Aminoacylase 1 (ACY1), a metalloenzyme that removes amide-linked ACY1 groups from amino acids and may play a role in regulating responses to oxidative stress. Both the C-terminal fragment found in the two-hybrid screen and full-length ACY1 co-immunoprecipitate with SphK1. Though both C-terminal and full-length proteins slightly reduce SphK1 activity measured in vitro, the C-terminal fragment inhibits while full-length ACY1 potentiates the effects of SphK1 on proliferation and apoptosis. It suggested that ACY1 physically interacts with SphK1 and may influence its physiological functions. As a homodimeric zinc-binding enzyme, Aminoacylase 1 catalyzes the hydrolysis of N alpha-acylated amino acids. Deficiency of Aminoacylase 1 due to mutations in the Aminoacylase 1 (ACY1) gene follows an autosomal-recessive trait of inheritance and is characterized by accumulation of N-acetyl amino acids in the urine.
