Gene Description

ATP11 encodes a mitochondrial matrix assembly factor for the F1 sector of mitochondrial F1FO ATP synthase. Atp11 is not a stoichiometric ATP synthase subunit; it is a dedicated assembly chaperone/stabilizing factor for the unassembled F1 beta subunit Atp2, preventing nonproductive aggregation and promoting formation of the alpha3-beta3 catalytic F1 head. In vitro, Atp11 also displays general holdase activity, suppressing aggregation of a non-client surrogate substrate (reduced insulin) in addition to its natural F1 beta client.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Atp11 binds the unassembled, non-native F1 beta subunit, which is genuine unfolded protein binding but is secondary to its client-specific assembly-chaperone role.
Reason: Binding to the nucleotide-binding domain of unassembled F1 beta is a well-grounded IDA that should be demoted rather than discarded; the companion holdase assay in PMID:12829692 shows the activity extends to a non-client surrogate substrate, so it is not fully captured by GO:0140777. This matches the gene-specific determination recorded in projects/UNFOLDED_PROTEIN_BINDING.md, which lists ATP11 as NON_CORE for unfolded protein binding. GO:0140777 remains the core molecular function.
Supporting Evidence:

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Atp11 suppresses aggregation of reduced insulin, a non-client surrogate substrate, which is genuine unfolded protein binding beyond client-specific F1 stabilization.
Reason: This IDA rests on the canonical holdase assay with a surrogate substrate (reduced insulin) as well as the natural F1 beta client, so it is not captured by GO:0140777 and should be demoted rather than replaced. This matches the gene-specific determination recorded in projects/UNFOLDED_PROTEIN_BINDING.md, which lists ATP11 as NON_CORE for unfolded protein binding. The core function remains client-specific stabilization of the F1 assembly intermediate.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:12829692
Atp11p yields a subfragment of the protein (called Atp11pTRNC) that retains...molecular chaperone function...the natural substrate (F1 beta).

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Should the experimental GO:0051082 annotations for ATP11 be retained alongside GO:0140777 (as done here, because the in vitro holdase activity extends to a non-client surrogate substrate), or replaced by GO:0140777 on the grounds that the physiological activity is confined to the F1 beta client?
