Also known as HK3
Summary
HOOK3 (hook microtubule tethering protein 3, HGNC:23576) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8p11.21, encoding Protein Hook homolog 3 (Q86VS8). Acts as an adapter protein linking the dynein motor complex to various cargos and converts dynein from a non-processive to a highly processive motor in the presence of dynactin.
Hook proteins are cytosolic coiled-coil proteins that contain conserved N-terminal domains, which attach to microtubules, and more divergent C-terminal domains, which mediate binding to organelles. The Drosophila Hook protein is a component of the endocytic compartment.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 9)
- Salmonella SpiC targets the function of Hook3, a mammalian protein implicated in cellular trafficking. (PMID:12950921)
- Hook3 interacts with a cytoplasmic domain of scavenger receptor A (PMID:17237231)
- A fusion product between exon 11 of HOOK3 and exon 12 of RET gene was identified by 5’RACE, and the presence of chimeric HOOK3-RET protein of 88 kDa was detected by western blot analysis with an anti-RET antibody. (PMID:17639057)
- Hook3 is recruited to pericentriolar satellites through interaction with pericentriolar material 1 protein PCM1. (PMID:20152126)
- Results found that downregulation of Hook3 expression slows down endosomal transport and increases beta-amyloid production suggesting that Hook3 might play a critical role in pathogenic events exacerbating Alzheimer disease. (PMID:25799409)
- results of our study identify HOOK3 as a strong candidate prognostic marker with a possible role in maintaining genomic integrity in prostate cancer, which may have potential for inclusion into clinical routine assays (PMID:26230842)
- Single-molecule motility assays using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy indicate that both Hook1 and Hook3 effectively activate cytoplasmic dynein, inducing longer run lengths and higher velocities than the previously characterized dynein activator bicaudal D2 (BICD2). (PMID:27365401)
- This work reveals the structural details of Hook3’s interaction with dynein and offers insight into how cargo adaptors form processive dynein-dynactin motor complexes. (PMID:27482052)
- Study demonstrates that PTPN21 activates KIF1C by binding to the stalk region. This function does not require catalytic activity of the phosphatase, and its N-terminal FERM domain alone is sufficient to stimulate the transport of KIF1C cargoes in cells as well as increasing the landing rate of KIF1C on microtubules in vitro. The cargo adapter Hook3 binds KIF1C in the same region and activates KIF1C in a similar way. (PMID:31217419)

Function. Acts as an adapter protein linking the dynein motor complex to various cargos and converts dynein from a non-processive to a highly processive motor in the presence of dynactin. Facilitates the interaction between dynein and dynactin and activates dynein processivity (the ability to move along a microtubule for a long distance without falling off the track). Predominantly recruits 2 dyneins, which increases both the force and speed of the microtubule motor. Component of the FTS/Hook/FHIP complex (FHF complex). The FHF complex may function to promote vesicle trafficking and/or fusion via the homotypic vesicular protein sorting complex (the HOPS complex). May regulate clearance of endocytosed receptors such as MSR1. Participates in defining the architecture and localization of the Golgi complex. FHF complex promotes the distribution of AP-4 complex to the perinuclear area of the cell. (Microbial infection) May serve as a target for the spiC protein from Salmonella typhimurium, which inactivates it, leading to a strong alteration in cellular trafficking.
Subunit / interactions. Self-associates. Component of the FTS/Hook/FHIP complex (FHF complex), composed of AKTIP/FTS, FHIP1B, and one or more members of the Hook family of proteins HOOK1, HOOK2, and HOOK3. May interact directly with AKTIP/FTS, HOOK1 and HOOK2. Associates with several subunits of the homotypic vesicular sorting complex (the HOPS complex) including VPS16 and VPS41; these interactions may be indirect. Interacts with MSR1, and this association is stimulated by ligand binding to MSR1. Interacts with microtubules. Part of a tripartite complex with dynein and dynactin, acts an adapter linking the dynein motor complex and dynactin. Interacts with dynein intermediate chain and dynactin (DCTN1). Interacts with CCDC181. Interacts with LRGUK. (Microbial infection) Interacts with Salmonella typhimurium spiC.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Golgi apparatus.
Similarity. Belongs to the hook family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 151 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.
