“NAD-capQ” detection and quantitation of NAD caps [PDF]
RNA 5′ cap structures comprising the metabolic effector nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) have been identified in diverse organisms. Here we report a simple, two-step procedure to detect and quantitate NAD-capped RNA, termed “NAD-capQ.” By use of NAD-capQ we quantitate NAD-capped RNA levels in Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and human

The aim of the study was to assess the level of NAD+ in the brain of mice treated with beta-amyloid (Aβ), as well as to determine the activity of ADP-ribosyl cyclase/CD38 and the number of CD38-immunopositive neurons, astrocytes and endothelial cells ...

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Formal potential of the NAD+/NAD· couple and NAD· dimerization rate [PDF]
The rate constant, kd, for the dimerization of the free radical (NAD), produced on the initial one-electron reduction of NAD+, was measured by double potential-step chronoamperometry, fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (cathodic-anodic peak current ratio) and slow-scan cyclic voltammetry (peak potential shift) for a medium in which neither NAD+ nor its ...

Assays for NAD+-Dependent Reactions and NAD+ Metabolites [PDF]
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential redox cofactor and signaling molecule that controls the activity of enzymes involved in metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular survival, such as the PARPs, CD38, and the sirtuins. Here, we describe three methods for measuring the activity of these enzymes: the etheno-NAD+ assay measures NAD ...

Protective role of p53 in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy as a mitochondrial disease
Doxorubicin is widely used against cancer but carries the risk of a progressive cardiomyopathy associated with mitochondrial loss. Using genetic models, our recent study demonstrates that mitochondrial genomic DNA regulation by tumor protein p53 (TP53 ...

Studies of the last decade reveal a new sight on the possible link between aging processes and circadian rhythm. New data on the role of the NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase SIRT1 in the integration of regulation pathways for circadian rhythms and ...

Nicotinamide prevention in diabetes-induced alterations in the rat liver
Objective. The study was performed to elucidate whether nicotinamide (NAm) can attenuate the diabetes-induced liver damage by correction of ammonia detoxifying function and disbalance of NAD-dependent processes in diabetic rats.

It takes two to tango: NAD+ and sirtuins in aging/longevity control [PDF]
The coupling of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) breakdown and protein deacylation is a unique feature of the family of proteins called ‘sirtuins.’ This intimate connection between NAD+ and sirtuins has an ancient origin and provides a ...
