Abstract
The second messenger Ap4A contributes to mast cell activation by interacting with HINT1 but the molecular mechanism is not fully understood. Here, the authors show that Ap4A regulates downstream signaling by polymerizing HINT1 and provide insights into how specificity over other second messengers is achieved.
