Gene Description

Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 29 (VPS29) is a catalytically inactive metallophosphoesterase-fold scaffolding subunit shared between two endosomal cargo-coat complexes: the heterotrimeric retromer cargo-selective complex (VPS35-VPS26-VPS29) and the retriever complex (VPS35L-VPS26C-VPS29, part of Commander). Bound in a C-terminal alpha-helical solenoid cradle of VPS35 (or VPS35L), VPS29 presents a conserved hydrophobic surface (centered on Leu152) that recruits regulatory cofactors including the Rab7 GTPase-activating protein TBC1D5 and the VARP adaptor, supporting both endosome-to-Golgi retrograde retrieval and endosome-to-plasma-membrane recycling.

Summary: Curated NOT|involved_in annotation from PMID:24603492, which shows that TBC1D5 and the AP2 complex regulate ATG9 trafficking toward autophagosome formation.
Reason: This row carries a curated NOT|involved_in qualifier from PMID:24603492; while TBC1D5 binds VPS29 on endosomes, PMID:24603492 establishes that TBC1D5 and the clathrin adaptor AP2 complex regulate the rerouting of ATG9-containing vesicular carriers toward sites of autophagosome formation via ATG9 and the active ULK1 complex, supporting retention of the curator's negative assertion on VPS29.
Supporting Evidence:

The RabGAP protein TBC1D5 controls cellular endomembrane trafficking processes and binds the retromer subunit VPS29 and the ubiquitin-like protein ATG8 (LC3). Here, we describe that TBC1D5 also associates with ATG9 and the active ULK1 complex during autophagy. Moreover, ATG9 and TBC1D5 interact with clathrin and the AP2 complex. ...

Reason: Direct immunofluorescence microscopy in PMID:15078903 demonstrates that human Vps29 (together with Vps26 and Vps35) localizes to the tubular domains of early endosomes where CI-MPR is enriched prior to transport to the TGN, providing direct experimental sub-compartment evidence beyond the root early endosome membrane term (GO:0031901).
Supporting Evidence:

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: What cellular mechanisms partition the shared VPS29 subunit pool between VPS35 (retromer) and VPS35L (retriever), and how does competition for the VPS29 Leu152 hydrophobic pocket among TBC1D5, VARP, and Commander subunits regulate endosomal tubule fission?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Measure competitive binding kinetics of TBC1D5, VARP, and CCC complex subunits to VPS29 assembled in purified retromer vs retriever heterotrimers using surface plasmon resonance and cryo-EM.
