Assigns the UniProt keyword Protease (KW-0645) through 1010 alternative condition sets. About half are single InterPro entries or PANTHER families; the rest are conjunctions of two or three conditions, some with a taxon.
Condition-set counts describe the sets recorded in this review, which may omit the full rule.
No domain overlap table is shown: the cached overlap analysis for this version of the review is not available.
Run just analyze-rule ARBA00022670 and re-render to add it.
The first 10 of the 1010 live condition sets were examined. They select ClpP, HslV, leucyl aminopeptidase, peptidase M48 and signal peptidase II families, and every reviewed match carries the Protease keyword (5150 of 5150, summed over sets). The other 1000 sets were not examined.
The rule was sampled, not examined set by set, so no verdict is given. The sampled sets are sound, which removes the grounds of the earlier verdict but does not establish that every set is right. The counts are from Swiss-Prot, which is also what ARBA learns its rules from, so they show the condition sets are coherent rather than giving an independent error rate for unreviewed entries.

UniProtKB release 2026_04, reviewed entries matching a set and carrying KW-0645: set 1, Q16740
(human CLPP) and P0A6G7 (Escherichia coli clpP); set 4, P38624 (Saccharomyces cerevisiae PRE3).
Per-set counts are in the condition set notes.
corrections:
- date: '2026-11-10'
withdrawn_claim: >-
The rule is a single condition set of 502 InterPro domains joined by OR, so any protein with any
protease-related domain is annotated.
correction: >-
The rule is a list of alternative condition sets, and the conditions inside a set are joined by
AND. The live rule has 1010 sets; 497 require two or three conditions together.

UniProt ARBA API, ARBA00022670, modified 2026-07-18, retrieved 2026-11-09: 1010 condition sets
(513 with one condition, 309 with two, 188 with three); every condition has a single value.
- date: '2026-11-10'
withdrawn_claim: The rule has no taxonomic restrictions.
correction: 236 of the 1010 live condition sets include a taxon condition.
error_type: TAXON_MISREAD
evidence:

UniProt ARBA API, ARBA00022670: 236 condition sets contain a condition of type taxon, for example
set 10 (taxon Bacteria).
- date: '2026-11-10'
withdrawn_claim: >-
Treating pepsin, trypsin and other mechanistically distinct proteases the same is a design flaw,
and the classification literature contradicts the rule.
correction: >-
All of these enzymes are proteases, which is all the keyword says. That proteases fall into mechanistic
classes does not make the keyword wrong for any of them. The source given for the contradiction
was an unattributed sentence labelled as a database, not a retrievable publication.
error_type: GENERAL_IS_NOT_WRONG
evidence:
- >-
UniProtKB release 2026_04: in the ten sets examined every reviewed match carries keyword KW-0645;
per-set counts are in the condition set notes.
- date: '2026-11-10'
withdrawn_claim: >-
Inactive zymogens and other non-catalytic proteins with protease domains would be annotated, giving
massive false positives across 2.47 million proteins.
correction: >-
No falsely annotated protein was named and no rate was measured. Zymogens are protease precursors
and carry the Protease keyword in Swiss-Prot.
error_type: UNEXAMINED_RULE
evidence:
- The old file recorded no condition sets and no matched entries.
- date: '2026-11-10'
withdrawn_claim: The rule is deficient because it assigns a keyword and not GO terms.
correction: The consequent is a UniProt keyword by design.
error_type: OTHER
evidence:
