“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

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 ...

NAD-seq for profiling the NAD+ capped transcriptome of Arabidopsis thaliana
Eukaryotic RNAs can be modified with a non-canonical 5' nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) cap. NAD-seq identifies transcriptome-wide NAD+ capped RNAs. NAD-seq takes advantage of click chemistry to allow the capture of NAD+ capped RNAs. Unlike other approaches, NAD-seq does not require DNA synthesis on beads, but this technique uses full NAD ...

Increased IDO activity towards de novo nicotinamide synthesis is a hallmark of alternatively activated macrophages. IDO upregulation in alternatively activated macrophages may be an attempt to compensate for insufficient NAD availability. Manipulation of nicotinamide metabolism may shift macrophage metabolism, thereby providing a therapeutic approach ...

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 ...

Grabbing the genome by the NADs [PDF]
The regions of the genome that interact frequently with the nucleolus have been termed nucleolar-associated domains (NADs). Deep sequencing and DNA-fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) experiments have revealed that these domains are enriched for repetitive elements, regions of the inactive X chromosome (Xi), and several RNA polymerase III ...

The homospermidine synthases from P. aeruginosa and B. viridis, as well as their single‐residue variants, are compared based on crystal structures and activity assays. A high structural similarity is demonstrated, suggesting the equivalent involvement of relevant residues in the reaction mechanism and catalytic dependence on cation–π interaction ...

Development of the Cerebrospinal Fluid in Early Stage after Hemorrhage in the Central Nervous System
Extravasation of blood in the central nervous system (CNS) represents a very strong damaged associated molecular patterns (DAMP) which is followed by rapid inflammation and can participate in worse outcome of patients.
