TOM1

Description

The TOM1 (target of myb1 membrane trafficking protein) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 22.

Target of Myb protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TOM1 gene. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined, yet it may involve the translocation of growth factor receptor complexes to the lysosome for degradation. This gene is localized to 22q13.1, with HMOX1 and MCM5 distally and HMG2L1 proximally positioned.

== Interactions == TOM1 has been shown to interact with TOLLIP and ZFYVE16.

Adapter protein that plays a role in the intracellular membrane trafficking of ubiquitinated proteins, thereby participating in autophagy, ubiquitination-dependent signaling and receptor recycling pathways. Acts as a MYO6/Myosin VI adapter protein that targets MYO6 to endocytic structures. Together with MYO6, required for autophagosomal delivery of endocytic cargo, the maturation of autophagosomes and their fusion with lysosomes. MYO6 links TOM1 with autophagy receptors, such as TAX1BP1; CALCOCO2/NDP52 and OPTN. Binds to polyubiquitinated proteins via its GAT domain. In a complex with TOLLIP, recruits ubiquitin-conjugated proteins onto early endosomes. The Tom1-Tollip complex may regulate endosomal trafficking by linking polyubiquitinated proteins to clathrin. Mediates clathrin recruitment to early endosomes by ZFYVE16. Modulates binding of TOLLIP to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3)P) via binding competition; the association with TOLLIP may favor the release of TOLLIP from endosomal membranes, allowing TOLLIP to commit to cargo trafficking. Acts as a phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PtdIns(5)P) effector by binding to PtdIns(5)P, thereby regulating endosomal maturation. PtdIns(5)P-dependent recruitment to signaling endosomes may block endosomal maturation. Also inhibits Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling and participates in immune receptor recycling. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14563850, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15047686, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15657082, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23023224, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25588840, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26320582, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31371777}
