FYVE domain found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 27 (scVps27p) and FYVE-related domain 1 found in yeast protein VAC1 (Vac1p) and similar proteins
The family includes Saccharomyces cerevisiae vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 27 (scVps27p) and protein VAC1 (Vac1p). scVps27p, also termed Golgi retention defective protein 11, is the putative yeast counterpart of the mammalian protein Hrs and is involved in endosome maturation. It is a mono-ubiquitin-binding protein that interacts with ubiquitinated cargoes, such as Hse1p, and is required for protein sorting into the multivesicular body. Vps27p forms a complex with Hse1p. The complex binds ubiquitin and mediates endosomal protein sorting. At the endosome, Vps27p and a trimeric protein complex, ESCRT-1, bind ubiquitin and are important for multivesicular body (MVB) sorting. Vps27p contains an N-terminal VHS (Vps27/Hrs/STAM) domain, a FYVE domain that binds PtdIns3P, followed by two ubiquitin-interacting motifs (UIMs), and a C-terminal clathrin-binding motif. 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 FYVE domain in both Vps27p and Vac1p harbors a zinc-binding site composed of seven Cysteines and one Histidine, which is different from that of other FYVE domain containing proteins.
