Bis(5′-adenosyl)-triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.29; UniProt P49789; also known as AP3A hydrolase, AP3Aase, Diadenosine 5′,5′′′-P1,P3-triphosphate hydrolase, Dinucleosidetriphosphatase, Fragile histidine triad protein) is encoded by the FHIT gene (Gene ID 2722) in human. Common fragile sites (CFSs) are large genomic loci that display chromosomal instability in response to genotoxic or replicative stress. Many CFSs harbor genes that contribute to cancer development and are non-randomly altered in cancers through genomic alteration. The Fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene at FRA3B is one of the earliest and most frequently altered genes in the majority of human cancers. FHIT protein plays a role in apoptosis and prevention of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). A FHIT-upregulated microRNA, miR-30c, has been identified to mediate the suppression of EMT and metastasis by directly targeting metastasis genes Metadherin (MTDH), High-mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2), and the mesenchymal markers, Vimentin (VIM) and Fibronectin (FN1), in human lung cancer. In addition, FHIT protein also plays an important role in maintaining genome stability, loss of FHIT protein function leads to nucleotide imbalance, spontaneous replication stress, and DNA breaks. Because FHIT loss-induced DNA damage is checkpoint-independent, cells accumulate further DNA damage during subsequent cell cycles, accruing global genome instability that could facilitate oncogenic mutation acquisition and expedite clonal expansion.
