PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a N terminal RUN domain
  • a 9-amino acid-long F-type LIR motif, and FYCO1 requires a functional LIR motif to facilitate efficient maturation of autophagosomes under basal conditions, whereas starvation-induced autophagy was unaffected
  • a C terminal FYVE domain with two coiled-coid domain in-between
  • HOMOLOGY

    text
  • colocalize to microtubules and found adjacent to Golgi, but primarily colocalize to autophagosomes
  • basic FUNCTION
  • promotes microtubule (MT) plus end-directed transport of autophagic vesicles
  • functions as an adapter linking autophagosomes to microtubule plus end-directed molecular motors
  • associated with the exterior of autophagosomes and mediating microtubule plus-end-directed vesicle transport
  • involved in lens development and transparency
  • Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granule homeostasis is likely regulated by FYCO1-mediated autophagy
  • component of the autophagic machinery, that is essential for adaptation to cardiac stress
  • is an adaptor protein, expressed ubiquitously and required for microtubule-dependent, plus-end-directed transport of macroautophagic/autophagic vesicles
  • protein that promotes microtubule plus end-directed transport of autophagic and endosomal vesicles as a molecular interaction partner of activated CASP8

    small molecule
    protein
  • binds to both MAP1LC3A, PtdIns(3)P and RAB7A, and contains a domain responsible for microtubule plus end-dependent transport
  • NINL enhanced the interaction between RAB7A and FYCO1, thus accelerated autophagic flux and the formation of autophagolysosome
  • FYCO1 is a novel and specific CASP8 substrate
