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 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 zinc finger; The FYVE zinc finger is named after four proteins that it has been found in: Fab1, YOTB/ZK632.12, Vac1, and EEA1. The FYVE finger has been shown to bind two Zn++ ions. The FYVE finger has eight potential zinc coordinating cysteine positions. Many members of this family also include two histidines in a motif R+HHC+XCG, where + represents a charged residue and X any residue. We have included members which do not conserve these histidine residues but are clearly related.

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.
