The effector AvrRxo1 phosphorylates NAD in planta. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2017
Gram-negative bacterial pathogens of plants and animals employ type III secreted effectors to suppress innate immunity. Most characterized effectors work through modification of host proteins or transcriptional regulators, although a few are known to ...

Endogenous nicotinamide riboside metabolism protects against diet-induced liver damage

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) sustains cellular energy metabolism, functions as a substrate of Sirt and PARP enzymes, and its supplementation is explored therapeutically in aging and other contexts.

The Human G Protein-Coupled ATP Receptor P2Y11 Is Associated With IL-10 Driven Macrophage Differentiation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
The G protein-coupled P2Y11 receptor is known to sense extracellular ATP during inflammatory and immune responses. The dinucleotide NAD+ has also been proposed to be a P2Y11 receptor ligand but its role is less clear. Here, we have examined for the first

Extracellular Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase Is a Component of the Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Cellular senescence is a stress or damage response by which a cell adopts of state of essentially permanent proliferative arrest, coupled to the secretion of a number of biologically active molecules. This senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP)

Cisplatin-Induced Kidney Toxicity: Potential Roles of Major NAD+-Dependent Enzymes and Plant-Derived Natural Products

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
Cisplatin is an FDA approved anti-cancer drug that is widely used for the treatment of a variety of solid tumors. However, the severe adverse effects of cisplatin, particularly kidney toxicity, restrict its clinical and medication applications. The major

Stereoisomer-specific ginsenoside 20(S)-Rg3 reverses replicative senescence of human diploid fibroblasts via Akt-mTOR-Sirtuin signaling

open access: yesJournal of Ginseng Research, 2020
Background: The replicative senescence of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) is accompanied by growth arrest. In our previous study, the treatment of senescent HDFs with Rg3(S) lowered the intrinsic reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and reversed cellular

The NAD Kinases of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1970
Subcellular fractions of a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been prepared by enzymic digestion of the cell walls, osmotic lysis of the protoplasts and sorbitol density gradient centrifugation of the lysate. The mitochondrial fraction has both NAD‐ and NADH‐phosphorylating enzymes, whilst the cytoplasm contains a single NAD‐specific kinase. These

Photoactivation of NAD Kinase through Phytochrome [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1975
The specificities of phosphate donors and the effects of metal chelating agents and divalent metal ions on NAD kinase activation by phytochrome-far red-absorbing form (Pfr) were examined. ATP was the most efficient phosphorylating agent. Uridine 5'-triphosphate, cytidine 5'-triphosphate (CTP), inosine 5'-triphosphate, and guanosine 5'-triphosphate in ...

Nicotinamide riboside kinases display redundancy in mediating nicotinamide mononucleotide and nicotinamide riboside metabolism in skeletal muscle cells

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2017
Objective: Augmenting nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) availability may protect skeletal muscle from age-related metabolic decline. Dietary supplementation of NAD+ precursors nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and nicotinamide riboside (NR) appear

Molecular characterization of Escherichia coli NAD kinase [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 2001
NAD kinase was purified to homogeneity from Escherichia coli MG1655. The enzyme was a hexamer consisting of 30 kDa subunits and utilized ATP or other nucleoside triphosphates as phosphoryl donors for the phosphorylation of NAD, most efficiently at pH 7.5 and 60 °C.
