Gene Description

GET3 encodes an ATPase that is the central targeting factor in the GET (Guided Entry of Tail-anchored proteins) pathway. As a homodimer, Get3p recognizes and binds the transmembrane domain of newly synthesized tail-anchored (TA) membrane proteins in the cytosol, shielding the hydrophobic segment from aqueous solvent. ATP binding drives a closed dimer conformation that facilitates TA substrate capture, and the Get3p-substrate complex is then delivered to the ER membrane via the Get1p/Get2p receptor, where ATP hydrolysis triggers substrate release and membrane insertion. Get3p also cooperates with the HDEL receptor Erd2p in ATP-dependent retrograde retrieval of ER-resident proteins from the Golgi, and functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Gpa1p in pheromone signaling. Under oxidative stress with ATP depletion, Get3p undergoes a conformational switch to act as a holdase chaperone. Orthologous to human GET3/TRC40.

Summary: Manual review: protein folding chaperone activity is supported under oxidative or ATP-depleting stress but is not the core GET-pathway function.
Reason: Keep as non-core because Get3 has a regulated ATP-independent holdase role during oxidative stress, while the primary function remains ATP-dependent tail-anchored protein targeting to the ER.
Supporting Evidence:

under oxidative stress or ATP depletion, Get3 is converted from ATPase targeting factor into an **ATP-independent holdase chaperone**.

MODIFY
Summary: Manual review: pheromone-dependent signal transduction involved in conjugation with cellular fusion may be context-dependent or peripheral for GET3.
Reason: GO obsoleted GO:0000750 as a precomposed term to be represented as a GO-CAM, replaced_by GO:0071507 pheromone response MAPK cascade. That replacement suits the kinases, not Arr4/Get3, which acts upstream of the cascade as a non-receptor GEF for the Galpha Gpa1 and promotes MAPK phosphorylation, new-gene transcription and mating (PMID:18261907). The GO-CAM idiom for a GEF on the pheromone Galpha, as in the S. pombe pheromone model gomodel:693b3c0900000536 (receptor GEF activity positively regulating the cascade), is guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity (already on GET3) positively regulating the cascade, so the BP replacement is positive regulation of pheromone response MAPK cascade. That term is itself positioned in conjugation, so no context is lost. Non-core relative to tail-anchored protein targeting.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Manual review: guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity for Gpa1 is directly reported but remains context-specific relative to the canonical GET pathway.
Reason: Keep as non-core because one quantitative source supports Arr4/Get3 GEF activity in pheromone signaling, but this role is less integrated with later GET-pathway mechanistic literature than TA-protein targeting.
Supporting Evidence:

Reason: Kept as non-core to preserve potentially valid context-specific annotation without elevating it to core function.

Core pathway evidence places Get3 as a **cytosolic shuttle** that also becomes **ER membrane-associated** via Get1/Get2 during docking/release; membrane association is ATP-sensitive and reversible

Core Functions

Get3 is the central ATPase of the yeast GET pathway. As a cytosolic homodimer, it binds and shields tail-anchored protein transmembrane domains, delivers the client to the ER Get1/Get2 receptor/insertase, and uses ATP hydrolysis to drive productive release and insertion into the ER membrane.

  • file:yeast/GET3/GET3-deep-research-falcon.md
    Get3 is described as a **Zn2+-stabilized homodimer** whose dimer interface forms a **composite hydrophobic groove** that binds an Ξ±-helical TA TMD; mutations that increase groove hydrophilicity reduce TA binding, and conformational closure is nucleotide dependent
  • file:yeast/GET3/GET3-deep-research-falcon.md
    Biochemical reconstitution demonstrates Get1/Get2 are the minimal ER membrane machinery for insertion, with **Get2 tethering** membrane-proximal Get3–TA complexes and **Get1 driving ATPase-dependent substrate release** for insertion

SGD gene description for GET3 (yeast)

Guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Gpa1p; amplifies G-protein signaling; subunit of the GET complex involved in ATP-dependent Golgi-to-ER trafficking; binds as a dimer to the transmembrane domain of tail-anchored proteins in the cytosol, shielding them from aqueous solvent until the Get1p/Get2p heterodimer releases the substrate and inserts it into the ER membrane; acts as a chaperone under ATP-depleted oxidative stress conditions; protein abundance increases under DNA replication stress
