Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from Streptomyces aureofaciens exhibited activity with both NAD and NADP, the maximum reaction rate being 1.6 times higher for NAD-linked activity than for the NADP-linked one. The KM values for NAD-linked activity were 2.5 mM for glucose-6-phosphate and 0.27 mM for NAD, and for NADP-linked activity 0.8 mM for glucose-6-phosphate and 0.08 mM for NADP. NAD- and NADP-linked activities were inhibited by both NADH and NADPH. (2'-phospho-)adenosinediphospho-ribose inhibited only NAD-linked activity. The inhibition was competitive with respect to NAD and noncompetitive with respect to glucose-6-phosphate.

SARM1 regulates NAD-linked metabolism and select immune genes in macrophages.

J Biol Chem

February 2024

School of Biochemistry and Immunology, Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland. Electronic address:

Sterile alpha and HEAT/armadillo motif-containing protein (SARM1) was recently described as a NAD-consuming enzyme and has previously been shown to regulate immune responses in macrophages. Neuronal SARM1 is known to contribute to axon degeneration due to its NADase activity. However, how SARM1 affects macrophage metabolism has not been explored.

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is one of three major models of carbon dioxide assimilation pathway with better water-use efficiency and slower photosynthetic efficiency in photosynthesis. Previous studies indicated that the gene of sweet pepper plant ferredoxin-like protein (PFLP) shows high homology to the ferredoxin-1(Fd-1) family that belongs to photosynthetic type Fd and involves in photosystem I. It is speculated that overexpressing pflp in the transgenic plant may enhance photosynthetic efficiency through the electron transport chain (ETC).

6-Ketocholestanol (kCh) is known as a mitochondrial recoupler, i.e. it abolishes uncoupling of mitochondria by such potent agents as carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP) and 3,5-di(tert-butyl)-4-hydroxybenzylidenemalononitril (SF6847) [Starkov et al.

Telomeres are specialized nucleoprotein structures that form protective caps at the ends of chromosomes. Short telomeres are a hallmark of aging and a principal defining feature of short telomere syndromes, including dyskeratosis congenita (DC). Emerging evidence suggests a crucial role for critically short telomere-induced DNA damage signaling and mitochondrial dysfunction in cellular dysfunction in DC.
