Biological function summary
FUNDC1 plays a role in the selective elimination of mitochondria through mitophagy. It acts as a receptor for damaged mitochondria binding to LC3 and enabling the autophagic machinery. FUNDC1 is not known to be part of a larger protein complex but it interacts with other mitophagy-related proteins such as PGAM5 and ULK1 to facilitate mitochondrial clearance.
Pathways
FUNDC1 participates in the mitophagy pathway and the broader mitochondrial quality control pathway. In the mitophagy pathway its interaction with proteins like LC3 facilitates the engulfment of dysfunctional mitochondria by autophagosomes. The relationship of FUNDC1 with ULK1 highlights its role in the initiation of the mitophagy signaling cascade ensuring mitochondrial integrity and cellular homeostasis.

Function
Integral mitochondrial outer-membrane protein that mediates the formation of mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs) (PubMed : 33972548). In turn, mediates angiogenesis and neoangiogenesis through interference with intracellular Ca(2+) communication and regulation of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor KDR/VEGFR2 expression at both mRNA and protein levels (PubMed : 33972548). Also acts as an activator of hypoxia-induced mitophagy, an important mechanism for mitochondrial quality and homeostasis, by interacting with and recruiting LC3 protein family to mitochondria (PubMed : 22267086, PubMed : 24671035, PubMed : 24746696, PubMed : 27653272). Mechanistically, recruits DRP1 at ER-mitochondria contact sites leading to DRP1 oligomerization and GTPase activity to facilitate mitochondrial fission during hypoxia (PubMed : 27145933, PubMed : 33978709). Additionally, plays a role in hepatic ferroptosis by interacting directly with glutathione peroxidase/GPX4 to facilitate its recruitment into mitochondria through TOM/TIM complex where it is degraded by mitophagy (PubMed : 36828120).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the FUN14 family.
Post-translational modifications
Phosphorylation at Ser-13 by CK2 and at Tyr-18 by SRC inhibits activation of mitophagy. Following hypoxia, dephosphorylated at Tyr-18, leading to interaction with MAP1 LC3 family proteins and triggering mitophagy. Dephosphorylation is mediated by PGAM5 (PubMed:24746696). Phosphorylated by ULK1 at Ser-17 which enhances FUNDC1 binding to LC3 (PubMed:24671035).. Ubiquitinated on Lys-119. Deubiquitinated by USP19; leading to hypoxia-induced DRP1 oligomerization and GTPase activity.
