Gene Description

CPR6 is one of two CyP-40-like cyclophilin immunophilins in S. cerevisiae (the other being CPR7). It is a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase, EC 5.2.1.8) that functions as an Hsp90 co-chaperone. CPR6 contains an N-terminal cyclophilin PPIase domain and a C-terminal TPR (tetratricopeptide repeat) domain that mediates binding to Hsp90 (HSP82/HSC82). It catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds in oligopeptides and contributes to protein refolding. CPR6 binds cyclosporin A. Unlike CPR7, CPR6 is not essential for normal growth. CPR6 interacts with Hsp90 and also associates with ribosomes.

Existing Annotations Review

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0003755 peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CPR6 is a cyclophilin with well-established PPIase activity. IBA annotation is correct.
Reason: PPIase activity is the core molecular function of CPR6. UniProt describes it as catalyzing cis-trans isomerization of proline imidic peptide bonds (EC 5.2.1.8). IDA evidence from PMID:10942767 and PMID:9191025 confirms this activity.
Supporting Evidence:

Cpr6 contains a **PPIase domain** plus a **TPR domain**
GO:0005737 cytoplasm
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CPR6 is a cytoplasmic protein. IBA annotation is correct.
Reason: Consistent with IDA evidence (PMID:9191025) and HDA evidence (PMID:11914276, PMID:14562095) for cytoplasmic localization.
GO:0006457 protein folding
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CPR6 contributes to protein folding through its PPIase activity and co-chaperone function with Hsp90.
Reason: CPR6 participates in protein folding through two mechanisms: its PPIase catalytic activity (proline isomerization facilitates protein folding) and its role as an Hsp90 co-chaperone via its TPR domain. IDA and IPI evidence from PMID:9927435 supports this annotation.
GO:0016018 cyclosporin A binding
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CPR6 is a cyclophilin that binds cyclosporin A. IBA annotation is correct.
Reason: Cyclosporin A binding is a defining characteristic of cyclophilins. The name CPR6 (Cyclosporin-sensitive Proline Rotamase 6) reflects this property. The IBA inference is well-supported phylogenetically.
GO:0003755 peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: IEA annotation for PPIase activity. Redundant with IBA and IDA but correct.
Reason: Consistent with IBA and IDA annotations for PPIase activity.
GO:0005737 cytoplasm
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
ACCEPT
Summary: IEA annotation for cytoplasm from UniProt subcellular location mapping. Correct.
Reason: Consistent with IDA and HDA evidence for cytoplasmic localization.
GO:0006457 protein folding
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: IEA annotation for protein folding from InterPro. Correct.
Reason: Consistent with IBA and experimental annotations for protein folding involvement.
GO:0016853 isomerase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000043
ACCEPT
Summary: IEA annotation from UniProt keyword mapping. Broader than PPIase activity but not incorrect.
Reason: Isomerase activity is a parent term of peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity. While more specific annotations exist, this broader IEA annotation is not incorrect.
GO:0042026 protein refolding
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
ACCEPT
Summary: ARBA prediction for protein refolding. Supported by IDA evidence.
Reason: Supported by IDA evidence from PMID:10942767 which showed CPR6 has protein refolding activity.
GO:0051082 unfolded protein binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
MODIFY
Summary: ARBA prediction for unfolded protein binding. GO:0051082 is formally obsolete (QuickGO: "obsolete unfolded protein binding") and its own obsoletion comment directs replacement by GO:0044183 (protein folding chaperone) or GO:0140309 (unfolded protein holdase activity); the direct yeast evidence supports GO:0044183 as the replacement.
Reason: GO:0051082 is obsolete, so it cannot be retained as-is. GO:0044183 (protein folding chaperone) is defined simply as "Binding to a protein or a protein-containing complex to assist the protein folding process" with no ATP-dependence requirement, so it is not restricted to ATP-dependent chaperones (the ATP-dependent foldase term is the separate GO:0140662). Direct yeast evidence supports a folding-chaperone term rather than discarding the annotation: the abstract of PMID:10942767 reports that CPR6 possesses chaperone activity, and SGD independently made a GO:0042026 (protein refolding) IDA on that same paper, which this review ACCEPTs elsewhere in this file. The closest precedent is the direct paralog CPR7, whose IEA and IDA GO:0051082 rows β€” from the same paper β€” are both already MODIFY to GO:0044183 (genes/yeast/CPR7/CPR7-ai-review.yaml). Caveat: PMID:10942767 is cached abstract-only (full_text_available: false), so the abstract cannot by itself discriminate foldase activity (GO:0044183) from in-situ aggregation prevention (GO:0140309, unfolded protein holdase activity); GO:0044183 is chosen for consistency with the CPR7 decision and with the curator-asserted GO:0042026 refolding annotation, and that discrimination is deferred pending full text.

MODIFY
Summary: Direct IDA evidence for chaperone activity. GO:0051082 is formally obsolete; its own obsoletion comment directs replacement by GO:0044183 (protein folding chaperone) or GO:0140309 (unfolded protein holdase activity), and the direct evidence here supports GO:0044183.
Reason: GO:0051082 is obsolete, so it cannot be retained as-is. The abstract of PMID:10942767 reports that CPR6 possesses chaperone activity, though "the chaperone activity of Cpr6 is much lower than that of Cpr7" (its paralog). The refolding claim for CPR6 rests not on this abstract, which never uses the word, but on SGD's separate GO:0042026 (protein refolding) IDA made by a curator with the full text on this same paper β€” a row this review ACCEPTs elsewhere in this file. GO:0044183 (protein folding chaperone) is defined as "Binding to a protein or a protein-containing complex to assist the protein folding process," with no ATP-dependence requirement (that is the separate GO:0140662), so it captures this weaker-but-real chaperone activity as the specific, non-obsolete replacement term. The closest precedent is the direct paralog CPR7, whose IEA and IDA GO:0051082 rows β€” from the same paper β€” are both already MODIFY to GO:0044183 (genes/yeast/CPR7/CPR7-ai-review.yaml). Caveat: PMID:10942767 is cached abstract-only (full_text_available: false), so the abstract cannot by itself discriminate foldase activity (GO:0044183) from in-situ aggregation prevention (GO:0140309); GO:0044183 is chosen for consistency with the CPR7 decision and with the curator-asserted GO:0042026 refolding annotation, and that discrimination is deferred pending full text.
Proposed replacements: protein folding chaperone
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10942767

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Does the chaperone assay of Mayr et al. (PMID:10942767) demonstrate that CPR6 actively promotes refolding, or only in-situ suppression of aggregation? The answer decides whether CPR6 (and its paralog CPR7) should carry GO:0044183 (protein folding chaperone) or an unfolded protein holdase term such as GO:0140309. The cached record is abstract-only, so this cannot be settled here.
