Summary
EEA1 (early endosome antigen 1, HGNC:3185) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q22, encoding Early endosome antigen 1 (Q15075). Binds phospholipid vesicles containing phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and participates in endosomal trafficking.
Enables 1-phosphatidylinositol binding activity; GTP-dependent protein binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in endocytosis and vesicle fusion. Located in cytosol and early endosome membrane.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 23)
- activation of p38 MAPK caused a decrease in EEA1 colocalization with phagosomes, arresting maturation into the phagolysosome (PMID:12963735)
- macropinosomes do not mature to late endosomes or fuse with lysosomes. EEA1 continuously mediates homotypic fusion as long as the macropinosomes persist. (PMID:15052657)
- These results suggest that EEA1 is involved in neuronal synaptic vesicle function and axonal transport and growth. EEA1 may undergo calcium-dependent conformational changes that are required for binding to SNAP-25. (PMID:15451443)
- Results describe the geometry of the micelle penetration of the early endosome antigen 1 FYVE domain. (PMID:16331966)
- PIKfyve is distributed in microdomains that are distinct from those occupied by EEA1 and Hrs (PMID:16448788)
- Impairment of internalization of specific glutamate receptors and their subsequent accumulation in the synapse may account for the neurological deficits observed in some patients developing EEA1 autoantibodies. (PMID:17113235)
- results suggest that the local production of PtdIns(3)P implicates the fusion of macropinosomes via EEA1 as well as conventional early endosomes (PMID:17146146)
- crystal structure of Rab5A in complex with the EEA1 C(2)H(2) zinc finger (PMID:20534488)
- The knockdown of STEAP4 inhibits insulin-stimulated glucose transport and GLUT4 translocation via the attenuated phosphorylation of Akt, independent of the effects of EEA1. (PMID:21468601)
- p97 inhibition causes increased EEA1 self-association at the endosome membrane. (PMID:21556036)
- EEA1 interacts with Phafin2 and colocolizes with Phafin2 in endosome membrane. (PMID:22816767)
- NMR analyses of the interaction between the FYVE domain of early endosome antigen 1 (EEA1) and phosphoinositide embedded in a lipid bilayer. (PMID:22915584)
- We therefore propose that the N1072K variant of the EEA1 gene is a candidate mutation for susceptibility to diabetes in the Japanese population. (PMID:23499280)
- nuclear uptake of Abeta involves the dynamin-dependent EEA1 and TGF-beta/Smad signaling pathways. (PMID:24491918)
- Data indicate that early endosome antigen 1 (EEA1) is important for the small GTPase Rab31-mediated enhancement of ligand-bound EGF receptor (EGFR) endocytic trafficking. (PMID:24644286)
- In serum-deprivated HeLa cells with low endocytic activity there two types of EEA1-vesicles: the first one carries the both EEA1 and Rab5 at high levels; the second consists of weakly decorated EEA1-vesicles that can be both Rab5-positive and -negative. (PMID:25711083)
- Under the regulation of Rab5, the fused vesicles are targeted to early endosomes and thus deliver the internalized TbetaRI to the caveolin-1 and EEA1 double-positive early endosomes (caveolin-1-positive early endosomes). (PMID:25998683)
- EEA1 mobility on endosomes is decreased upon stimulation of EGF receptor endocytosis in HeLa cells (PMID:26993163)
- results suggest a new mechanism in which Rab5 induces a change in flexibility of EEA1, generating an entropic collapse force that pulls the captured vesicle towards the target membrane to initiate docking and membrane fusion (PMID:27556945)
- Rab5C and EEA1 in the early endosomal pathway, and Rab7A and lysobisphosphatidic acid in the late endosomal pathway, are important for trafficking of phosphorothioate Antisense oligonucleotides and facilitate their escape from endolysosomal compartments after Stabilin-mediated internalization. (PMID:29437530)
- identification of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis -associated variants in EEA that have functional effects on macrophage phagocytosis and phagolysosome acidification of A. fumigatus conidia. (PMID:29547649)
- This also suggests that this pathway is involved in EEA1-vesicles biogenesis. (PMID:30188634)
- Here, using EGF/EGFR endocytosis as a model and confocal microscopy of fixed and live cells, we provide evidence favoring EEA1-vesicles being pre-existed vesicular compartment, that maintains its resident proteins’ level and is sensitive to biosynthetic, but not endocytic pathway disturbance.

Function. Binds phospholipid vesicles containing phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and participates in endosomal trafficking.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Binds STX6. Binds RAB5A, RAB5B, RAB5C and RAB22A that have been activated by GTP-binding. Interacts with RAB31. Interacts with ERBB2. Interacts with SAMD9 and SAMD9L. May interact with PLEKHF2.
Subcellular location. Early endosome membrane. Cytoplasm.
Domain organisation. The FYVE-type zinc finger domain mediates interactions with phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate in membranes of early endosomes and penetrates bilayers. The FYVE domain insertion into PtdIns(3)P-enriched membranes is substantially increased in acidic conditions.
Miscellaneous. Antibodies against EEA1 are found in sera from patients with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune diseases.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 131 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
