FAMIN Is a Multifunctional Purine Enzyme Enabling the Purine Nucleotide Cycle. Cell 2020; 180:278-295.e23. [PMID: 31978345 PMCID: PMC6978800 DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2019.12.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2019] [Revised: 11/18/2019] [Accepted: 12/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Mutations in FAMIN cause arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease in early childhood, and a common genetic variant increases the risk for Crohn's disease and leprosy. We developed an unbiased liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry screen for enzymatic activity of this orphan protein. We report that FAMIN phosphorolytically cleaves adenosine into adenine and ribose-1-phosphate. Such activity was considered absent from eukaryotic metabolism. FAMIN and its prokaryotic orthologs additionally have adenosine deaminase, purine nucleoside phosphorylase, and S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine phosphorylase activity, hence, combine activities of the namesake enzymes of central purine metabolism. FAMIN enables in macrophages a purine nucleotide cycle (PNC) between adenosine and inosine monophosphate and adenylosuccinate, which consumes aspartate and releases fumarate in a manner involving fatty acid oxidation and ATP-citrate lyase activity. This macrophage PNC synchronizes mitochondrial activity with glycolysis by balancing electron transfer to mitochondria, thereby supporting glycolytic activity and promoting oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial H+ and phosphate recycling. An unbiased LC-MS screen reveals FAMIN as a purine nucleoside enzyme FAMIN combines adenosine phosphorylase with ADA-, PNP-, and MTAP-like activities FAMIN enables a purine nucleotide cycle (PNC) preventing cytoplasmic acidification The FAMIN-dependent PNC balances the glycolysis-mitochondrial redox interface

Chemotherapy targeting methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) deficiency in adult T cell leukemia (ATL). Leukemia 2002; 16:1799-807. [PMID: 12200696 DOI: 10.1038/sj.leu.2402570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2001] [Accepted: 03/25/2002] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) is an important enzyme used for the salvage of adenine and methionine. Cells lacking this enzyme are expected to be sensitive to purine synthesis inhibitors and/or methionine starvation. We reported previously that the MTAP gene is deleted in adult T cell leukemia (ATL) cells. In the present study, we expanded our series and used a real-time quantitative PCR assay for accurate diagnosis of the deletion and nine of 65 primary ATL samples (13.8%) were MTAP negative. In spite of this low incidence, ATL cells showed significantly higher sensitivity to L-alanosine, an inhibitor of de novo adenosine monophosphate (AMP) synthesis, than normal lymphocytes, suggesting that the MTAP gene is inactivated not only by deletion but also by other mechanisms. Indeed, a real-time quantitative RT-PCR assay disclosed that primary ATL cells had significantly lower MTAP mRNA expression than normal lymphocytes. Since MTAP-negative ATL cell lines also showed much higher sensitivity to L-alanosine than MTAP-positive ATL cell lines, we used these cell lines to investigate whether it is possible to develop selective therapy targeting MTAP deficiency. A substrate of MTAP, methylthioadenosine (MTA) or its substitutes rescued concanavalin A (Con A)-activated normal lymphocyte proliferation from L-alanosine toxicity. All the compounds except 5'-deoxyadenosine, however, also caused the undesirable rescue of MTAP-negative ATL cell lines. 5'-Deoxyadenosine had the desired ability to rescue hematopoietic progenitor cells without rescuing ATL cell lines. These results support the rationale for a chemotherapy regimen of L-alanosine combined with 5'-deoxyadenosine rescue in MTAP-deficient ATL.
