Function

Catalyzes the reversible stereospecific interconversion of fumarate to L-malate (PubMed:30761759). Experiments in other species have demonstrated that specific isoforms of this protein act in defined pathways and favor one direction over the other (Probable). Isoform Mitochondrial. Catalyzes the hydration of fumarate to L-malate in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle to facilitate a transition step in the production of energy in the form of NADH. Isoform Cytoplasmic. Catalyzes the dehydration of L-malate to fumarate (By similarity). Fumarate metabolism in the cytosol plays a role during urea cycle and arginine metabolism; fumarate being a by-product of the urea cycle and amino-acid catabolism (By similarity). Also plays a role in DNA repair by promoting non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) (PubMed:20231875, PubMed:26237645). In response to DNA damage and phosphorylation by PRKDC, translocates to the nucleus and accumulates at DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs): acts by catalyzing formation of fumarate, an inhibitor of KDM2B histone demethylase activity, resulting in enhanced dimethylation of histone H3 'Lys-36' (H3K36me2) (PubMed:26237645).

Activity summary

Fumarase also known as fumarate hydratase (FH) catalyzes the reversible hydration of fumarate to malate in the citric acid cycle. This enzyme weighs approximately 49 kDa. Fumarase is predominantly expressed in the mitochondria where it performs its main function. However a cytosolic form exists that plays roles outside of the citric acid cycle especially related to DNA damage response.

Biological function summary

Fumarase converts fumarate into malate which is a critical step in cellular energy production. In the mitochondria fumarase acts as a part of the TCA cycle facilitating ATP generation. In the cytosol beyond its enzymatic activity fumarase participates in DNA repair indicating its dual functionality. This suggests that fumarase might play additional roles that are yet discovered.

Pathways

Fumarase plays essential roles in both the citric acid cycle and DNA repair pathways. In the TCA cycle fumarase along with enzymes like malate dehydrogenase maintains efficient energy conversion in mitochondria. In DNA repair fumarase likely interacts with proteins such as p53 suggesting that fumarate has signaling roles impacting cell survival and replication.

Associated diseases and disorders

Mutations in the fumarase gene associate with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC). This disorder involves impaired fumarase function leading to abnormal cellular processes and tumor development. Fumarase deficiencies also connect to neurological disorders suggesting that its dysfunction has broad effects in cellular metabolism and genome stability linking it indirectly to other proteins within the affected pathways.
