Gene Description

DPM1 is the catalytic subunit of the dolichol-phosphate mannose (Dol-P-Man) synthase complex (DPM1/DPM2/DPM3). It transfers mannose from GDP-mannose onto dolichyl phosphate to form dolichyl-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man) at the endoplasmic reticulum membrane (EC 2.4.1.83). Dol-P-Man is the lipid-linked mannosyl donor used for the lumenal mannose additions to the N-glycan precursor, for glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor synthesis, and for protein O-mannosylation and C-mannosylation. Unlike the yeast enzyme, human DPM1 lacks its own membrane-spanning domain and is tethered to the ER membrane by DPM3 (via a DPM3 C-terminal coiled-coil) and stabilized by DPM2, which also enhances catalytic activity. DPM1 is a glycosyltransferase family 2 enzyme that binds GDP-mannose and a divalent metal cation. Loss-of-function variants cause DPM1-congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG type Ie), which can present with dystroglycanopathy-type congenital muscular dystrophy.

Summary: Phylogenetic (IBA) annotation placing DPM1 activity at the ER membrane, consistent with the experimentally established ER-membrane localization of the DPM synthase complex.
Reason: DPM1 catalytic activity occurs at the cytosolic face of the ER membrane; DPM1 is tethered there by DPM3. This is the correct site of action.

Summary: Phylogenetic annotation linking DPM1 to synthesis of the dolichol-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) N-glycan precursor. Dol-P-Man produced by DPM1 donates the lumenal mannose additions (ALG3/ALG9/ALG12) that extend the LLO precursor, so DPM1 acts upstream of and within this process.
Reason: The Dol-P-Man made by DPM1 supplies the mannosyl residues added to the dolichol-linked oligosaccharide precursor in the ER lumen; a well-supported biological role.

Summary: Phylogenetic annotation of the core catalytic molecular function of DPM1 transferring mannose from GDP-mannose to dolichyl phosphate. This is the exact current GOA molecular-function term and the defining activity of the protein.
Reason: DPM1 is the catalytic subunit of DPM synthase; the dolichyl-phosphate beta-D-mannosyltransferase activity (EC 2.4.1.83, RHEA:21184) is directly demonstrated and conserved across orthologs.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: ARBA electronic annotation linking DPM1 to GPI anchor biosynthesis. Dol-P-Man produced by DPM1 donates the three mannose residues of the GPI anchor core, so DPM1 acts upstream of this pathway.
Reason: This is a downstream pathway that depends on the Dol-P-Man mannosyl donor supplied by DPM1, not the enzyme's direct molecular function. Real but not the core function; DPM1 provides the substrate rather than acting in the GPI-mannosylation steps itself.

Summary: ARBA electronic annotation to dolichyl monophosphate biosynthetic process. DPM1 consumes dolichyl phosphate (Dol-P) as a substrate and produces Dol-P-Man; it is part of the broader dolichyl-phosphate/mannose metabolic pathway.
Reason: DPM1 acts on dolichyl phosphate metabolism as the mannosyltransferase that converts Dol-P to Dol-P-Man; a broader process term that is compatible with the enzyme's role, retained but less specific than dolichol phosphate mannose biosynthetic process (GO:0180047).

description: DPM1 is the catalytic subunit of the dolichol-phosphate mannose (Dol-P-Man)
  synthase complex (DPM1/DPM2/DPM3). It transfers mannose from GDP-mannose onto dolichyl
  phosphate to form dolichyl-phosphate-mannose (Dol-P-Man) at the endoplasmic reticulum
  membrane (EC 2.4.1.83). Dol-P-Man is the lipid-linked mannosyl donor used for the
  lumenal mannose additions to the N-glycan precursor, for glycosylphosphatidylinositol
  (GPI) anchor synthesis, and for protein O-mannosylation and C-mannosylation. Unlike
  the yeast enzyme, human DPM1 lacks its own membrane-spanning domain and is tethered
  to the ER membrane by DPM3 (via a DPM3 C-terminal coiled-coil) and stabilized by
  DPM2, which also enhances catalytic activity. DPM1 is a glycosyltransferase family
  2 enzyme that binds GDP-mannose and a divalent metal cation. Loss-of-function variants
  cause DPM1-congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG type Ie), which can present
  with dystroglycanopathy-type congenital muscular dystrophy.

      ER-membrane localization of this integral ER glycosyltransferase.
    action: REMOVE
    reason: Spurious localization from a bulk sperm-nucleus proteomics dataset (co-purifying
      contaminant); DPM1 is an ER-membrane enzyme with no evidence of a nuclear function.
      This is a demonstrably wrong location from an untargeted HDA screen, not an experimental
      functional annotation.
