Gene Description

DBP5 is an essential DEAD-box RNA helicase that functions as a key factor in mRNA nuclear export. It acts at the cytoplasmic face of the nuclear pore complex where it remodels mRNP complexes and facilitates mRNA release. The protein is activated by interaction with Gle1 and inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) at the NPC. Beyond its primary role in mRNA export, DBP5 also participates in tRNA export and has secondary roles in translation termination.

GO:0003724 RNA helicase activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: DBP5 is a well-characterized DEAD-box RNA helicase with demonstrated ATP-dependent RNA unwinding activity. The IBA annotation is supported by extensive experimental evidence from multiple species, representing a core molecular function conserved across eukaryotes.
Reason: This is a core function of DBP5. The DEAD-box helicase family is defined by this activity. The protein contains the diagnostic DEAD box motif and Q motif characteristic of this helicase class. IBA reflects legitimate phylogenetic inference of this conserved catalytic domain function.
Supporting Evidence:

It is shown here that Dbp5p is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase required for polyadenylated [poly(A)+] RNA export.
PMID:9564048
Dbp5p/Rat8p, a previously uncharacterized member of the DEAD-box family of proteins, is closely related to eukaryotic initiation factor 4A(eIF4A) an RNA helicase essential for protein synthesis initiation.
GO:0003729 mRNA binding
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: DBP5 binds mRNA as part of its catalytic mechanism for helicase activity. However, this annotation is overly generic for a protein whose function is specifically remodeling mRNP complexes. The binding represents a means to the mechanistic end of mRNA remodeling and export, not a separate function.
Reason: While DBP5 does bind mRNA, describing this as a separate function obscures the more informative molecular mechanism. DBP5 binds mRNA transiently as substrate for ATP-dependent unwinding during the mRNA export process. The IBA annotation is technically correct but less informative than the actual catalytic function (RNA helicase activity). This should not be listed as a core function alongside the helicase activity, as it is subsidiary to that activity.

GO:0005634 nucleus
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: DBP5 localizes to the nucleus and specifically to the nuclear pore complex region. The IBA annotation reflects this well-documented subcellular localization pattern.
Reason: While DBP5 is primarily cytoplasmic, it does accumulate at the nuclear pore complex on the cytoplasmic side and transiently associates with nuclear structures. The IBA annotation is appropriate for phylogenetic inference of documented subcellular localization.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:9564048
Dbp5p/Rat8p is located within the cytoplasm and concentrated in the perinuclear region. Analysis of the distribution of Dbp5p/Rat8p in yeast strains where nuclear pore complexes are tightly clustered indicated that a fraction of this protein associates with nuclear pore complexes (NPCs).
GO:0010494 cytoplasmic stress granule
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: DBP5 has been observed in cytoplasmic stress granules, which is consistent with the protein's broader role in mRNA remodeling and processing. This represents a secondary cellular role.
Reason: DBP5's presence in stress granules represents a stress-response localization of the protein rather than a core catalytic function. This is a conditional, non-essential aspect of DBP5 biology. The protein's primary function is mRNA export, with stress granule association being a secondary phenomenon.

GO:0016973 poly(A)+ mRNA export from nucleus
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: DBP5 is a key factor in mRNA export from the nucleus. The poly(A)+ specificity reflects the well-characterized role of DBP5 in the export of mature, polyadenylated mRNAs. The IBA annotation appropriately represents this core function.
Reason: This is a primary core function of DBP5. Extensive experimental evidence demonstrates that DBP5 is essential for mRNA export, specifically acting on poly(A)+ mRNAs at the cytoplasmic face of the nuclear pore complex. The phylogenetic inference is appropriate for this conserved and well-documented function.
Supporting Evidence:

