Gene Description

DNM1L encodes Drp1, a dynamin-family GTPase motor that divides mitochondria and peroxisomes. A soluble cytosolic pool is recruited to organelle membranes, where Drp1 oligomerization and GTP hydrolysis drive membrane constriction and fission. MFF and the mitochondrial adaptors MIEF1 and MIEF2 regulate recruitment, while peroxisomal division uses overlapping machinery. The protein contains a GTPase domain, a bundle-signalling element, an assembly stalk and a variable region affected by alternative splicing. Its membrane recruitment and assembly are controlled by interacting proteins and post-translational modifications. Beyond constitutive organelle division, Drp1 participates in context-dependent mitochondrial redistribution, apoptotic fragmentation and mitochondrial quality control; particular cellular and splice-product contexts also support microtubule and neuronal vesicle associations. Pathogenic DNM1L variants can disrupt organelle dynamics and cause severe neurological disease or optic atrophy.

MODIFY
Reason: The literal PAINT IBD at PTN002480309 is on the authenticated DNM1L lineage in PTHR11566, with the human target among experimentally grounded descendants. There is no evidence of loss of fission in the target. Direct human Drp1 reconstitution resolves the performed step as mitochondrial membrane fission, a part of mitochondrial fission; refine the inherited process to that step rather than treating the IBA as a pairwise transfer.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Rab-family effector binding does not establish GTPase activation.
Reason: The actual experiments identify Drp1 as an effector preferentially associated with active Rab32-family proteins. They measure cross-linked association, membrane redistribution and mitochondrial morphology, not an increase in Rab-catalyzed GTP hydrolysis caused by Drp1. GO:0005096 requires binding to and increasing a GTPase's activity. The IC inference from small-GTPase and GTP-dependent binding therefore overstates the performed role. The positive binding observations remain supported in their own rows; this is not a claim that every possible Drp1-dependent GTPase-regulatory effect is absent.

Reason: The source explicitly reports that calcineurin normally interacts with Drp1 and dephosphorylates it in the calcium-dependent mitochondrial recruitment response. PPP3CA is a protein phosphatase, so protein phosphatase binding specifies the partner class without assigning phosphatase catalysis to Drp1. The complete abstract and curator assertion are positive; the full original methods were not recovered, so construct-level or purified-affinity claims are not made.

Summary: UBC9 interaction is ubiquitin-like protein conjugating enzyme binding.
Reason: The original human Drp1/UBC9 yeast two-hybrid experiments map UBC9 association to the GTPase and B regions, and the study independently demonstrates Drp1 SUMO conjugation. UBC9 is the SUMO-conjugating E2 enzyme, fitting the ubiquitin-like conjugating-enzyme binding class. This describes substrate-enzyme recognition, not SUMO-conjugating catalysis by Drp1.

Summary: MFF recruits Drp1 and binds it in controlled cellular and in vitro assays.
Reason: The paper detects cross-linked Drp1–MFF association in HeLa cells and with purified Drp1 and MFF lacking its membrane anchor. An assembly-defective Drp1 mutant loses binding and recruitment. The membrane-recruitment context is directly relevant to fission, but generic binding does not add an independent catalytic activity and is retained as non-core under project policy. Engineered MFF-CAAX recruitment does not establish normal plasma-membrane localization of Drp1.

Reason: This source reports FIS1 co-precipitation with Drp1 after cross-linking and mild digitonin extraction, while the interaction is not detected under the stringent SDS condition that retains MFF association. That conditional positive result is not a negative interaction assertion. Independent purified-fragment work supports the pair, while neither study establishes a stable stoichiometric native complex.

RAC3 is a pro-migratory co-activator of ERΞ±.
MODIFY
Summary: DNM1L binds the nuclear receptor ESR1 in orthogonal validation assays.
Reason: Supplementary Table 1 explicitly identifies DNM1L clone BC024590: its in vitro interaction maps to the ERalpha ligand-binding domain and is estradiol dependent, whereas its mammalian two-hybrid interaction is reported as estradiol independent. These are target-specific confirmations beyond the discovery phage screen and support nuclear receptor binding. The detailed transcriptional co-activator and migration experiments concern RAC3; they are not transferred to DNM1L. The historical clone is not assigned to a current DNM1L isoform solely from its name. The publisher supplement was independently recovered and its table columns checked. The detailed purified-protein protocol in the main article is RAC3-specific, so no purified full-length DNM1L protocol or endogenous transcriptional co-activator role is inferred.

The exact MINT records additionally document a human MiD49–Drp1 two-hybrid pair and a cross-linking association in HeLa cells; a separate microscopy record is only colocalization.

MODIFY
Summary: Drp1 engages the RALBP1 mitotic signaling scaffold.
Reason: The original supports a RalA–RALBP1–cyclin B/CDK1–Drp1 assembly in cross-linked mitotic HeLa mitochondrial extracts. Purified RALBP1 increases cyclin B/CDK1 phosphorylation of the Drp1 C-terminal fragment, supporting the partner's scaffold role beyond complex membership alone. Scaffold protein binding is therefore an informative refinement. The cellular association is not a purified full-length binding-affinity measurement, and it does not give Drp1 the scaffold or kinase activity.

