Calmodulin Is the Fundamental Regulator of NADK-Mediated NAD Signaling in Plants [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
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 ...

Mitochondrial NADK, a Novel Functional Mediator of Tau Toxicity in Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]

open access: yesAlzheimers Dement
Abstract Tau was first described in a 1975 PNAS paper from Marc Kirschner's lab as a brain protein that stimulates the polymerization of tubulin into microtubules (https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.72.5.1858). Unbeknown at that time was the fact that tau is the building block of neurofibrillary tangles, and a central player in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer ...

Knockdown of NADK promotes LUAD ferroptosis via NADPH/FSP1 axis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology
Abstract Background Lung cancer is a serious threat to human health and is the first leading cause of cancer death. Ferroptosis, a newly discovered form of programmed cell death associated with redox homeostasis, is of particular interest in the lung cancer, given the high oxygen environment of lung cancer.

Differential expression of NADK in cancer of the skin: malignant melanoma.

open access: yes, 2023
Skin cancer is diagnosed in nearly 1.5 million patients each year (1). While patients with basal and squamous cell carcinomas are provided with 5-year survival rates at nearly 100% and 90%, respectively, patients diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma (metastatic melanoma) are provided 5-year survival rates at 91.4% at stage I and 24.6% at stage IV (2-5 ...

Adipose tissue macrophage-derived miR-690 modulates adipocyte precursor cell maintenance and adipogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism
Obesity is intricately linked to various metabolic diseases; however, some individuals maintain metabolic health despite being classified as obese. A critical factor underlying this paradox is the expansion of white adipose tissue (WAT), which can occur ...

Niacin Alleviates Browning in Fresh-Cut Potatoes: Regulation of NADPH/NADH Levels Mediates ROS-Redox Homeostasis and the Ascorbate–Glutathione Cycle [PDF]

open access: yesFoods
Niacin contents vary significantly among fresh-cut potato cultivars with different browning sensitivities, whereas its role as a browning inhibitor for fresh-cut produce has not been previously reported.

NMN/NaMN Adenylyltransferase (NMNAT) and NAD Kinase (NADK) Inhibitors: Chemistry and Potential Therapeutic Applications

open access: yesCurrent Medicinal Chemistry, 2011
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) has a crucial role in many cellular processes, both as a coenzyme for redox reactions and as a substrate to donate ADP-ribose units. Thus, enzymes involved in NAD(+) metabolism are attractive targets for drug discovery against a variety of human diseases.

Transcriptional Isoforms of NAD+ kinase regulate oxidative stress resistance and melanoma metastasis [PDF]

open access: yesRedox Biology
Metastasizing cancer cells encounter a multitude of stresses throughout the metastatic cascade. Oxidative stress is known to be a major barrier for metastatic colonization, such that metastasizing cancer cells must rewire their metabolic pathways to ...

Phenylalanine-mediated reprogramming of lipid, pentose phosphate, and energy metabolism delays senescence in Rosa roxburghii fruit [PDF]

open access: yesFood Chemistry: Molecular Sciences
Although phenylalanine can inhibit fruit senescence, its effects on Rosa roxburghii remain unknown. We hypothesized that it delays senescence by modulating fatty acid metabolism, maintaining energy homeostasis, and supporting pentose phosphate pathways ...
