Summary
DIO1 (iodothyronine deiodinase 1, HGNC:2883) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p32.3, encoding Type I iodothyronine deiodinase (P49895). Plays a crucial role in the metabolism of thyroid hormones (TH) and has specific roles in TH activation and inactivation by deiodination.
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the iodothyronine deiodinase family. It catalyzes the activation, as well as the inactivation of thyroid hormone by outer and inner ring deiodination, respectively. The activation reaction involves the conversion of the prohormone thyroxine (3,5,3’,5’-tetraiodothyronine, T4), secreted by the thyroid gland, to the bioactive thyroid hormone (3,5,3’-triiodothyronine, T3) by 5’-deiodination. This protein provides most of the circulating T3, which is essential for growth, differentiation and basal metabolism in vertebrates. This protein is a selenoprotein, containing the rare amino acid selenocysteine (Sec) at its active site. Sec is encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. The 3’ UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure, designated the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element, that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon, rather than as a stop signal. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Function. Plays a crucial role in the metabolism of thyroid hormones (TH) and has specific roles in TH activation and inactivation by deiodination. Catalyzes the deiodination of L-thyroxine (T4) to 3,5,3’-triiodothyronine (T3), 3,3’,5’-triiodothyronine (rT3) to 3,3’-diiodothyronine (3,3’-T2) and 3’,5’-diiodothyronine (3’,5’-T2) to 3’-monoiodothyronine (3’-T1) via outer-ring deiodination (ORD). Catalyzes the deiodination of T4 to 3,3’,5’-triiodothyronine (rT3) via inner-ring deiodination (IRD). Catalyzes the deiodination of T3 to 3,3’-T2, 3,5-diiodothyronine (3,5-T2) to 3- monoiodothyronine (3-T1) and 3,3’-T2 to 3-T1 via IRD. Catalyzes the phenolic ring deiodinations of 3,3’,5’-triiodothyronamine and 3’,5’-diiodothyronamine. Catalyzes the phenolic ring deiodination of 3,3’-diiodothyronamine and tyrosyl ring deiodinations of 3,5,3’-triiodothyronamine and 3,5-diiodothyronamine. Catalyzes the deiodination of L-thyroxine sulfate and 3,3’,5-triiodo-L-thyronine sulfate via IRD and of 3,3’,5’-triiodo-L-thyronine sulfate via ORD.

Disease relevance. Thyroid hormone metabolism, abnormal, 2 (THMA2) [MIM:619855] An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by slightly increased thyroid-stimulating hormone levels, and elevated serum reverse triiodothyronine (rT3) levels and rT3/T3 ratios. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Deiodination of substrates 3,3’,5’-triiodothyronine, 3,3’,5’-triiodothyronamine and 3’,5’- diiodothyronamine are inhibited by 6n-propyl-2-thiouracil (PTU).
Miscellaneous. The UGA codon in position 83 may either function as a selenocysteine codon or a translation termination codon. May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The UGA codon in position 34 may either function as a selenocysteine codon or a translation termination codon. May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The UGA codon in position 59 may either function as a selenocysteine codon or a translation termination codon. May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.
