Gene Description

Ang2 encodes mouse angiogenin-related protein (Angrp), a secreted RNase A family paralog of canonical mouse/human angiogenin. The directly supported function is RNA/tRNA cleavage activity. Angrp is a divergent paralog rather than a mouse counterpart of angiogenin: it is not angiogenic, and its ribonucleolytic activity is greater than that of angiogenin, so the angiogenic, signaling, stress-response and immune biology of human ANG does not carry over to it. The name is also a source of confusion, being shared with the unrelated angiopoietin-2 and resembling that of angiotensin II.

GO:0019731 antibacterial humoral response
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Angiogenin-subfamily antibacterial transfer is defensible for mouse Ang2 but is not a core function.
Reason: The IBD behind this IBA sits at PANTHER node PTN000153659 and is seeded by human angiogenin (UniProtKB:P03950) together with MGI:MGI:2656551, i.e. angiogenin-subfamily members that are among the closest relatives of Ang2 rather than out-of-family donors, and mouse Ang2 lies inside that clade. Ang2/Angrp remains a secreted, catalytically active RNase (PMID:8633065, PMID:23170778) and no target-specific evidence of loss of antimicrobial function exists, so paralog proximity alone is triage evidence rather than grounds for removal. Kept as non-core because there is no direct mouse Ang2 antibacterial experiment; the same node's rows on human ANG are also kept as non-core.

Theria-level node in PTHR11437; the local PAINT cache records the IBD for GO:0019731 here, seeded by UniProtKB:P03950 and MGI:MGI:2656551. Mouse Ang2 descends from this node, so the node placement itself is not in dispute.

GO:0045087 innate immune response
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Angiogenin-subfamily innate-immune transfer is defensible for mouse Ang2 but is not a core function.
Reason: The IBD for this term at PANTHER node PTN000153659 is seeded by human angiogenin (UniProtKB:P03950), an angiogenin-subfamily member rather than an out-of-family donor, and mouse Ang2 descends from that node. Mouse Ang2/Angrp is a secreted RNase that retains full catalytic activity (PMID:8633065, PMID:23170778), and there is no evidence specific to the mouse protein that it has lost an immune effector role, so the family inference cannot be refuted on paralog-proximity grounds alone. Kept as non-core: no direct mouse Ang2 immune experiment supports it, and this is a broad process term rather than a core Ang2 function.

GO:0050830 defense response to Gram-positive bacterium
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Gram-positive specificity comes from the antimicrobial-RNase branch of the family, not from the angiogenin subfamily that contains Ang2.
Reason: This row propagates from the broader node PANTHER:PTN008517922. Of the ten IBD seeds, seven could be identified here, by two different routes. Six are UniProt accessions and so are direct keys in PTHR11437-entries.csv. The remaining one, MGI:MGI:1925666, is not a key in that accession-keyed file at all; it was corroborated through the UniProt cross-reference for this MGI id, and it is that accession (Q9D244) which entries.csv places. The seven split as follows. Five sit in the antimicrobial-RNase branch of the RNase A family: UniProtKB:P12724 RNASE3 (SF3), UniProtKB:Q93091 RNASE6 (SF4), UniProtKB:Q9H1E1 RNASE7 (SF31), UniProtKB:Q8TDE3 RNASE8 (SF25) and MGI:MGI:1925666, mouse Rnase6 (Q9D244, SF4). One is angiogenin itself, UniProtKB:P03950 (SF60). The seventh, chicken UniProtKB:P30374, is classified SF10 ANGIOGENIN-RELATED and so belongs to neither group. The remaining three are zebrafish ZFIN ids, cited by identifier with no subfamily asserted: entries.csv is accession-keyed and carries no ZFIN ids, so nothing local resolves them. Generic secreted-RNase antimicrobial biology may transfer to Ang2, so the row is not simply wrong, but the pathogen-class specificity of the term is anchored in experiments on the RNASE3/6/7/8 branch and is not supported for the angiogenin-subfamily mouse protein. That the branch experiments carry the pathogen-class specificity is asserted from external knowledge of RNase A family biology and is NOT corroborable here: no cached Ang2 record mentions RNASE3/6/7/8 or eosinophil biology, the deep-research file's only antimicrobial passage concerns Ang1/Ang4 in colitis and states that it does not address Ang2, and Ang2-bioinformatics/RESULTS.md raises antimicrobial terms only to note that their human source is itself inferred. It is not the only ground for the verdict, however, and the other is local: as the UniProtKB:P03950 source entity below records, the one SF60 seed this review could identify among the node's seeds for this term carries its own GO:0050830 as an IBA on this same node, with no experimental row behind it. That covers P03950 alone rather than the whole transfer: this row's GOA WITH/FROM also carries MGI:MGI:88022, likewise SF60, whose equivalent negative cannot be checked locally because there is no genes/mouse/Ang directory. As far as it reaches, it supports the same over-annotation call together with the RESULTS.md observation just cited, and without recourse to RNase A family knowledge. The row is treated as an over-annotation rather than removed.

