Also known as DAP1
Summary
DAP (death associated protein, HGNC:2672) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5p15.2, encoding Death-associated protein 1 (P51397). Ribosome-binding protein involved in ribosome hibernation, a process during which ribosomes are stabilized in an inactive state and preserved from proteasomal degradation.
This gene encodes a basic, proline-rich, 15-kD protein. The protein acts as a positive mediator of programmed cell death that is induced by interferon-gamma. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

Genetic regulation across tissues (GTEx eQTL / sQTL)
DAP is an eGene in GTEx v10 — its expression is genetically regulated (eQTL) in 46 tissues and its splicing (sQTL) in 30 (q < 0.05). Strongest associations first; slope = normalized effect of the lead variant’s alternative allele.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 6)
- Mapping of the phosphorylation sites and analysis of phosphorylation mutants indicated that DAP1 is functionally silenced in growing cells through mTOR-dependent phosphorylations on Ser3 and Ser51 (PMID:20537536)
- This study demonstrates an inverse association between DAP1 mRNA levels and tumour stage and clinical outcome in breast cancer (PMID:22798505)
- DAP1 was found to be correlated with disease progression and long-term survival of the colorectal patients. DAP1 is also a pivotal regulator of the growth and apoptosis and cellular response to chemotherapy agents. (PMID:24270644)
- DAP1 may have an important role in cell adhesion, migration and growth in the context of breast cancer and has significant associations with the apoptosis pathway. (PMID:25530065)
- Backbone and nearly complete side-chain chemical shift assignments of the human death-associated protein 1 (DAP1). (PMID:33263927)

Genes flanking this one on the chromosome (NCBI/Entrez gene neighborhood). Positional context only — some neighbors share regulatory elements (bidirectional promoters, antisense/overlapping transcripts), but chromosomal adjacency is not itself a functional relationship (see Interactions for that).

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Ribosome-binding protein involved in ribosome hibernation, a process during which ribosomes are stabilized in an inactive state and preserved from proteasomal degradation. Acts via its association with eiF5a (EIF5A and EIF5A2) at the polypeptide exit tunnel of the ribosome, preventing mRNA translation. Involved in ribosome hibernation in the mature oocyte by preventing mRNA translation, leading to ribosome inactivation. Ribosomes, which are produced in large quantities during oogenesis, are stored and translationally repressed in the oocyte and early embryo. Also acts as a negative regulator of autophagy. Involved in mediating interferon-gamma-induced cell death.
Subunit / interactions. Associates with ribosomes; inhibiting translation. Interacts with eiF5a (EIF5A and EIF5A2); inhibiting translation.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation by MTOR inhibits the suppressive activity of DAP toward autophagy.
Similarity. Belongs to the DAP-DAPL1 family.
