Metabolic Profiling of Alternative NAD Biosynthetic Routes in Mouse Tissues
NAD plays essential redox and non-redox roles in cell biology. In mammals, its de novo and recycling biosynthetic pathways encompass two independent branches, the "amidated" and "deamidated" routes. Here we focused on the indispensable enzymes gating these two routes, i.e. nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase (NMNAT), which in mammals comprises three distinct isozymes, and NAD synthe...
متن کاملEvolution of NAD Biosynthetic Enzymes
to expose a new hydrophobic patch that in the dimeric structure buries 890 Å2 of surface area. The hydrophobic patch is conserved throughout this family of response regulators, which suggests that it may be important for biological function. Activation would therefore require significant flexibility in the hinge or linker region and loss of interdomain contacts to allow the symmetric head-to-he...
متن کاملNAD-biosynthetic enzyme NMNAT1 reduces early behavioral impairment in the htau mouse model of tauopathy
NAD metabolism and the NAD biosynthetic enzymes nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferases (NMNATs) are thought to play a key neuroprotective role in tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease. Here, we investigated whether modulating the expression of the NMNAT nuclear isoform NMNAT1, which is important for neuronal maintenance, influences the development of behavioral and neuropathological ...
متن کاملNMR metabonomic study of lung cancer: metabolic profiling of tissues
This work aims to evaluate the potential of H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy combined with multivariate statistics (metabonomics) for finding malignancy biomarkers in lung tissue and discriminating between different tumour histological types. Paired tissue samples from 32 patients with primary lung cancer were directly analysed by H High Resolution Magic Angle Spinning (HRMAS) NM...
متن کاملNMR-based plasma metabolic profiling in patients with unstable angina
Objective(s): Unstable angina (UA) is a form of the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that affects more than a third of the population before age 70. Due to the limitations of diagnostic tests, appropriate identification of UA is difficult. In this study, we proceeded to investigate metabolite profiling in UA patients compared with controls to determine potential candidate...
