HINT1
This gene encodes a protein that hydrolyzes purine nucleotide phosphoramidates substrates, including AMP-morpholidate, AMP-N-alanine methyl ester, AMP-alpha-acetyl lysine methyl ester, and AMP-NH2. The encoded protein interacts with these substrates via a histidine triad motif. This gene is considered a tumor suppressor gene. In addition, mutations in this gene can cause autosomal recessive neuromyotonia and axonal neuropathy. There are several related pseudogenes on chromosome 7. Several transcript variants have been observed.
Function
Exhibits adenosine 5'-monophosphoramidase activity, hydrolyzing purine nucleotide phosphoramidates with a single phosphate group such as adenosine 5'monophosphoramidate (AMP-NH2) to yield AMP and NH2 (PubMed:15703176, PubMed:16835243, PubMed:17337452, PubMed:17217311, PubMed:23614568, PubMed:28691797, PubMed:29787766, PubMed:31990367, PubMed:22329685).
Hydrolyzes adenosine 5'monophosphomorpholidate (AMP-morpholidate) and guanosine 5'monophosphomorpholidate (GMP-morpholidate) (PubMed:15703176, PubMed:16835243).
Hydrolyzes lysyl-AMP (AMP-N-epsilon-(N-alpha-acetyl lysine methyl ester)) generated by lysine tRNA ligase, as well as Met-AMP, His-AMP and Asp-AMP, lysyl-GMP (GMP-N-epsilon-(N-alpha-acetyl lysine methyl ester)) and AMP-N-alanine methyl ester (PubMed:15703176, PubMed:22329685, PubMed:17337452).
Hydrolyzes 3-indolepropionic acyl-adenylate, tryptamine adenosine phosphoramidate monoester and other fluorogenic purine nucleoside tryptamine phosphoramidates in vitro (PubMed:17337452, PubMed:23614568, PubMed:29787766, PubMed:17217311, PubMed:28691797, PubMed:31990367).
Can also convert adenosine 5'-O-phosphorothioate and guanosine 5'-O-phosphorothioate to the corresponding nucleoside 5'-O-phosphates with concomitant release of hydrogen sulfide (PubMed:30772266).
In addition, functions as scaffolding protein that modulates transcriptional activation by the LEF1/TCF1-CTNNB1 complex and by the complex formed with MITF and CTNNB1 (PubMed:16014379, PubMed:22647378).
Modulates p53/TP53 levels and p53/TP53-mediated apoptosis (PubMed:16835243).
Modulates proteasomal degradation of target proteins by the SCF (SKP2-CUL1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex (PubMed:19112177).
Also exhibits SUMO-specific isopeptidase activity, deconjugating SUMO1 from RGS17 (PubMed:31088288).
Deconjugates SUMO1 from RANGAP1 (By similarity).

Involvement in disease
Neuromyotonia and axonal neuropathy, autosomal recessive (NMAN):
An autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by onset in the first or second decade of a peripheral axonal neuropathy predominantly affecting motor more than sensory nerves. The axonal neuropathy is reminiscent of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 and distal hereditary motor neuropathy. Individuals with NMAN also have delayed muscle relaxation and action myotonia associated with neuromyotonic discharges on needle EMG resulting from hyperexcitability of the peripheral nerves.
