CLPX

- PN placement:
Mitochondrial proteostasis|Organelle-specific protein degradation|Matrix protease; PN-node mapping:[group] Matrix protease→mappedGO:0005759 mitochondrial matrix (already_in_goa_exact);[class] Organelle-specific protein degradation→mappedGO:0035694 mitochondrial protein catabolic process (more_specific_than_existing_goa); branch unmapped. - Consistency: Consistent on the core. Notes, YAML, and PN agree CLPX is the AAA+ unfoldase subunit of the matrix ClpXP protease (matrix localization, protein catabolism). Both projected GO terms (GO:0005759, GO:0035694) are verified real. One nuance: GO:0035694's GO definition is framed around an intramitochondrial lysosome-like degradation organelle, which is a narrower/atypical concept than ClpXP-mediated soluble-matrix proteolysis; the review instead uses GO:0030163 protein catabolic process + GO:0006508 proteolysis (the GOA term is the non-mitochondrial GO:0030163 IDA).
- PN story / NEW pressure: PN's degradation story is already well captured (matrix + protein catabolism). The review's distinctive, well-supported addition is the CLPP-independent chaperone role: GO:0006783 heme biosynthetic process via ALAS activation (action NEW, PMID:25957689, PMID:28874591, EPP2 disease). The PN node does NOT surface this heme/ALAS axis — a PN-side gap rather than a review gap.
- Mapping strategy: Largely sound, but the
[class]projection to GO:0035694 is questionable: its GO definition does not match ClpXP matrix proteolysis well, and the existing GOA term is the broader GO:0030163. Prefer mapping the class to GO:0030163 protein catabolic process (or qualify GO:0035694) to avoid asserting a process the term's definition does not support. - Evidence alignment: No PN reference titles were listed for this row, so no title-level overlap to compare; the review is densely cited (PMID:11923310, 16115876, 22710082, 25957689, 28874591). No conflict.
- Verdict: Consistent; degradation captured. PN mapping over-specifies the catabolic process (GO:0035694 definitional mismatch) and omits the heme/ALAS chaperone role.
Recommended edits: [MAP] Reconsider [class] projection GO:0035694 → use GO:0030163 protein catabolic process (matches GOA + ClpXP biology; GO:0035694's definition is lysosome-like-organelle specific). [MAP] Optionally extend the PN node to reflect CLPX's GO:0006783 heme biosynthesis chaperone role.
