FYVE domain found in endofin and similar proteins; Endofin, also termed zinc finger FYVE domain-containing protein 16 (ZFY16), or endosome-associated FYVE domain protein, is a FYVE domain-containing protein that is localized to EEA1-containing endosomes. It is regulated by phosphoinositol lipid and engaged in endosome-mediated receptor modulation. Endofin is involved in Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling through interacting with Smad1 preferentially and enhancing Smad1 phosphorylation and nuclear localization upon BMP stimulation. It also functions as a scaffold protein that brings Smad4 to the proximity of the receptor complex in Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta signaling. Moreover, endofin is a novel tyrosine phosphorylation target downstream of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in EGF-signaling. In addition, endofin plays a role in endosomal trafficking by recruiting cytosolic TOM1, an important molecule for membrane recruitment of clathrin, onto endosomal membranes.

FYVE domain found in lateral signaling target protein 2 homolog (Lst2) and similar proteins; Lst2, also termed zinc finger FYVE domain-containing protein 28, is a monoubiquitinylated phosphoprotein that functions as a negative regulator of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling. Unlike other FYVE domain-containing proteins, Lst2 displays primarily non-endosomal localization. Its endosomal localization is regulated by monoubiquitinylation. Lst2 physically binds Trim3, also known as BERP or RNF22, which is a coordinator of endosomal trafficking and interacts with Hrs and a complex that biases cargo recycling.

FYVE domain like superfamily; FYVE domain is a 60-80 residue double zinc finger motif-containing module named after the four proteins, Fab1, YOTB, Vac1, and EEA1. The canonical FYVE domains are distinguished from other zinc fingers by three signature sequences: an N-terminal WxxD motif (x for any residue), the central basic R(R/K)HHCRxCG patch, and a C-terminal RVC motif, which form a compact phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P, also termed PI3P)-binding site. They are found in many membrane trafficking regulators, including EEA1, Hrs, Vac1p, Vps27p, and FENS-1, which locate to early endosomes, specifically bind PtdIns3P, and play important roles in vesicular traffic and in signal transduction. Some proteins, such as rabphilin-3A and alpha-Rab3-interacting molecules (RIMs), are also involved in membrane trafficking and bind to members of the Rab subfamily of GTP hydrolases. However, they contain FYVE-related domains that are structurally similar to the canonical FYVE domains but lack the three signature sequences. At this point, they may not bind to phosphoinositides. In addition, this superfamily also contains the third group of proteins, caspase-associated ring proteins CARP1 and CARP2. They do not localize to membranes in the cell and are involved in the negative regulation of apoptosis, specifically targeting two initiator caspases, caspase 8 and caspase 10, which are distinguished from other FYVE-type proteins. Moreover, these proteins have an altered sequence in the basic ligand binding patch and lack the WxxD motif that is conserved only in phosphoinositide binding FYVE domains. Thus they constitute a family of unique FYVE-type domains called FYVE-like domains. The FYVE domain is structurally similar to the RING domain and the PHD finger. This superfamily also includes ADDz zinc finger domain, which is a PHD-like zinc finger motif that contains two parts, a C2-C2 and a PHD-like zinc finger.

FYVE domain found in hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate (Hrs) and similar proteins; Hrs, also termed protein pp110, is a tyrosine phosphorylated protein that plays an important role in the signaling pathway of HGF. It is localized to early endosomes and an essential component of the endosomal sorting and trafficking machinery. Hrs interacts with hypertonia-associated protein Trak1, a novel regulator of endosome-to-lysosome trafficking. It can also forms an Hrs/actinin-4/BERP/myosin V protein complex that is required for efficient transferrin receptor (TfR) recycling but not for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) degradation. Moreover, Hrs, together with STAM proteins, STAM1 and STAM2, and EPs15, forms a multivalent ubiquitin-binding complex that sorts ubiquitinated proteins into the multivesicular body pathway, and plays a regulatory role in endocytosis/exocytosis. Furthermore, Hrs functions as an interactor of the neurofibromatosis 2 tumor suppressor protein schwannomin/merlin. It is also involved in the inhibition of citron kinase-mediated HIV-1 budding. Hrs contains a single ubiquitin-interacting motif (UIM) that is crucial for its function in receptor sorting, and a FYVE domain that harbors double Zn2+ binding sites.

It regulates cell migration through modulating phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PtdIns5P) levels. MTMR3 contains an N-terminal PH-GRAM (PH-G) domain, a MTM phosphatase domain, a coiled-coil region, and a C-terminal FYVE domain. Unlike conventional FYVE domains, the FYVE domain of MTMR3 neither confers endosomal localization nor binds to PtdIns3P. It is also not required for the enzyme activity of MTMR3. In contrast, the PH-G domain binds phosphoinositides.

FYVE domain found in metazoan PIKfyve, fungal and plant Fab1, and similar proteins; PIKfyve, also termed FYVE finger-containing phosphoinositide kinase, or 1-phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate 5-kinase, or phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K3), or phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate 5-kinase type III (PIPkin-III or type III PIP kinase), is a phosphoinositide 5-kinase that forms a complex with its regulators, the scaffolding protein Vac14 and the lipid phosphatase Fig4. The complex is responsible for synthesizing phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,5)P2] from phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P or PI3P). Then phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate (PtdIns5P) is generated directly from PtdIns(3,5)P2. PtdIns(3,5)P2 and PtdIns5P regulate endosomal trafficking and responses to extracellular stimuli. At this point, PIKfyve is vital in early embryonic development. Moreover, PIKfyve forms a complex with ArPIKfyve (associated regulator of PIKfyve) and SAC3 at the endomembranes, which plays a role in receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) degradation. The phosphorylation of PIKfyve by AKT can facilitate Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) degradation. In addition, PIKfyve may participate in the regulation of the glutamate transporters EAAT2, EAAT3 and EAAT4, and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). It is also essential for systemic glucose homeostasis and insulin-regulated glucose uptake/GLUT4 translocation in skeletal muscle. It can be activated by protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) and further up-regulates human ether-a-go-go (hERG) channels. This family also includes the yeast and plant orthologs of human PIKfyve, Fab1. PIKfyve and its orthologs share a similar architecture. They contain an N-terminal FYVE domain, a middle region related to the CCT/TCP-1/Cpn60 chaperonins that are involved in productive folding of actin and tubulin, a second middle domain that contains a number of conserved cysteine residues (CCR) unique to this family, and a C-terminal lipid kinase domain related to PtdInsP kinases.

