Paracrine ADP Ribosyl Cyclase-Mediated Regulation of Biological Processes [PDF]
ADP-ribosyl cyclases (ADPRCs) catalyze the synthesis of the Ca2+-active second messengers Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and ADP-ribose (ADPR) from NAD+ as well as nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP+) from NADP+. The best characterized ADPRC

Molecular characterization of a novel intracellular ADP-ribosyl cyclase. [PDF]
BackgroundADP-ribosyl cyclases are remarkable enzymes capable of catalyzing multiple reactions including the synthesis of the novel and potent intracellular calcium mobilizing messengers, cyclic ADP-ribose and NAADP.

L-thyroxine modifies nephrotoxicity by regulating the apoptotic pathway: The possible role of CD38/ADP-ribosyl cyclase-mediated calcium mobilization. [PDF]
Thyroid hormones are well-established as a key regulator of many cellular metabolic pathways developed in various pathogeneses. Here, we dedicated the current work to investigate the role of thyroid hormone analogue (L-thyroxine, L-TH) in regulating the ...

Channelling of substrate promiscuity of the skeletal-muscle ADP-ribosyl cyclase isoform. [PDF]
The novel Ca2+-mobilizing second messengers cADPr (cyclic ADP-ribose) and NAADP (nicotinic acid–adenine dinucleotide phosphate) are both synthesized by ADP-ribosyl cyclases. Using HSR (heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum) fractions from rabbit skeletal muscle, NAADP-induced Ca2+ release was observed.

CD38-dependent ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity in developing and adult mouse brain. [PDF]
CD38 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed in many tissues throughout the body. In addition to its major NAD+-glycohydrolase activity, CD38 is also able to synthesize cyclic ADP-ribose, an endogenous calcium-regulating molecule, from NAD+.

ADP-ribosyl cyclase catalyzes the elimination of nicotinamide from NAD and cyclization to cADPR, a known second messenger in cellular calcium signaling pathways. We have determined to 2.0 Å resolution the structure of Aplysia cyclase with ribose-5-phosphate bound covalently at C3′ and with the base exchange substrate (BES), pyridylcarbinol, bound to ...
