NAD+ metabolism: pathophysiologic mechanisms and therapeutic potential
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) and its metabolites function as critical regulators to maintain physiologic processes, enabling the plastic cells to adapt to environmental changes including nutrient perturbation, genotoxic factors, circadian ...

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 ...

Abstract Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is crucial for cell energy metabolism and many signalling processes. Recently, we proved the role of ecto‐enzymes in controlling adenine nucleotide–dependent pathways during calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD).

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 ...

Increased demand for NAD+ relative to ATP drives aerobic glycolysis
Aerobic glycolysis, or preferential fermentation of glucose-derived pyruvate to lactate despite available oxygen, is a hallmark of proliferative metabolism that is observed across many organisms and conditions. To better understand why aerobic glycolysis

The essential schistosome tegumental ectoenzyme SmNPP5 can block NAD-induced T cell apoptosis
Infection with intravascular platyhelminths of the genus Schistosoma can result in the debilitating disease schistosomiasis. Schistosomes (blood flukes) can survive in the host for many years.

NAD(P)H oxidase: role in cardiovascular biology and disease.
Reactive oxygen species have emerged as important molecules in cardiovascular function. Recent work has shown that NAD(P)H oxidases are major sources of superoxide in vascular cells and myocytes.
