Histidine triad nucleotide-binding protein


Function

Histidine triad nucleotide-binding protein (HINT) or protein kinase C interacting protein or adenosine 5'-monophosphoamidase hydrolyzes purine nucleotide monophosphoamidates and some amino acid-AMPs[1]. HINT contain the His-X-His-X-His-X motif where X is a hydrophobic amino acid.

  • HINT1 is a tumor suppressor and has a role in neuropsychiatric diseases[2].
  • HINT2 is a mitochondrial hydrolase whose overexpression sensitizes cells to apoptosis[3].
  • Fragile histidine triad (FHIT) cleave diadenosine polyphosphates like ApppA.

Disease

FHIT gene abnormalities are seen in gallbladder carcinoma[4] and lung cancer[5].

Relevance

HINT is a tumor suppressor. FHIT-Ap(n)A complex functions in proapoptotic tumor suppression pathway. FHIT is overexpressed in inflammatory bowel disease[6] and in colorectal cancer[7].
