Background
This gene encodes a cytosolic, homodimeric, zinc-binding enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acylated L-amino acids to L-amino acids and an acyl group, and has been postulated to function in the catabolism and salvage of acylated amino acids. This gene is located on chromosome 3p21.1, a region reduced to homozygosity in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), and its expression has been reported to be reduced or undetectable in SCLC cell lines and tumors. The amino acid sequence of human aminoacylase-1 is highly homologous to the porcine counterpart, and this enzyme is the first member of a new family of zinc-binding enzymes. Mutations in this gene cause aminoacylase-1 deficiency, a metabolic disorder characterized by central nervous system defects and increased urinary excretion of N-acetylated amino acids. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription als
Function
catalytic activity:An N-acyl-L-amino acid + H(2)O = a carboxylate + an L-amino acid.,cofactor:Binds 2 zinc ions per subunit.,disease:Defects in ACY1 are the cause of aminoacylase-1 deficiency (ACY1D) [MIM:609924]. ACY1D results in a metabolic disorder manifesting with encephalopathy, unspecific psychomotor delay, psychomotor delay with atrophy of the vermis and syringomyelia, marked muscular hypotonia or normal clinical features. Epileptic seizures are a frequent feature. All affected individuals exhibit markedly increased urinary excretion of several N-acetylated amino acids.,function:Involved in the hydrolysis of N-acylated or N-acetylated amino acids (except L-aspartate).,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase M20A family.,subunit:Homodimer. Interacts with SPHK1.,tissue specificity:Expression is highest in kidney, strong in brain and weaker in placenta and spleen.,
