ARBA00026572 nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process (GO:0006139)

View original ARBA rule on UniProt

Type: ARBA
Status: IN_PROGRESS
Action: UNDECIDED

Description

Assigns GO:0006139 nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process through 773 alternative condition sets of InterPro, PANTHER and CATH FunFam signatures, some with a taxon condition.

Review Summary

None of the 773 live condition sets has been examined, and no wrongly annotated protein has been identified. GO:0006139 is a high-level term; a set that selects DNA repair proteins, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases or nucleotide biosynthesis enzymes would be annotated correctly but generally. The review is open.

Action Rationale

There is no evidence in hand that any condition set gives a false annotation. That the term is general is not a reason to deprecate.

  notes: No condition set examined. GO:0006281 DNA repair, GO:0006418 tRNA aminoacylation for protein
    translation and GO:0009165 nucleotide biosynthetic process all have GO:0006139 among their ancestors
    (QuickGO).
corrections:
- date: '2026-11-10'
  withdrawn_claim: The rule should be deprecated because GO:0006139 is too broad; DNA repair, tRNA aminoacylation
    and nucleotide biosynthesis terms should be used instead.
  correction: The proposed terms are descendants of GO:0006139, so the rule's annotation would be true
    for those proteins. A true general term is not grounds for removal.
  error_type: GENERAL_IS_NOT_WRONG
  evidence:
  - QuickGO ancestors of GO:0006281, GO:0006418 and GO:0009165 each include GO:0006139
- date: '2026-11-10'
  withdrawn_claim: The literature contradicts the rule.
  correction: The only source cited was the reviewer's own manual notes file. No publication was cited.
  error_type: UNSUPPORTED_SOURCE
  evidence:
  - Old literature_support cited only ARBA00026572-deep-research-manual.md
- date: '2026-11-10'
  withdrawn_claim: Sampling shows heterogeneous functional classes; taxonomic restrictions are arbitrary.
  correction: The review recorded no condition sets, so neither statement can be checked.
  error_type: UNEXAMINED_RULE
  evidence:
  - 'Old review: rule.condition_sets empty, protein counts 0'
- date: '2026-11-10'
  withdrawn_claim: Because GO:0006139 is a universal process, taxon restrictions on the condition sets
    are inappropriate.
  correction: A taxon condition narrows where a signature is trusted; it says nothing about how widespread
    the process is.
  error_type: TAXON_MISREAD
  evidence:
  - 'Live rule: 773 condition sets, each a conjunction (rest.uniprot.org/arba/ARBA00026572, 2026-11-09)'
- date: '2026-11-10'
  withdrawn_claim: 781 condition sets make the rule unanalyzable and it should be rebuilt with at most
    12 sets per rule.
  correction: The number of alternative sets is not evidence that any of them is wrong.
  error_type: SIZE_AS_EVIDENCE
  evidence:
  - 'src/ai_gene_review/etl/rule_analysis.py: max_condition_sets: int = 12 (default of the overlap-analysis
    tool)'
