Gene Description

NTPase encodes an intracellular NTPDase6-family nucleoside diphosphate phosphohydrolase. The 461-residue membrane-associated product hydrolyzes GDP, UDP and IDP efficiently and is localized predominantly to the endoplasmic reticulum in transfected Drosophila S2 cells. Its specificity and lumen-facing topology are consistent with nucleotide turnover associated with glycoprotein processing, rather than a general cell-surface ATP apyrase.

ACCEPT
Summary: GDP is a directly demonstrated substrate.
Reason: The cloned Drosophila enzyme hydrolyzes GDP alongside UDP and IDP. This is substrate-resolved enzymology and supports nucleoside diphosphate hydrolysis.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:19467631
The enzyme hydrolyzed UDP, GDP, and IDP equally well whereas other NDP and NTP were poor substrates.

ACCEPT
Summary: GDP is a directly demonstrated substrate.
Reason: The cloned Drosophila enzyme hydrolyzes GDP alongside UDP and IDP. This is substrate-resolved enzymology and supports nucleoside diphosphate hydrolysis.

GO:0005576 extracellular region
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
UNDECIDED
Summary: Extracellular localization is not established for this input product.
Reason: The cloned fly NTPDase6 is predominantly ER-localized and becomes accessible after detergent. A distinct secreted isoform could explain a locus-level annotation, but the present 461-residue membrane product is not directly shown to be secreted.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:19467631
Fluorescence microscopy revealed that the protein was located primarily in the ER.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Cytoplasm is a broad location compatible with the ER compartment.
Reason: The primary localization is ER-associated rather than freely cytosolic. Cytoplasm includes extranuclear organelles, so this term is broad rather than evidence for a soluble cytosolic enzyme.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:19467631
Fluorescence microscopy revealed that the protein was located primarily in the ER.
GO:0005794 Golgi apparatus
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
UNDECIDED
Summary: Golgi residence requires isoform- and compartment-specific support.
Reason: The accessible direct microscopy identifies predominantly ER-localized protein. A possible Golgi pool is not refuted, but glycoprotein-processing function alone does not demonstrate Golgi residence.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:19467631
Fluorescence microscopy revealed that the protein was located primarily in the ER.
GO:0005886 plasma membrane
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
UNDECIDED
Summary: The exact product is not established as a cell-surface ectoenzyme.
Reason: Detergent dependence and ER microscopy support an intracellular NTPDase6. Family membership includes surface NTPDases, so surface trafficking should not be assumed for this protein.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:19467631
Fluorescence microscopy revealed that the protein was located primarily in the ER.
GO:0016787 hydrolase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
MODIFY
Summary: Nucleoside diphosphate hydrolysis specifies the generic hydrolase term.
Reason: GDP/UDP/IDP substrate tests support nucleoside diphosphate phosphatase activity rather than an undifferentiated hydrolase label.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:19467631
The enzyme hydrolyzed UDP, GDP, and IDP equally well whereas other NDP and NTP were poor substrates.
GO:0017110 nucleoside diphosphate phosphatase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000003
ACCEPT
Summary: The enzyme is a nucleoside diphosphate phosphohydrolase.
Reason: Direct assays of the cloned fly protein establish GDP, UDP and IDP turnover with poor turnover of other NDPs and NTPs. This supports a diphosphatase interpretation more precisely than the historical apyrase name.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:19467631
The enzyme hydrolyzed UDP, GDP, and IDP equally well whereas other NDP and NTP were poor substrates.
GO:0036384 CDP phosphatase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: CDP is not a preferred substrate of the characterized enzyme.
Reason: The primary substrate comparison identifies GDP, UDP and IDP as efficient substrates and other NDP/NTP as poor substrates. A weak in-vitro side reaction should not be presented as the core physiological specificity.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:19467631
The enzyme hydrolyzed UDP, GDP, and IDP equally well whereas other NDP and NTP were poor substrates.

ACCEPT
Summary: UDP hydrolysis is directly demonstrated.
Reason: UDPase activity is unmasked by detergent in transfected S2 cells, consistent with an intracellular membrane enzyme whose catalytic domain faces the secretory-pathway lumen.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:19467631
The enzyme hydrolyzed UDP, GDP, and IDP equally well whereas other NDP and NTP were poor substrates.

GO:1990003 IDP phosphatase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
ACCEPT
Summary: IDP hydrolysis is supported by direct substrate comparison.
Reason: The enzyme hydrolyzes IDP as well as GDP and UDP, making the IDP term correct despite its electronic provenance.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:19467631
The enzyme hydrolyzed UDP, GDP, and IDP equally well whereas other NDP and NTP were poor substrates.
