Molecular bases of catalysis and ADP-ribose preference of human Mn2+-dependent ADP-ribose/CDP-alcohol diphosphatase and conversion by mutagenesis to a preferential cyclic ADP-ribose phosphohydrolase. [PDF]
Among metallo-dependent phosphatases, ADP-ribose/CDP-alcohol diphosphatases form a protein family (ADPRibase-Mn-like) mainly restricted, in eukaryotes, to vertebrates and plants, with preferential expression, at least in rodents, in immune cells. Rat and

Does Cyclic ADP-Ribose (cADPR) Activate the Non-selective Cation Channel TRPM2? [PDF]
TRPM2 is a non-selective, Ca2+-permeable cation channel widely expressed in immune cells. It is firmly established that the channel can be activated by intracellular adenosine 5′-diphosphoribose (ADPR).

Inhibition of CD38/Cyclic ADP-ribose Pathway Protects Rats against Ropivacaine-induced Convulsion [PDF]
Background: The CD38/cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) pathway plays a role in various central nervous system diseases and in morphine tolerance, but its role in local anesthetic intoxication is unknown.

Cyclic ADP-ribose and heat regulate oxytocin release via CD38 and TRPM2 in the hypothalamus during social or psychological stress in mice [PDF]
Hypothalamic oxytocin (OT) is released into the brain by cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) with or without depolarizing stimulation. Previously, we showed that the intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) that seems to trigger OT release can be ...

A Cell-Permeant Mimetic of NMN Activates SARM1 to Produce Cyclic ADP-Ribose and Induce Non-apoptotic Cell Death [PDF]
Summary: SARM1, an NAD-utilizing enzyme, regulates axonal degeneration. We show that CZ-48, a cell-permeant mimetic of NMN, activated SARM1 in vitro and in cellulo to cyclize NAD and produce a Ca2+ messenger, cADPR, with similar efficiency as NMN ...

Cyclic ADP-Ribose and Calcium Signaling in Eggs
Cyclic ADP-ribose is a cyclic nucleotide with Ca2+ signaling functions. It was first discovered in sea urchin eggs and has since been shown to be active in a variety of cells. Another Ca2+ release mechanism recently described in the eggs is mediated by nicotinic acid dinucleotide phosphate, a derivative of NADP+. This article summarizes current results

Crystal structures and snapshots along Tpt1-catalyzed phosphate transfer from nucleic acid to NAD+ [PDF]
Tpt1/TRPT1/KptA family proteins are evolutionarily conserved in all three domains of life. In fungi and plants, Tpt1 transfers 2’-PO4 2- from tRNA splice junction to NAD+, which is the final step of tRNA maturation and is critical for the function of ...
