Description

Assigns GO:1903711 (spermidine transmembrane transport) to fungal proteins in CATH FunFam 1.20.1730.10:FF:000006 (Urea active transporter), the family of the DUR3 polyamine and urea transporter.

Review Summary

The live rule has one condition set, FunFam 1.20.1730.10:FF:000006 in Fungi, and it was examined. Its Swiss-Prot matches are S. cerevisiae DUR3 (P33413), C. albicans DUR3 (A0A1D8PDB5, named Spermidine transporter DUR3) and S. pombe dur3-1 (O94469). P33413 has spermidine transmembrane transporter activity by IDA and IMP from PMID:17218313, and A0A1D8PDB5 by IMP from PMID:22033918; GO:0015606 is part_of GO:1903711. The MFS multidrug transporter set that an earlier version of the rule contained (FunFam 1.20.1250.20:FF:000011 in Taphrinomycotina) is no longer in the rule.

Action Rationale

The only condition set identifies fungal DUR3 orthologs, and two of the three reviewed matches have experimental evidence of spermidine transport. Confidence is limited because 1,445 unreviewed fungal entries match and S. pombe has several dur3 paralogs whose substrates have not been tested.

Assessments

MODERATE

PMID:17218313, "Polyamine uptake by DUR3 and SAM3 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae", is the source of the SGD IDA and IMP annotations of P33413 to GO:0015606. The paper is not in the local publication cache, so no quotation is given.

  withdrawn_claim: >-
    Only 21.8% of proteins matching FunFam 1.20.1250.20:FF:000011 carry the term, which confirms poor
    specificity.
  correction: >-
    The figure counted existing annotations among Swiss-Prot members of the FunFam in all taxa, ignored
    the taxon condition of the set, and treated a missing annotation as evidence of absence.
  error_type: CONJUNCTION_IGNORED
  evidence:

    Previous entries block: protein_count 55, intersection_count 12 for the FunFam alone, with no taxon
    filter
- date: '2026-11-10'
  withdrawn_claim: >-
    If the FunFams predicted spermidine transport the function would be expected in broader taxa, so the
    taxon restrictions show ad hoc construction.
  correction: >-
    A taxon condition limits where the rule fires; it says nothing about whether the annotation is true
    where it does fire.

  evidence:
  - 'Live condition set 1 taxon: Fungi (NCBITaxon:4751)'

    The rule has two condition sets, an MFS multidrug transporter set and a urea active transporter set.
  correction: The live rule has only the urea active transporter (DUR3) set.