GO:0000166 nucleotide binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000043
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: DBP5 is an ATP-dependent enzyme that requires nucleotide binding for catalytic activity. This is a predictable annotation based on the helicase domain and ATP-binding motifs.
Reason: While technically correct, nucleotide binding is a subsidiary property of ATP-dependent enzymes. This is less informative than the actual ATP binding term and should not be emphasized as a core function.
GO:0003676 nucleic acid binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: DBP5 binds nucleic acid (RNA) as part of its helicase mechanism. The InterPro mapping is appropriate for this conserved domain property.
Reason: This is a parent term of RNA binding and is appropriate but redundant with more specific annotations. RNA binding subsumes this annotation.
GO:0003723 RNA binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000043
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: DBP5 binds RNA as substrate for helicase activity. This is documented from domain analysis and experimental evidence.
Reason: RNA binding is a mechanistic property subsidiary to the primary helicase activity. Should not be listed as a core function separately from the catalytic activity.
GO:0003724 RNA helicase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: DBP5 helicase activity is correctly inferred from domain annotation and sequence homology. This IEA annotation duplicates the IBA and IDA annotations already present.
Reason: While redundant with IBA and IDA annotations for the same term, this IEA annotation is correct and appropriately supported by InterPro mapping. Multiple evidence codes for the same well-established function is acceptable in GO.
GO:0004386 helicase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000043
ACCEPT
Summary: DBP5 is a helicase with nucleic acid unwinding activity. This is a parent term to RNA helicase activity.
Reason: This is a correct characterization of DBP5 as a helicase. While more general than RNA helicase activity, it appropriately represents the broader catalytic class.
GO:0005524 ATP binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: DBP5 contains a DEAD box domain with ATP binding site. This binding is essential for the helicase mechanism.
Reason: ATP binding is a core mechanistic feature of DEAD-box helicases and is well-documented in the protein structure and function. This is appropriate to retain.
GO:0005643 nuclear pore
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
ACCEPT
Summary: DBP5 is associated with the nuclear pore complex, specifically on the cytoplasmic face. The subcellular location annotation is appropriate.
Reason: DBP5 is indeed a component of the nuclear pore export machinery. The annotation correctly represents the structural context where the protein operates.
GO:0005737 cytoplasm
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: DBP5 localizes primarily to the cytoplasm, where it resides both diffusely and at the nuclear pore complex.
Reason: Appropriate subcellular localization annotation confirmed by experimental data. The cytoplasmic localization is essential for its mRNA export function.
GO:0010467 gene expression
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: DBP5 contributes to gene expression by facilitating mRNA export, which is downstream of transcription and essential for protein synthesis.
Reason: While DBP5 is involved in the post-transcriptional steps of gene expression, this annotation is overly broad and generic. DBP5 is not directly involved in transcription, translation initiation, or other early gene expression steps. The term obscures the specific mRNA export function.
GO:0015031 protein transport
IEA
GO_REF:0000043
REMOVE
Summary: DBP5 is annotated as protein transport based on general transport keywords. However, DBP5 specifically transports RNA, not proteins.
Reason: This annotation is mechanistically incorrect. DBP5 facilitates mRNA transport, not protein transport. The mRNA is transported as an mRNP complex, but the cargo is RNA, not protein. This should be removed in favor of more accurate mRNA transport annotations.
GO:0016787 hydrolase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000043
ACCEPT
Summary: DBP5 is an ATP-dependent enzyme with ATP hydrolysis activity as part of its catalytic mechanism. This parent term is appropriate.
Reason: Hydrolase activity is the correct parent classification for ATP-dependent enzymes including helicases. This annotation accurately represents the enzymatic class.
GO:0016887 ATP hydrolysis activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000116
ACCEPT
Summary: DBP5 catalyzes ATP hydrolysis coupled to RNA unwinding. The Rhea mapping appropriately captures this catalytic activity.
Reason: This accurately represents the ATP hydrolysis catalytic activity. DEAD-box helicases use ATP hydrolysis to power RNA unwinding, making this annotation both appropriate and informative.
GO:0031965 nuclear membrane
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
ACCEPT
Summary: DBP5 associates with the nuclear pore complex, which is embedded in the nuclear membrane. The localization annotation is appropriate.
Reason: The nuclear membrane is the structural context where the nuclear pore complex resides. DBP5 peripheral association with the nuclear pore complex on the cytoplasmic face makes this annotation appropriate.
GO:0051028 mRNA transport
IEA
GO_REF:0000043
ACCEPT
Summary: DBP5 functions in mRNA transport from nucleus to cytoplasm. This process term appropriately captures DBP5's role in mRNA export.
Reason: mRNA transport is an appropriate process annotation for DBP5. While more general than the specific poly(A)+ mRNA export annotation, it correctly characterizes the biological process.

REMOVE
Summary: DBP5 physically interacts with multiple protein partners including Zds1p and Gfd1p (Ymr255p). These protein-protein interactions are documented by experimental methods. However, generic protein binding term is uninformative.
Reason: While the protein binding is documented, this annotation is overly generic and uninformative. The specific binding partners (Zds1p, Gfd1p) are known and documented in UniProt. Rather than generic protein binding, the annotations should focus on the functional roles of these interactions in mRNA export and complex assembly. Generic protein binding terms should be avoided per GO best practices.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Recent evidence demonstrates that DBP5 has a function in tRNA export from the nucleus, in addition to its well-characterized mRNA export role. This represents an additional RNA export function beyond poly(A)+ mRNA.
Reason: While the evidence is solid, tRNA export represents a secondary and more recently discovered function of DBP5 compared to mRNA export. The protein's primary and essential function is mRNA export. tRNA export may represent an ancillary function or a substrate promiscuity of the mRNA export machinery.

Core Functions

DBP5 catalyzes ATP-dependent RNA unwinding (helicase activity) as a core function, operating at the cytoplasmic filaments of the nuclear pore complex where it remodels mRNP complexes to facilitate mRNA export. The protein is a key component of the terminal step of mRNA export, where it removes mRNA-binding proteins and remodels the mRNP to allow passage through the NPC.

  • PMID:9564047
    Dbp5p is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase required for polyadenylated [poly(A)+] RNA export.

    review:
      summary: DBP5 has been observed in cytoplasmic stress granules, which is 
        consistent with the protein's broader role in mRNA remodeling and 
        processing. This represents a secondary cellular role.
      action: KEEP_AS_NON_CORE
      reason: DBP5's presence in stress granules represents a stress-response 
        localization of the protein rather than a core catalytic function. This 
        is a conditional, non-essential aspect of DBP5 biology. The protein's 
        primary function is mRNA export, with stress granule association being a
        secondary phenomenon.

    review:
      summary: DBP5 shows genetic interaction with translation termination 
        factors eRF1 and eRF3, indicating a role in translation termination 
        beyond mRNA export.
      action: KEEP_AS_NON_CORE
      reason: While the genetic interactions are documented, translation 
        termination appears to be a secondary function of DBP5. The primary and 
        essential function is mRNA export. Translation termination interactions 
        may represent pleiotropy or indirect effects.

      summary: DBP5 shows direct physical interaction with eRF1, a translation 
        termination factor. The interaction is specifically detected and 
        characterized.
      action: KEEP_AS_NON_CORE
      reason: While the physical interaction with eRF1 is documented, 
        translation termination remains a secondary function. The protein's 
        essential function is mRNA export, not translation termination.

      as a core function, operating at the cytoplasmic filaments of the nuclear 
      pore complex where it remodels mRNP complexes to facilitate mRNA export. 
      The protein is a key component of the terminal step of mRNA export, where 
      it removes mRNA-binding proteins and remodels the mRNP to allow passage 
      through the NPC.
