Gene Description

EHD3 (PAST3) is a C-terminal Eps15 homology domain-containing (EHD) dynamin-related ATPase closely related to EHD1 (about 86-87% identity), with which it hetero-oligomerizes. It has an N-terminal ATP-binding G-like domain, a helical membrane-binding region and a C-terminal EH domain with an EF-hand that binds NPF-motif partners such as MICAL-L1, rabenosyn-5 and Rab11-FIP2. EHD3 resides on tubular and vesicular membranes of the endocytic recycling compartment and supports the stability of tubular recycling endosomes; it regulates transport from early endosomes to the recycling compartment and early endosome-to-Golgi retrieval (needed for mannose 6-phosphate receptor return and normal Golgi morphology). EHD3 is enriched in brain and heart; in cardiomyocytes it binds ankyrin-B and is required for targeting of membrane proteins such as the Na/Ca exchanger NCX1 and Cav1.2, influencing cardiac excitability and conduction. Together with EHD1, EHD3 localizes to preciliary membranes and the ciliary pocket and contributes, partly redundantly with EHD1, to ciliary vesicle formation at the onset of primary ciliogenesis.

IMP
PMID:21791287
Endocytosis promotes rapid dopaminergic signaling.
ACCEPT
Summary: Receptor recycling (IMP) from a study of D1 dopamine receptor endocytosis and signaling.
Reason: The cached abstract does not name EHD3, but recycling inhibition was assayed and EHD3 is an established regulator of endocytic recycling; deferring to the curator who read the full text.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:21791287

Summary: Nucleic acid binding (TAS) from the EHD2-4 cloning paper.
Reason: The cloning paper describes only predicted sequence features (a nucleotide-binding consensus site and a predicted bipartite nuclear localization signal); it contains no evidence of nucleic acid binding, and EHD proteins are ATP-binding membrane-remodeling ATPases.

GO:0005525 GTP binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
MODIFY
Summary: GTP binding (IEA, InterPro dynamin-like G domain) for EHD3.
Reason: Although EHD proteins have a dynamin-related G domain, they bind and hydrolyze ATP rather than GTP; purified RME-1/EHD1 family proteins showed no significant GTP binding or hydrolysis, and ATP binding drives their oligomerization and membrane association. The correct nucleotide-binding term is ATP binding.
Proposed replacements: ATP binding
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:15710626
we show that both Caenorhabditis elegans and mouse RME-1 proteins bind and hydrolyze ATP. No significant GTP binding or hydrolysis was detected.

Summary: Protein-macromolecule adaptor activity (IBA) for EHD3.
Reason: The C-terminal EH domain of EHD proteins binds NPF-motif proteins (MICAL-L1, rabenosyn-5, syndapins, Rab11-FIP2), linking these partners to EHD oligomers on recycling membranes. The phylogenetic inference is consistent with this conserved EH-domain function.

Summary: regulation of cardiac muscle contraction (IEA).
Reason: Ehd3 loss in mouse cardiomyocytes impairs targeting of ankyrin-associated ion transporters (NCX1, Cav1.2), affecting membrane excitability and conduction; physiologically important but a tissue-specific consequence of its membrane-targeting role.

ACCEPT
Summary: Cilium assembly (IMP).
Reason: siRNA-resistant EHD3 rescues ciliation in EHD-depleted cells, and zebrafish ehd3 morphants show tissue-specific ciliogenesis defects; EHD3 acts partly redundantly with EHD1 (in RPE cells EHD1 is much more abundant and EHD3 appears dispensable).
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:25686250
Importantly, an siRNA resistant form of GFP-EHD1 or GFP-EHD3 but not GFP, GFP-EHD2 or GFP-EHD4 rescued ciliation
PMID:25686250
Together these results indicate that Ehd1 and Ehd3 have overlapping, albeit tissue specific, functions in ciliogenesis in zebrafish embryos.