Broad PTHR11437 node (no taxon restriction in the local PAINT cache) whose GO:0050830 IBD is seeded across the antimicrobial-RNase branch as well as angiogenin; descent from it does not establish Gram-positive specificity for an angiogenin-subfamily member.

UniProtKB:P03950 · human ANG (angiogenin) SUPPORTS TRANSFER
The only angiogenin-subfamily (PTHR11437:SF60) seed among the IBD members this review could identify; exclusivity is not asserted, since the three zebrafish seeds resolve to no subfamily in this repository. This row's GOA WITH/FROM additionally carries MGI:MGI:88022, mouse Ang, whose UniProt cross-reference (P21570) entries.csv places in SF60 and which this file identifies at the GO:0019731 block above. So the subfamily is represented in both scopes, more widely in the GOA one, and generic secreted antimicrobial RNase biology can reach Ang2 - which is why this row is marked as an over-annotation of pathogen-class specificity rather than removed. Neither SF60 seed brings Gram-positive evidence with it, though the two are checkable to different degrees: human ANG's only GO:0050830 row is itself an IBA on GO_REF:0000033, so its annotation to this term descends from the very node under review with no experimental row behind it, while for MGI:MGI:88022 there is no genes/mouse/Ang directory here, so the same negative cannot be checked locally.

GO:0061844 antimicrobial humoral immune response mediated by antimicrobial peptide
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Angiogenin-subfamily antimicrobial transfer is defensible for mouse Ang2 but is not a core function.
Reason: As for the sibling immune terms, the IBD at PANTHER node PTN000153659 is seeded by human angiogenin (UniProtKB:P03950) within the angiogenin subfamily that contains mouse Ang2, and Ang2/Angrp retains secretion and full ribonucleolytic activity (PMID:8633065, PMID:23170778). No mouse experiment demonstrates or excludes an antimicrobial role, so the transfer is retained as non-core rather than removed on the strength of paralog proximity.

GO:0001525 angiogenesis
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
REMOVE
Summary: Angiogenesis is directly refuted for the mouse Ang2/Angrp protein.
Reason: REMOVE survives the checklist because the objection is target-specific, not merely that the donors are paralogs. The cached PMID:8633065 states verbatim that mouse Ang is potently angiogenic but Angrp is not, even at relatively high doses, and attributes this to an inability to bind cellular receptors (poor conservation of the Ang receptor recognition segment 58-69) rather than to loss of catalysis, since Angrp is if anything the more active ribonuclease. PMID:23170778 independently records that mAng-2 is not angiogenic. The angiogenin-subfamily donors genuinely are angiogenic, so the source annotations are sound and only the transfer to Ang2 fails.

Core Functions

Secreted angiogenin-related RNase with direct biochemical tRNA cleavage activity. Mouse Ang2 retains RNase chemistry but does not share the broad angiogenic/signaling program transferred from canonical human ANG.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:8633065
    Angrp has somewhat greater ribonucleolytic activity toward tRNA and dinucleotide substrates than does Ang.
  • PMID:23170778
    mAng-2 is almost 80% active compared to the human form of the protein
  • file:mouse/Ang2/Ang2-deep-research-falcon.md
    Best-supported annotation for Q64438 is: **secreted RNase A-family paralog with strong in vitro RNase/tRNA-cleaving activity but little or no angiogenic activity**
  • file:mouse/Ang2/Ang2-bioinformatics/RESULTS.md
    `GO:0004540` and `GO:0004549` are the main ISO terms that remain biologically plausible for Ang2

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: What endogenous RNA substrates and tissue contexts define the in vivo function of mouse Ang2 beyond the in vitro tRNA-cleavage assays?

Q: Which human ANG functions truly map to mouse Ang2 versus other murine angiogenin paralogs, and can ISO transfer rules be constrained for this expanded paralog family?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Compare recombinant mouse Ang2, canonical mouse angiogenin, and additional murine angiogenin paralogs in endothelial proliferation, receptor-binding, RNase-inhibitor binding, and cell-uptake assays.

Hypothesis: Mouse Ang2 retains RNase activity but lacks the receptor-binding and angiogenic outputs of canonical angiogenin.

Type: Comparative biochemical and cell-based functional assays

Experiment: Use endogenous tagging or targeted perturbation in tissues that express Ang2 to identify where the protein localizes and which RNAs are cleaved in vivo.

Hypothesis: The physiological role of Ang2 is RNase-centered and more restricted than the transferred human ANG stress and signaling annotations.

Type: Endogenous tagging plus RNA substrate profiling
