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.

General info
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).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the class-II fumarase/aspartase family. Fumarase subfamily.
Post-translational modifications
Isoform Cytoplasmic. Phosphorylation at Thr-236 by PRKDC in response to DNA damage promotes translocation to the nucleus and recruitment to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs).