Reason: The original combines Drp1 affinity purification from human HD-derived neurons, human and mouse tissue/cell co-immunoprecipitation, and in vitro GST-Drp1 binding to cell-free-produced, FLAG-purified ATAD3A without a cross-linker. ATAD3A is an ATPase, so ATPase binding specifies the partner class without transferring ATP hydrolysis to Drp1. The imported partner identity is retained; Q9NVI7-2 is the current displayed 586-residue ATAD3A product, independently matched to its official FASTA. This does not infer equal binding or activity for all ATAD3A or DNM1L products.

Summary: LRRK2 association specifies protein serine/threonine kinase binding.
Reason: The source supplies a positive spoke-expanded LRRK2–DNM1L co-immunoprecipitation/MS record from human HEK293T cells exposed to alpha-synuclein. It does not itself isolate a binary interface. Independent reciprocal targeted Drp1–LRRK2 co-immunoprecipitation supports the same partner-specific binding class; the source's SERCA/ER-stress mechanism is not transferred to Drp1. LRRK2 is a serine/threonine kinase; the replacement classifies the binding partner and does not assign kinase activity or prove activation by Drp1.

Reason: The microtubule-binding IBD at PTN000170013 is literally present on the authenticated target lineage. The fly dynamin donor has experimentally grounded microtubule association in the isolated MMAP fraction and Table 1 of PMID:11076973. More directly, endogenous human Jurkat Drp1 co-pellets with microtubules and colocalizes with them in PMID:23798729. These findings justify contextual binding, while rat splice-construct results and lack of endogenous HeLa association limit universal isoform claims; no purified human affinity constant is asserted.

This supports a contextual regulatory contribution to mitochondrial turnover. It does not establish a DNM1L autophagy-receptor activity or universal dependence of all mitophagy on Drp1.

GO_REF:0000117
MODIFY
Reason: The current ARBA00089016 branch matches the target signatures and lineage. The specific positive experimental observation is secretion of a protein reporter in the historical CHO assay, so positive regulation of protein secretion is the supported descendant. Later negative results limit generalization but do not erase the earlier measured response; a constitutive secretion core is not asserted.
Propagation Review
Root cause: TERM SCOPING PROBLEM
Failure modes: GRANULARITY MISMATCH

ARBA:ARBA00089016 SUPPORTS TRANSFER
Current branch 8 matches the target signatures and Euarchontoglires lineage; the measured protein-reporter response supplies the narrower secretion term.
Supporting Evidence:
GO:1903578 regulation of ATP metabolic process

GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Reason: The exact mouse donor is grounded in the Python C452F study, which measured an approximately halved myocardial ATP/adenine-nucleotide pool by HPLC and independent assays, while brain and liver were unaffected at the tested age. Retain a tissue-context regulatory consequence of mitochondrial dynamics. This is not ATP synthesis by DNM1L, and the source is not the separate circadian-phosphorylation study cited in the older rationale.
Propagation Review
Root cause: NO FAILURE NON CORE
Sources checked:
UniProtKB:Q8K1M6 SUPPORTS TRANSFER
Mouse Python C452F myocardial ATP measurements ground this term; no ATP-synthesis activity is transferred.

Core Functions

A cytosolic dynamin-related motor that oligomerizes at mitochondrial and peroxisomal membranes. GTP hydrolysis powers membrane constriction and fission, with membrane adaptors recruiting the machinery to division sites.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:23977156
    Amino acid substitutions Q34A, K38A, S39A, T59A, D146A, G149A, K216A and D218A completely abolished GTP hydrolysis.
  • PMID:23530241
    GTP-hydrolysis by Drp1 also increased up to 15-fold in low ionic strength buffer, indicating that self-assembly stimulated GTP hydrolysis
  • PMID:11514614
    cells with mutant Drp1 is a block in mitochondrial division
  • file:human/DNM1L/DNM1L-uniprot.txt
    Mediates membrane fission through oligomerization into membrane-associated tubular structures that wrap around the scission site to constrict and sever the mitochondrial membrane through a GTP hydrolysis-dependent mechanism
  • PMID:12618434
    Disruption of DLP1 function by either RNA interference or overexpressing dominant negative DLP1 mutants causes a dramatic reduction in peroxisome abundance
  • PMID:12499366
    We were able to localize DLP1 in spots on tubular peroxisomes in HepG2 cells.
  • PMID:23921378
    Drp1 ( d ynamin- r elated p rotein 1 ) is recruited to both mitochondrial and peroxisomal membranes to execute fission.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which physiological DNM1L products occupy microtubule, neuronal-vesicle and organelle-membrane pools, and which localization differences reflect alternative splicing rather than expression level or cell type?

Q: How do membrane adaptors and lipid composition couple Drp1 GTP hydrolysis to complete scission in cells, including coordination of mitochondrial inner and outer membranes?

Q: What source-specific DNM1L experiments support the three imported PMID37971521 assertions, and how do they relate to the independently verified PMID38587461 study?

Q: Does the mouse brush-border proteomic observation reflect a conserved human DNM1L pool, and can the original target-specific supplemental record be recovered?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Compare sequence-authenticated natural human DNM1L products at matched endogenous expression using compartment-resolved imaging and orthogonal fractionation, including mitochondrial/peroxisomal membranes and microtubule or neuronal vesicle pools.

Experiment: Combine purified Drp1 and defined organelle adaptors/lipids with time-resolved membrane-scission measurements, then test matched hydrolysis and assembly mutants in cellular rescue experiments.
