Summary
FYCO1 (FYVE and coiled-coil domain autophagy adaptor 1, HGNC:14673) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3p21.31, encoding FYVE and coiled-coil domain-containing protein 1 (Q9BQS8). May mediate microtubule plus end-directed vesicle transport.
The gene encodes a Rab7 adapter protein that is implicated in the microtubule transport of autophagosomes. The encoded protein contains a RUN domain, a FYVE-type zinc finger domain, and Golgi dynamics (GOLD) domain. The encoded protein plays a role in microtubule plus end-directed transport of autophagic vesicles through interactions with the small GTPase Rab7, phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI3P), the autophagosome marker LC3, and the kinesin KIF5. Mutations in this gene are associated with inclusion body myositis (IBM) and autosomal recessive congenital cataracts (CATC2).

Function. May mediate microtubule plus end-directed vesicle transport.
Subunit / interactions. Can form homodimers. Interacts (via C-terminus) with MAP1LC3B. Interacts with RAB7A; the interaction with RAB7A induces FYCO1 recruitment to late endosomal/lysosomal compartments. Interacts with MAP1LC3B.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Autophagosome. Endosome. Lysosome.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in heart and skeletal muscle.
Disease relevance. Cataract 18 (CTRCT18) [MIM:610019] An opacification of the crystalline lens of the eye becoming evident at birth or in infancy. It frequently results in visual impairment or blindness. Opacities vary in morphology, are often confined to a portion of the lens, and may be static or progressive. In general, the more posteriorly located and dense an opacity, the greater the impact on visual function. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Pathogenic mutations in FYCO1 can affect intracellular transport of autophagocytic vesicles from the perinuclear area to the periphery, leading to an accumulation of large numbers of vesicles and hence loss of lens transparency.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 100 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.
