ADP-Ribosyl Cyclases Regulate Early Development of the Sea Urchin [PDF]
ADP-ribosyl cyclases are multifunctional enzymes involved in the metabolism of nucleotide derivatives necessary for Ca2+ signalling such as cADPR and NAADP.

The Na<sup>+</sup>/K<sup>+</sup>-ATPase β1 Subunit is a Kidney ADP-Ribosyl Cyclase. [PDF]
This study highlights that the β1 subunit of Na, K‐ATPase, known as Atp1b1, functions as an ADP‐ribosyl cyclase in rat kidney (kARC). We found that reducing Atp1b1 expression in mouse mesangial cells suppressed angiotensin II (AngII)–induced synthesis of cyclic ADP‐ribose (cADPR) and the associated sustained Ca2+ signaling.

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 ...

CD38/cADPR-mediated calcium signaling in a human myometrial smooth muscle cell line, PHM1. [PDF]
Abstract Cyclic ADP‐ribose (cADPR) has emerged as a calcium‐regulating second messenger in smooth muscle cells. CD38 protein possesses ADP‐ribosyl cyclase and cADPR hydrolase activities and mediates cADPR synthesis and degradation. We have previously shown that CD38 expression is regulated by estrogen and progesterone in the myometrium.

Cd38/Adp-Ribosyl Cyclase [PDF]
The multifunctional ADP-ribosyl cyclase, CD38, catalyzes the cyclization of NAD+ to cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPr). The latter gates Ca2+ release through microsomal membrane-resident ryanodine receptors (RyRs). We first cloned and sequenced full-length CD38 cDNA from a rabbit osteoclast cDNA library.

Chronic kidney disease is a progressive disease that may lead to end-stage renal disease. Interstitial fibrosis develops as the disease progresses. Therapies that focus on fibrosis to delay or reverse progressive renal failure are limited.

Characterization of the Active Site of ADP-ribosyl Cyclase [PDF]
ADP-ribosyl cyclase synthesizes two Ca(2+) messengers by cyclizing NAD to produce cyclic ADP-ribose and exchanging nicotinic acid with the nicotinamide group of NADP to produce nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate. Recombinant Aplysia cyclase was expressed in yeast and co-crystallized with a substrate, nicotinamide.

Ectonucleotidases in Acute and Chronic Inflammation
Ectonucleotidases are extracellular enzymes with a pivotal role in inflammation that hydrolyse extracellular purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, e.g., ATP, UTP, ADP, UDP, AMP and NAD+. Ectonucleotidases, expressed by virtually all cell types, immune cells

Summary: SARM1 is an NAD(P) glycohydrolase and TLR adapter with an essential, prodegenerative role in programmed axon death (Wallerian degeneration). Like other NAD(P)ases, it catalyzes multiple reactions that need to be fully investigated.

Enzymatic and Chemical Syntheses of Vacor Analogs of Nicotinamide Riboside, NMN and NAD
It has recently been demonstrated that the rat poison vacor interferes with mammalian NAD metabolism, because it acts as a nicotinamide analog and is converted by enzymes of the NAD salvage pathway. Thereby, vacor is transformed into the NAD analog vacor
