forkhead associated (FHA) domain found in kinesin-like protein KIF1A KIF1A, also called axonal transporter of synaptic vesicles (ATSV), microtubule-based motor KIF1A, Unc-104- and KIF1A-related protein, or Unc-104, is an axonal transporter of synaptic vesicles, which is mutated in hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 2. It is also required for neuronal dense core vesicle (DCV) transport to dendritic spines and axons. The calcium-dependent interaction with CALM1 increases vesicle motility, and interaction with the scaffolding proteins PPFIA2 and TANC2 recruits DCVs to synaptic sites. The FHA domain is a small phosphopeptide recognition module, but this group may lack the conserved residues that are required for binding phosphothreonine.