It functions as a novel genetic regulator of vascular pruning by activation of endothelial cell-targeted apoptosis. FGD5 is a homologue of FGD1 and contains a DBL homology (DH) domain, a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, a FYVE domain, and another PH domain in the C-terminus, but lacks the N-terminal proline-rich domain (PRD) found in FGD1. The FYVE domain of FGD5 resembles a FYVE-like domain that is different from the canonical FYVE domains, since it lacks one of the three conserved signature motifs (the WxxD motif) that are involved in phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P or PI3P) binding and exhibits altered lipid binding specificities.

It acts as an effector of GTP-bound Rab7, a GTPase that recruits FYCO1 to autophagosomes and has been implicated in autophagosome-lysosomal fusion. FYCO1 also interacts with two microtubule motor proteins, kinesin (KIF) 5B and KIF23, and thus functions as a platform for assembly of vesicle fusion and trafficking factors. FYCO1 contains an N-terminal alpha-helical RUN domain followed by a long central coiled-coil region, a FYVE domain and a GOLD (Golgi dynamics) domain in C-terminus.

FYVE domain found in WD40 repeat and FYVE domain-containing protein WDFY1 and WDFY2, and similar proteins; This family includes WD40 repeat and FYVE domain-containing protein WDFY1 and WDFY2. WDFY1, also termed FYVE domain containing protein localized to endosomes-1 (FENS-1), or phosphoinositide-binding protein 1, or zinc finger FYVE domain-containing protein 17, is a novel single FYVE domain containing protein that binds phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P or PI3P) with high specificity over other phosphoinositides. WDFY1 to early endosomes requires an intact FYVE domain and is inhibited by wortmannin, a PI3-kinase inhibitor. WDFY2, also termed zinc finger FYVE domain-containing protein 22, or ProF (propeller-FYVE protein), is a phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P or PI3P) binding protein that is localized to a distinct subset of early endosomes close to the plasma membrane. It interacts preferentially with endogenous serine/threonine kinase Akt2, but not Akt1, and plays a specific role in modulating signaling through Akt downstream of the interaction of this kinase with the endosomal proteins APPL (adaptor protein containing PH domain, PTB domain, and leucine zipper motif). In addition to Akt, WDFY2 serves as a binding partner for protein kinase C, zeta (PRKCZ), and its substrate vesicle-associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP2), and is involved in vesicle cycling in various secretory pathways. Moreover, Silencing of WDFY2 by siRNA produces a strong inhibition of endocytosis. Both WDFY1 and WDFY2 contain a FYVE domain and multiple WD-40 repeats.

FYVE-like domain found in FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain-containing protein 3 (FGD3) and similar proteins; FGD3, also termed zinc finger FYVE domain-containing protein 5, is a putative Cdc42-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that undergoes the ubiquitin ligase SCFFWD1/beta-TrCP-mediated proteasomal degradation. It is a homologue of FGD1 and contains a DBL homology (DH) domain and pleckstrin homology (PH) domain in the middle region, a FYVE domain, and another PH domain in the C-terminus, but lacks the N-terminal proline-rich domain (PRD) found in FGD1. Due to this difference, FGD3 may play different roles from that of FGD1 to regulate cell morphology or motility. The FYVE domain of FGD3 resembles a FYVE-like domain that is different from the canonical FYVE domains, since it lacks one of the three conserved signature motifs (the WxxD motif) that are involved in phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P or PI3P) binding and exhibits altered lipid binding specificities.

FYVE-related domain found in RUN and FYVE domain-containing protein 4 (RUFY4) and similar proteins; RUFY4 belongs to the FUFY protein family which is characterized by the presence of an N-terminal RUN domain and a C-terminal FYVE domain. The FYVE domain of RUFY4 resembles the FYVE-related domain as it lacks the WxxD motif (x for any residue). The biological function of RUFY4 still remains unclear.

FYVE-related domain found in uncharacterized myotubularin-related proteins mainly from eumetazoa; This family includes a group of uncharacterized myotubularin-related proteins mainly found in eumetazoa. Although their biological functions remain unclear, they share similar domain architecture that consists of an N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, a highly conserved region related to myotubularin proteins, a C-terminal FYVE domain. The model corresponds to the FYVE domain, which resembles the FYVE-related domain as it has an altered sequence in the basic ligand binding patch.

FYVE-like domain found in caspase-associated ring proteins, CARP1 and CARP2; CARP1 and CARP2 are a novel group of caspase regulators by the presence of a FYVE-type zinc finger domain. They do not localize to membranes in the cell and are involved in the negative regulation of apoptosis, specifically targeting two initiator caspases, caspase 8 and caspase 10, which are distinguished from other FYVE-type proteins. Moreover, these proteins have an altered sequence in the basic ligand binding patch and lack the WxxD (x for any residue) motif that is conserved only in phosphoinositide binding FYVE domains. Thus they constitute a family of unique FYVE-type domains called FYVE-like domains.
