Structure, 2004 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 ...

Characterization of the Active Site of ADP-ribosyl Cyclase [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 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.

Cd38/Adp-Ribosyl Cyclase [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1999 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.

Conceptual framework for SARS-CoV-2–related lymphopenia
Advanced Biomedical Research, 2022 The emerging of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates globally. One of the most prominent characteristics of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is lymphopenia, which is ...

Ectonucleotidases in Acute and Chronic Inflammation
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 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

Enzymatic and Chemical Syntheses of Vacor Analogs of Nicotinamide Riboside, NMN and NAD
Biomolecules, 2021 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
