Gene Description

Dihydropyrimidinase-related protein 5 (DPYSL5; also CRMP5, CRAM, DRP-5, ULIP-6), a brain-enriched cytoplasmic member of the collapsin response mediator protein (CRMP) / dihydropyrimidinase-related family. Although it is ~57% identical to dihydropyrimidinase and belongs to the metallo-dependent hydrolase (amidohydrolase) superfamily, DPYSL5 lacks the conserved metal-cofactor-binding residues required for catalysis and has no dihydropyrimidinase / amidohydrolase activity - it is a catalytically dead (pseudoenzyme) family member. Its function is as a cytoskeleton-associated regulator of neuronal morphogenesis: it negatively regulates dendrite/neurite outgrowth and is most highly expressed in fetal and neonatal brain, where it is up-regulated during neuronal differentiation. DPYSL5 forms homotetramers and heterotetramers with other CRMP-family proteins (notably DPYSL2/CRMP2) and associates with CRMP3 and protein-tyrosine kinases, acting within the semaphorin/collapsin growth-cone signalling system. Loss-of-function and dominant missense variants cause a neurodevelopmental disorder featuring agenesis of the corpus callosum and cerebellar abnormalities.

Summary: DPYSL5/CRMP5 is a cytosolic protein (UniProt: Cytoplasm). is_active_in cytosol by phylogenetic inference is consistent with the CRMP family and with its role as a cytoskeleton-associated regulator.
Reason: Correct localization. CRMPs are soluble cytoplasmic proteins; UniProt records DPYSL5 as cytoplasmic.

IBA NOT
GO_REF:0000033

Summary: This is a NOT (negated) annotation: DPYSL5 does NOT enable dihydropyrimidinase activity. Although DPYSL5 belongs to the metallo-dependent hydrolase (dihydropyrimidinase/amidohydrolase) superfamily and is ~57% identical to dihydropyrimidinase, it lacks the conserved metal-cofactor-binding residues required for catalysis (UniProt CAUTION).
Reason: The negation is correct and important. DPYSL5 is a catalytically dead family member; the curated NOT|enables faithfully encodes the loss of activity flagged by the UniProt CAUTION. Retain as-is.

GO:0016787 hydrolase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
REMOVE
Summary: Positive IEA 'hydrolase activity' propagated from the metallo-dependent hydrolase fold signature (InterPro IPR006680, Amidohydrolase-related). DPYSL5 belongs to this superfamily by sequence, but the UniProt CAUTION states it lacks the conserved metal-cofactor-binding residues 'essential for ... dihydropyrimidinase activity', and metallo-hydrolase catalysis across this superfamily depends on that metal centre.
Reason: Domain-based electronic over-propagation that should be removed on biological grounds. The annotation rests solely on the fold signature; the catalytic prerequisite (metal-cofactor binding) is demonstrably absent, the curated GO:0004157 (dihydropyrimidinase) is itself NOT-ed, and there is no positive evidence DPYSL5 performs any hydrolysis. Its established function is non-catalytic (negative regulation of dendrite outgrowth). NB: this is not a logical contradiction with the NOT (GO NOT propagates to child terms, not up to parents) - it is an unsupported, biologically implausible over-annotation. A weaker action (MARK_AS_OVER_ANNOTATED) does not fit, since that is for terms the gene is genuinely related to but peripheral on; here the activity is absent.

Core Functions

Catalytically inactive CRMP-family cytoskeletal regulator that negatively regulates dendrite/neurite outgrowth and morphogenesis during neuronal development. Acts within the semaphorin/collapsin growth-cone signalling system and through homo- and hetero-oligomerization with other CRMPs (notably DPYSL2/CRMP2); it has lost the ancestral dihydropyrimidinase activity of the family.

  • DPYSL5 lacks the metal-cofactor-binding residues essential for dihydropyrimidinase activity.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Does DPYSL5/CRMP5 retain any residual or neofunctionalized enzymatic activity, or is it strictly a non-catalytic scaffold? The UniProt CAUTION asserts loss of dihydropyrimidinase activity, but no assay has excluded all hydrolase activities.

Q: What is the molecular mechanism by which DPYSL5 negatively regulates dendrite outgrowth - does it antagonize CRMP2 (DPYSL2) within hetero-oligomers, and is this mediated through microtubule dynamics?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Express and purify recombinant DPYSL5 and assay a panel of amidohydrolase/C-N hydrolase substrates (including dihydropyrimidinase substrates) with and without divalent metal supplementation; compare to active DPYS as a positive control.

Hypothesis: DPYSL5 has no metallo-hydrolase activity of any kind, consistent with loss of the metal-binding site.

Experiment: Test dendrite outgrowth in neurons co-expressing DPYSL5 and CRMP2 variants that disrupt hetero-oligomerization, quantifying dendrite number/length.

Hypothesis: DPYSL5 negatively regulates dendrite outgrowth by antagonizing CRMP2 in hetero-oligomers.

suggested_questions:
- question: Does DPYSL5/CRMP5 retain any residual or neofunctionalized enzymatic activity, or is it strictly
    a non-catalytic scaffold? The UniProt CAUTION asserts loss of dihydropyrimidinase activity, but no
    assay has excluded all hydrolase activities.
- question: What is the molecular mechanism by which DPYSL5 negatively regulates dendrite outgrowth -
    does it antagonize CRMP2 (DPYSL2) within hetero-oligomers, and is this mediated through microtubule
    dynamics?
suggested_experiments:
- hypothesis: DPYSL5 has no metallo-hydrolase activity of any kind, consistent with loss of the metal-binding
    site.
  description: Express and purify recombinant DPYSL5 and assay a panel of amidohydrolase/C-N hydrolase
    substrates (including dihydropyrimidinase substrates) with and without divalent metal supplementation;

- hypothesis: DPYSL5 negatively regulates dendrite outgrowth by antagonizing CRMP2 in hetero-oligomers.

    hetero-oligomerization, quantifying dendrite number/length.
