Flavonoid Apigenin Is an Inhibitor of the NAD+ase CD38: Implications for Cellular NAD+ Metabolism, Protein Acetylation, and Treatment of Metabolic Syndrome [PDF]
Metabolic syndrome is a growing health problem worldwide. It is therefore imperative to develop new strategies to treat this pathology. In the past years, the manipulation of NAD+ metabolism has emerged as a plausible strategy to ameliorate metabolic ...

ADP-Ribosyl Cyclase in Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells [PDF]
Abstract —We investigated whether ADP-ribosyl cyclase (ADPR-cyclase) in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) has enzymatic properties that differ from the well-characterized CD38-antigen ADPR-cyclase, expressed in HL-60 cells. ADPR-cyclase from VSMCs, but not CD38 ADPR-cyclase from HL-60 cells, was inhibited by gangliosides

Multiomic analysis revealed the regulatory role of the KRT14 gene in eggshell quality
Background: Eggshell strength and thickness are critical factors in reducing the egg breaking rate and preventing economic losses. The calcite biomineralization process is very important for eggshell quality.

Molecular mechanism and functional role of brefeldin A-mediated ADP-ribosylation of CtBP1/BARS [PDF]
ADP-ribosylation is a posttranslational modification that modulates the functions of many target proteins. We previously showed that the fungal toxin brefeldin A (BFA) induces the ADP-ribosylation of C-terminal-binding protein-1 short-form/BFA-ADP ...

The roles of oxytocin and CD38 in social or parental behaviors
The nine amino acid peptide oxytocin (OXT) has been directly associated with different types of behavioral reactions. The formation and maintenance of social relationships in youth and middle age are important components of human mental health. A deficit

From Pharmacophore to Warhead: NAD+‐Targeting Triazoles as Mechanism‐Based Sirtuin Inhibitors
We report “Sirtuin Trapping Ligands” (SirTraps), mechanism‐based 1,2,3‐triazole inhibitors that hijack sirtuin (SIRT) catalysis to form covalent triazolium– or triazole–ADP‐ribose (ADPR) adducts from NAD+. These trapped intermediates stall the enzyme in an inactive state, providing a biocompatible alternative to thiocarbonyl inhibitors and a blueprint ...

ADP‐ribosyl cyclase coupled with receptors via G proteins [PDF]
Crude cell membranes in mammalian cells contain ADP‐ribosyl cyclase, which converts NAD+ to cyclic ADP‐ribose. Acetylcholine either increases or inhibits this activity in NG108‐15 neuronal cells and adrenal chromaffin cells in a muscarinic receptor subtype‐specific manner.