Summary: Protein localization to plasma membrane (IBA).

Summary: Protein localization to plasma membrane (IGI) in cardiomyocytes.
Reason: EHD proteins bind ankyrin-B and are required for membrane targeting of cardiac ion transport proteins such as NCX1.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: regulation of cardiac muscle cell membrane potential (IGI).
Reason: Ehd3 loss in mouse cardiomyocytes impairs targeting of ankyrin-associated ion transporters (NCX1, Cav1.2), affecting membrane excitability and conduction; physiologically important but a tissue-specific consequence of its membrane-targeting role.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Golgi to lysosome transport (IMP).
Reason: Cathepsin D trapping at the Golgi and Golgi fragmentation after EHD3 depletion are attributed by the authors to impaired endosome-to-Golgi retrieval of M6PR and reduced AP-1 recruitment, i.e. indirect consequences of the primary endosome-to-Golgi transport defect.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:19139087
These data also suggest that impaired endosome-to-Golgi transport and the resulting lack of recruitment of AP-1 gamma-adaptin to Golgi membranes affect Golgi morphology.

NEW
Summary: Proposed: EHD3 drives assembly of the ciliary vesicle from distal appendage vesicles at the mother centriole.
Reason: EHD3 does the work of this step: its membrane-tubulating activity reorganizes the small distal appendage vesicles, and with the SNARE regulator SNAP29 it promotes their fusion into the ciliary vesicle. This is more specific than the existing cilium assembly annotation and matches the GO definition (smaller vesicles dock at the transitional fibres and fuse to form the ciliary vesicle). No gene product currently carries this term, so there is no conflicting convention.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:25686250
EHD-dependent membrane tubulation is essential for ciliary vesicle formation from smaller distal appendage vesicles (DAVs).
PMID:25686250
Based on our findings for EHD1 and EHD3 functioning in CV assembly from DAVs, we predicted that the SNARE membrane fusion machinery would play a critical role in early ciliogenesis.
PMID:25686250
Given these findings and the requirement for EHD1 and EHD3 tubulation function in CV assembly, we theorized that EHD proteins recruit SNAP29 to DAVs where the SNARE functions in fusion of tubulated DAVs.

Core Functions

Membrane-associated EHD ATPase (hetero-oligomerizing with EHD1) on tubular recycling endosomes that stabilizes recycling tubules and supports early endosome-to-recycling compartment and endosome-to-Golgi transport (non-ciliary core role).

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:17233914
    loss of EHD1 and 3 (and to a lesser extent EHD4) but not EHD2 function retarded transferrin exit from the endocytic recycling compartment
  • PMID:19139087
    Our findings support a role for EHD3 in regulating endosome-to-Golgi transport

Ciliary role, partly redundant with EHD1: membrane tubulation of distal appendage vesicles for ciliary vesicle assembly at the onset of primary ciliogenesis; localizes to the ciliary pocket membrane.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:25686250
    EHD1 and EHD3 localize to preciliary membranes and the ciliary pocket.
  • PMID:25686250
    Together these results indicate that Ehd1 and Ehd3 have overlapping, albeit tissue specific, functions in ciliogenesis in zebrafish embryos.

Cardiac membrane protein targeting: binds ankyrin-B and supports targeting of NCX1/Cav1.2 to the cardiomyocyte membrane, influencing excitability and conduction (tissue-specific).

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: In which cell types is EHD3 (rather than EHD1) limiting for ciliary vesicle assembly, given that EHD3 appears dispensable in RPE1 cells where EHD1 is >5-fold more abundant?

Q: Does EHD3 hydrolyze ATP like EHD1/EHD2, and is ATPase activity required for its tubule-stabilizing (as opposed to vesiculating) function?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Generate EHD1/EHD3 single and double knockouts in a cell line with comparable expression of both (e.g. IMCD3) and quantify distal appendage vesicle-to-ciliary vesicle conversion by EM.
