Gene Description

Dihydropyrimidinase-related protein 4 (DPYSL4/CRMP3), a cytoplasmic CRMP-family protein involved in class-3 semaphorin signaling and cytoskeletal remodeling during neuronal development. A catalytically dead member of the metallo-dependent hydrolase (dihydropyrimidinase) superfamily, it lacks the conserved metal-cofactor residues and has no dihydropyrimidinase activity. It binds filamin, forms homo- and hetero-tetramers with other CRMPs, and contributes to neurite outgrowth and dendritic development.

Summary: cytosol: a core subcellular location for DPYSL4 (cytoplasmic/cytoskeletal CRMP).
Reason: Correct core localization for a cytoskeleton-associated cytoplasmic protein.

IBA NOT
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: NOT: DPYSL4 is not involved in pyrimidine nucleobase catabolism (the process counterpart of the absent dihydropyrimidinase activity).

Summary: Positive 'hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, in cyclic amides' propagated from the metallo-hydrolase fold signature (IBA). DPYSL4 lacks the catalytic metal site, and the curated dihydropyrimidinase activity is itself NOT-ed.
Reason: Domain/phylogenetic over-propagation refutable on biological grounds: the metal-cofactor-binding residues are absent (UniProt CAUTION), so no metallo-hydrolase activity is supported; the real function is a non-catalytic cytoskeletal regulator. Same basis as the DPYSL5 review.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: What is the role of CRMP3 (DPYSL4) and its filamin interaction in dendritic/neurite development, and how does it differ functionally from the other CRMPs within hetero-tetramers?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Test dendrite/neurite outgrowth with wild-type vs filamin-binding-deficient DPYSL4 and in DPYSL4-depleted neurons.

Hypothesis: DPYSL4 contributes to dendritic development via filamin-dependent cytoskeletal coupling.
