FYVE-related domain 1 found in yeast protein VAC1 (Vac1p) and similar proteins; Vac1p, also termed vacuolar segregation protein Pep7p, or carboxypeptidase Y-deficient protein 7, or vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 19 (Vps19p), or vacuolar protein-targeting protein 19, is a phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P or PI3P)-binding protein that interacts with a Rab GTPase, GTP-bound form of Vps21p, and a Sec1p homologue, Vps45p, to facilitate Vps45p-dependent vesicle-mediated vacuolar protein sorting. It also acts as a novel regulator of vesicle docking and/or fusion at the endosome and functions in vesicle-mediated transport of Golgi precursor carboxypeptidase Y (CPY), protease A (PrA), protease B (PrB), but not alkaline phosphatase (ALP) from the trans-Golgi network-like compartment (TGN) to the endosome. Vac1p contains an N-terminal classical TFIIIA-like zinc finger, two putative zinc-binding FYVE fingers, and a C-terminal coiled coil region. The family corresponds to the first FYVE domain, which resembles the FYVE-related domain as it has an altered sequence in the basic ligand binding patch.

Phafin-1 is a representative of a novel family of PH and FYVE domain-containing proteins called phafins. It is a ubiquitously expressed pro-apoptotic protein via translocating to lysosomes, facilitating apoptosis induction through a lysosomal-mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Phafin-2 is a ubiquitously expressed endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein that facilitates tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)-triggered cellular apoptosis through endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. It is an endosomal phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P or PI3P) effector, as well as an interactor of the endosomal-tethering protein EEA1. It regulates endosome fusion upstream of Rab5. Phafin-2 also functions as a novel regulator of endocytic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) degradation through a role in endosomal fusion.

FYVE domain found in FYVE and coiled-coil domain-containing protein 1 (FYCO1) and similar proteins; FYCO1, also termed zinc finger FYVE domain-containing protein 7, is a phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P or PI3P)-binding protein that is associated with the exterior of autophagosomes and mediates microtubule plus-end-directed vesicle transport. 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 FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain-containing protein facio-genital dysplasia FGD1, FGD2, FGD4; This family represents a group of Rho GTPase cell division cycle 42 (Cdc42)-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs), including FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain-containing protein FGD1, FGD2 and FGD4. FGD1, also termed faciogenital dysplasia 1 protein, or Rho/Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor FGD1 (Rho/Rac GEF), or zinc finger FYVE domain-containing protein 3, is a central regulator of extracellular matrix remodeling and belongs to the DBL family of GEFs that regulate the activation of the Rho GTPases. FGD1 is encoded by gene FGD1. Disabling mutations in the FGD1 gene cause the human X-linked developmental disorder faciogenital dysplasia (FGDY, also known as Aarskog-Scott syndrome). FGD2, also termed zinc finger FYVE domain-containing protein 4, is expressed in antigen-presenting cells, including B lymphocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. It localizes to early endosomes and active membrane ruffles. It plays a role in leukocyte signaling and vesicle trafficking in cells specialized to present antigen in the immune system. FGD4, also termed actin filament-binding protein frabin, or FGD1-related F-actin-binding protein, or zinc finger FYVE domain-containing protein 6, functions as an F-actin-binding (FAB) protein showing significant homology to FGD1. It induces the formation of filopodia through the activation of Cdc42 in fibroblasts. Those FGD proteins possess a similar domain organization that contains a DBL homology (DH) domain, a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, a FYVE domain, and another PH domain in the C-terminus. However, each FGD has a unique N-terminal region that may directly or indirectly interact with F-actin. FGD1 and FGD4 have an N-terminal proline-rich domain (PRD) and an N-terminal F-actin binding (FAB) domain, respectively. This model corresponds to the FYVE domain, which has been found in many proteins involved in membrane trafficking and phosphoinositide metabolism, and has been defined by three signature sequences: an N-terminal WxxD motif (x for any residue), the central basic R(R/K)HHCR patch, and a C-terminal RVC motif, which form a compact phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P or PI3P)-binding site. FGD1 possesses a FYVE-like domain that lack the N-terminal WxxD motif. Moreover, FGD2 is the only known RhoGEF family member shown to have a functional FYVE domain and endosomal binding activity.

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 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 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.
