Summary
VPS39 (VPS39 subunit of HOPS complex, HGNC:20593) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q15.1, encoding Vam6/Vps39-like protein (Q96JC1). Regulator of TGF-beta/activin signaling, inhibiting SMAD3- and activating SMAD2-dependent transcription. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 13.8% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a protein that may promote clustering and fusion of late endosomes and lysosomes. The protein may also act as an adaptor protein that modulates the transforming growth factor-beta response by coupling the transforming growth factor-beta receptor complex to the Smad pathway. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 7)

Function. Regulator of TGF-beta/activin signaling, inhibiting SMAD3- and activating SMAD2-dependent transcription. Acts by interfering with SMAD3/SMAD4 complex formation, this would lead to inhibition of SMAD3-dependent transcription and relieve SMAD3 inhibition of SMAD2-dependent promoters, thus increasing SMAD2-dependent transcription. Does not affect TGF-beta-induced SMAD2 or SMAD3 phosphorylation, nor SMAD2/SMAD4 complex formation. Plays a role in vesicle-mediated protein trafficking to lysosomal compartments including the endocytic membrane transport and autophagic pathways. Acts as a component of the HOPS endosomal tethering complex. This complex is proposed to be involved in the Rab5-to-Rab7 endosome conversion probably implicating MON1A/B, and via binding SNAREs and SNARE complexes to mediate tethering and docking events during SNARE-mediated membrane fusion. The HOPS complex is proposed to be recruited to Rab7 on the late endosomal membrane and to regulate late endocytic, phagocytic and autophagic traffic towards lysosomes. Involved in homotypic vesicle fusions between late endosomes and in heterotypic fusions between late endosomes and lysosomes. Required for fusion of endosomes and autophagosomes with lysosomes.
Subunit / interactions. Homooligomer. Interacts with TGFBR2 and, less efficiently, with TGFBR1; interaction with TGFBR2 is independent of the receptor kinase activity and of the presence of TGF-beta. Also interacts with ACVR2B, but not with BMPR2. Interacts with SMAD4, preferentially following TGF-beta treatment. Does not interact with SAMD2 or SMAD3. Component of the homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting (HOPS) complex; the core of which composed of the class C Vps proteins VPS11, VPS16, VPS18 and VPS33A, is associated with VPS39 and VPS41. Interacts with PLEKHM2; involved in VPS39 recruitment to ARL8B-containing lysosomes. Associates with adapter protein complex 3 (AP-3) and clathrin:AP-3 complexes. Interacts with STX17; this interaction is increased in the absence of TMEM39A. Interacts with RAB7, RAB2A and RAB2B. Interacts with RAB2A (GTP-bound); the interaction contributes to obtaining a functional HOPS complex that promotes autophagosome-lysosome membrane fusion driven by STX17-SNAP29-VAMP8. Interacts with RAB39A (GTP-bound) and RAB39B (GTP-bound); interaction with RAB39A contributes to obtaining a functional HOPS complex. (Microbial infection) Interacts with SARS coronavirus-2/SARS-CoV-2 ORF3A protein; the interaction is direct and sequestrates VPS39, thereby preventing HOPS complex from interacting with the autophagosomal SNARE protein STX17. ORF3A enhances the interaction of VPS39 with VPS11 and VPS18, while its interaction with the VPS16:VPS33A module is attenuated.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Lysosome membrane. Late endosome membrane.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed, with highest levels in heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, brain, placenta and spleen.
Similarity. Belongs to the VAM6/VPS39 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 56 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.
