes nidogen-1 is "widely distributed in basement membranes."

KEEP AS NON CORE |
Summary: Cell adhesion is a consequence of basement membrane organization and ECM structural function. This is a plausible but indirect annotation.
Reason: While nidogen-1 supports cell adhesion indirectly by organizing the basement membrane ECM to which cells adhere, this is not its direct molecular function. PMID:2119632 mentions "supports cell adhesion" and PMID:3794389 examines "Effect of basement membrane entactin on epidermal cell attachment and growth," but the primary function is ECM structural organization. The cell adhesion effects are secondary to the structural role. This annotation is acceptable but represents a downstream consequence rather than core function.

Summary: Cell-matrix adhesion is supported by nidogen-1's role in organizing the basement membrane matrix that mediates cell-ECM interactions.
Reason: Similar to cell adhesion (GO:0007155), this represents a consequence of nidogen-1's structural role rather than its direct function. The InterPro NIDO domain (IPR003886) is associated with cell-matrix interactions, but nidogen-1's primary role is as a structural bridge between laminin and collagen IV networks. Cell-matrix adhesion is mediated by the organized basement membrane that nidogen-1 helps assemble. Keep as non-core.

Summary: Laminin binding via the G2 domain is one of THE core molecular functions of nidogen-1. High-affinity binding to laminin gamma-1 chain is critical for basement membrane assembly.
Reason: This is absolutely a core molecular function. The G2 domain of nidogen-1 binds with high affinity to the laminin gamma-1 chain. PMID:22952693 extensively characterizes nidogen-1 binding to laminin and shows cathepsin S cleavage impairs this interaction. PMID:23948589 structural study confirms "the interaction is mediated solely by the C-terminal domains" for laminin-nidogen complex. UniProt function states nidogen-1 is "tightly associated with laminin." This is essential for the bridging function.

Summary: Basement membrane organization is THE core biological process for nidogen-1. It serves as the central organizing element linking laminin and collagen IV networks.
Reason: This is the primary biological process annotation for nidogen-1. PMID:2119632 states "its major function may be the assembly of the basement membrane" and describes nidogen as serving "as a bridge between the two most abundant molecules in the basement membrane." PMID:22952693 describes nidogens as playing "a central role in the supramolecular organization of the basal laminae in tissues such as skin, muscle, lung and the nervous system."

IEA
GO_REF:0000120 |

Summary: Collagen IV binding via the G3 domain is one of THE core molecular functions of nidogen-1, essential for bridging laminin to collagen IV networks.
Reason: This is absolutely a core molecular function. The G3 domain binds collagen IV. PMID:2119632 states "This same region is also believed to be responsible for the attachment of entactin to type IV collagen at approximately 80 nm from its carboxyl noncollagenous end." PMID:22952693 demonstrates cathepsin cleavage within G3 impairs collagen binding. UniProt function notes nidogen "Also binds to collagen IV." This collagen IV binding is the other half of nidogen-1's critical bridging function.

Summary: Nidogen-1 is an integral structural component of the extracellular matrix, specifically the basement membrane ECM.
Reason: This is accurate and appropriate. Basement membrane (GO:0005604) is a child term of extracellular matrix (GO:0031012), so this parent term is valid. Nidogen-1 is one of the major ECM proteins. UniProt emphasizes ECM localization, and PMID:22952693 describes nidogen's role in "extracellular matrix (ECM)" turnover and organization. This is a good general ECM annotation.

Summary: Laminin-1 (laminin-111, alpha1beta1gamma1) binding is a specific instance of nidogen-1's laminin binding activity. The binding is to the gamma-1 chain shared across multiple laminin isoforms.
Reason: This is a more specific child term of laminin binding (GO:0043236). Nidogen-1 binds to the gamma-1 chain of laminins, including laminin-1 (laminin-111). PMID:22952693 notes that nidogen-1 "is more resistant to degradation when complexed with laminin-111 (alpha1beta1gamma1) (the binding site for nidogens locates in gamma 1 chain)." Since the binding site is on the gamma-1 chain, nidogen-1 can bind various laminins containing gamma-1. This specific annotation to laminin-1 is valid.

Summary: Nidogen-1 binds multiple ECM components including laminin, collagen IV, and perlecan. This is a valid general ECM binding annotation.
Reason: This parent term appropriately captures nidogen-1's multiple ECM binding activities. It binds laminin (GO:0043236), collagen IV (GO:0005518), and perlecan (GO:0043394). PMID:22952693 describes nidogen-1 as having "several binding sites (localized to its G2 and G3 domains) for other BM components." UniProt states it "Also binds to collagen IV and perlecan."

Summary: Cell periphery is an overly general and imprecise localization for nidogen-1, which is specifically secreted into the extracellular space.
Reason: This annotation is misleading. GO:0071944 (cell periphery) includes both plasma membrane and cell wall, which are not appropriate for nidogen-1. Nidogen-1 is a secreted protein that localizes to the extracellular basement membrane, not to cellular membranes or cell periphery structures. While the basement membrane is adjacent to cells, "cell periphery" suggests association with the cell surface itself rather than the extracellular space. The more specific terms basement membrane (GO:0005604) and extracellular matrix (GO:0031012) are far more appropriate. This appears to be an overly broad IEA annotation that should be removed.

description: Nidogen-1 (also called entactin) is a critical basement membrane glycoprotein
that functions as an architectural linker protein bridging the laminin and collagen
IV networks. The 1247 amino acid protein contains three globular domains (G1, G2,
G3) connected by rod-like segments with EGF-like repeats. The G2 domain binds with
high affinity to the laminin gamma-1 chain, while the G3 domain binds collagen IV.
Nidogen-1 also binds perlecan and fibulins, serving as a central organizing element
in basement membrane assembly. This bridging function is essential for basement membrane
structural integrity across diverse tissues including skin, muscle, and nervous system.
The protein is ubiquitously expressed in basement membranes throughout the body and
represents one of the core structural constituents of the basement membrane extracellular
matrix.

reason: This annotation is misleading. GO:0071944 (cell periphery) includes both
plasma membrane and cell wall, which are not appropriate for nidogen-1. Nidogen-1
is a secreted protein that localizes to the extracellular basement membrane,
not to cellular membranes or cell periphery structures. While the basement membrane
is adjacent to cells, "cell periphery" suggests association with the cell surface
itself rather than the extracellular space. The more specific terms basement

summary: Detection of nidogen-1 in extracellular exosomes from urine proteomics.
Non-core peripheral localization.
action: KEEP_AS_NON_CORE
reason: While nidogen-1 can be detected in exosome preparations, this is not a
primary or functional localization. Exosomes may contain basement membrane fragments
or contamination from ECM. The core localization is basement membrane. Mark
as non-core.

Core binding function.
action: ACCEPT
reason: This is IPI (inferred from physical interaction) evidence specifically
showing nidogen-1 binds proteoglycans including perlecan (UniProtKB:Q05793).
Perlecan binding is part of nidogen-1's bridging function in basement membranes.
