Summary
ASAH1 (N-acylsphingosine amidohydrolase 1, HGNC:735) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8p22, encoding Acid ceramidase (Q13510). Lysosomal ceramidase that hydrolyzes sphingolipid ceramides into sphingosine and free fatty acids at acidic pH.
This gene encodes a member of the acid ceramidase family of proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed. Processing of this preproprotein generates alpha and beta subunits that heterodimerize to form the mature lysosomal enzyme, which catalyzes the degradation of ceramide into sphingosine and free fatty acid. This enzyme is overexpressed in multiple human cancers and may play a role in cancer progression. Mutations in this gene are associated with the lysosomal storage disorder, Farber lipogranulomatosis, and a neuromuscular disorder, spinal muscular atrophy with progressive myoclonic epilepsy.

Function. Lysosomal ceramidase that hydrolyzes sphingolipid ceramides into sphingosine and free fatty acids at acidic pH. Ceramides, sphingosine, and its phosphorylated form sphingosine-1-phosphate are bioactive lipids that mediate cellular signaling pathways regulating several biological processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. Has a higher catalytic efficiency towards C12-ceramides versus other ceramides. Also catalyzes the reverse reaction allowing the synthesis of ceramides from fatty acids and sphingosine. For the reverse synthetic reaction, the natural sphingosine D-erythro isomer is more efficiently utilized as a substrate compared to D-erythro-dihydrosphingosine and D-erythro-phytosphingosine, while the fatty acids with chain lengths of 12 or 14 carbons are the most efficiently used. Also has an N-acylethanolamine hydrolase activity. By regulating the levels of ceramides, sphingosine and sphingosine-1-phosphate in the epidermis, mediates the calcium-induced differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes. Also indirectly regulates tumor necrosis factor/TNF-induced apoptosis. By regulating the intracellular balance between ceramides and sphingosine, in adrenocortical cells, probably also acts as a regulator of steroidogenesis. May directly regulate steroidogenesis by binding the nuclear receptor NR5A1 and negatively regulating its transcriptional activity.
Subunit / interactions. Heterodimer; disulfide-linked. The heterodimer is composed of the disulfide-linked alpha and beta chains produced by autocatalytic cleavage of the precursor. Isoform 2: May interact with NR5A1 in the nucleus; the direct interaction would negatively regulate NR5A1 transcriptional activity.
Subcellular location. Lysosome. Secreted Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Broadly expressed with higher expression in heart.
Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated. Proteolytically cleaved into two chains alpha and beta that remain associated via a disulfide bond. Cleavage gives rise to a conformation change that activates the enzyme. The same catalytic Cys residue mediates the autoproteolytic cleavage and subsequent hydrolysis of lipid substrates. The beta chain may undergo an additional C-terminal processing.
Disease relevance. Farber lipogranulomatosis (FRBRL) [MIM:228000] An autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder characterized by subcutaneous lipid-loaded nodules, excruciating pain in the joints and extremities, and marked accumulation of ceramide in lysosomes. Disease severity is variable. The most severe disease subtype is a rare neonatal form with death occurring before 1 year of age. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Spinal muscular atrophy with progressive myoclonic epilepsy (SMAPME) [MIM:159950] An autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder characterized by childhood onset of motor deficits and progressive myoclonic seizures, after normal developmental milestones. Proximal muscle weakness and generalized muscular atrophy are due to degeneration of spinal motor neurons. Myoclonic epilepsy is generally resistant to conventional therapy. The disease course is progressive and leads to respiratory muscle involvement and severe handicap or early death from respiratory insufficiency. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Activated by Ca(2+), Mg(2+) and Na(+) cations. Inhibited by Zn(2+). Phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid stimulate while cardiolipin, phosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and sphingomyelin inhibit the reverse ceramide synthase activity. Phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylinositol and C16-ceramide inhibit the ceramidase/hydrolase activity.
Induction. Up-regulated by Ca(2+).
Pathway. Lipid metabolism; sphingolipid metabolism.
Miscellaneous. Switches substrate specificity upon intralysosomal accumulation of glycosphingolips. Such is the case in Gaucher disease where the regular catabolism of glucosylceramide (GluCer) fails due to the lack of GBA1 activity, its accumulation triggers the alternative catabolism by acid ceramidase which deacylates GluCer producing a free fatty acid and glucosylsphingosine (glucosylsphing-4-enine, GluSph). Similarly, the intralysosomal accumulation of globoside Gb3 in Fabry disease due to an inactive GLA triggers its alternative catabolism by acid ceramidase, generating lysoGb3. Formation of lyso-glycosphingolipids might have harmful side-effects and contribute to the pathology, for instance GluSph causes an aberrant activation of mTORC1, suppressing normal lysosomal functions, including the clearance of pathogenic alpha-synuclein species. Mutagenesis in position: 25:L->A (Loss of interaction with NR5A1).
Similarity. Belongs to the acid ceramidase family.
