Over-expression of NAD kinase in Corynebacterium crenatum and its Impact on L-Arginine Biosynthesis [PDF]
Purpose: To improve the biosynthesis of L-arginine by overexpressing homologous NAD kinase (ppnk) in Corynebacterium crenatum SYPA5-5 and to study its impact in presence of high (HOS) and low oxygen supply (LOS).Methods: A recombinant plasmid (pJC1-tac ...

Calmodulin Is the Fundamental Regulator of NADK-Mediated NAD Signaling in Plants
Calcium (Ca2+) signaling and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) signaling are two basic signal regulation pathways in organisms, playing crucial roles in signal transduction, energy metabolism, stress tolerance, and various developmental processes ...

Lapatinib-binding protein kinases in the African trypanosome: identification of cellular targets for kinase-directed chemical scaffolds. [PDF]
Human African trypanosomiasis is caused by the eukaryotic microbe Trypanosoma brucei. To discover new drugs against the disease, one may use drugs in the clinic for other indications whose chemical scaffolds can be optimized via a medicinal chemistry ...

Activation of Akt by advanced glycation end products (AGEs): involvement of IGF-1 receptor and caveolin-1. [PDF]
Diabetes is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, which in turn facilitates the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs activate signaling proteins such as Src, Akt and ERK1/2.

Increased Adenine Nucleotide Degradation in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy [PDF]
Adenine nucleotides (AdNs: ATP, ADP, AMP) are essential biological compounds that facilitate many necessary cellular processes by providing chemical energy, mediating intracellular signaling, and regulating protein metabolism and solubilization.

MNADK, a novel liver-enriched mitochondrion-localized NAD kinase
Summary NADP+ and its reducing equivalent NADPH are essential for counteracting oxidative damage. Mitochondria are the major source of oxidative stress, since the majority of superoxide is generated from the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Because NADP+
