This initiative focused on the annotation of Alzheimer's disease-relevant proteins and microRNAs and was funded by several Alzheimer's Research UK grants from January 2017 to date.
Priority Alzheimer's disease-relevant processes
To provide the GO annotations needed to support the dementia research community we have undertaken several focused annotation projects. These processes were prioritised, following discussions with experts in the field and are considered to have important roles in Alzheimer's disease. GO annotations have facilitated the detailed and high-quality annotation of over 840 Alzheimer's disease-relevant human gene products, providing over 6,400 GO annotations, and there are many ways in with the impact of our curation on data analysis and annotation resources can be demonstrated.
- Alzheimer's-disease-relevant gene products prioritised for annotation
- GO annotations resulting from ARUK-funded projects
- GO terms resulting from ARUK-funded projects

- Amyloid-beta binding proteins and receptors, 2017, grant ARUK-NSG2016-13
The goal of this ARUK-funded six-month project (from January 2017) was to annotate a group of proteins and protein complexes, acting as amyloid-beta receptors, based on a review by Jarosz-Griffiths et al. (2016, PMID: 26719327).
The table below lists the prioritised UniProt and Complex Portal identifiers of the human amyloid-beta receptors annotated using GO. The two Complex Portal identifiers include EBI-2568294 and EBI-9685439. By July 2017 this project had resulted in 1387 annotations associated with 115 gene products. Of these 1013 annotations were associated with 95 human gene products (10 of the gene products were complexes).

The goal of this ARUK-funded project was to capture biological information about microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT gene) and its interacting partners. The tau binding partners were selected from a review by Guo, Noble and Hanger (2017) (Table 1 in PMID: 28386764), as well as several additional novel candidates identified by searching recent literature and dementia news. The table below lists the proteins prioritised for annotation as a part of this project.

The goal of this project is to annotate the microRNAs (miRNAs) that regulated the expression of the proteins with a role in dementia-relevant microglial processes (see list below). Over 100 miRNAs have been annotated as part of this project, including hsa-miR-520b-3p, which we have annotated as regulating the expression of C3 and as positive regulation of complement activation, alternative pathway (see screenshot below). In addition, we have developed very specific guidelines (Huntley et al., 2016) to ensure consistent annotation of miRNAS which we apply during the curation of these RNA.
- miRNAs annotated available at the QuickGO site, within section 'H'
- miRNA GO annotations available at the QuickGO site

Regulation of Interleukins by miRNAs, 2019-2020
The goal of this project is to annotate microRNAs (miRNAs) that regulate the expression of interleukins with a role in Alzheimer’s-relevant processes. In order to achieve this goal, there are two major objectives: (1) generating a priority list of interleukins and (2) identifying their regulatory miRNAs. The interleukins are listed below, whereas miRNAs are identified on a target-by-target basis, throughout the duration of project, according to specific guidelines developed by Huntley et al., 2016 (PMID:26917558). This project is funded from Functional Gene Annotation group’s discretionary funds.

- Alzheimer’s Disease Susceptibility Loci, 2020, grant ARUK-NAS2017A-1
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) on Alzheimer’s disease have identified several loci associated with increased or reduced risk to AD. A number of these variants are located within or near genes known to be involved in specific biological pathways.
The goal of this project is to annotate the protein products formed from these genes, starting with the proteins that have the least number of annotations associated with them. These proteins were described in Carmona et al. (2018) (Table 26.1), Sims et al. (2017), Salih et al. (2019), Schwartzentruber et al. (2021) and Open Targets. This list may be subject to modifications throughout the project.
