Introduction: β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (β-NMN) is an essential precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and plays a key role in supplying NAD and maintaining its levels. Existing methods for NMN production have some limitations, including low substrate availability, complex synthetic routes, and low synthetic efficiency, which result in low titers and high costs.
Methods: We constructed high-titer, genetically engineered strains that produce NMN through a new pathway. WB600 was used as a safe chassis strain. Multiple strains overexpressing , , and in various combinations were constructed, and NMN titers of different strains were compared via shake-flask culture.
Results: The results revealed that the strain exhibited the highest total and extracellular NMN titers. Subsequently, the engineered strains were cultured in a 5-L fermenter using batch and fed-batch fermentation. achieved an NMN titer of 3,398 mg/L via fed-batch fermentation and glucose supplementation, which was 30.72% higher than that achieved via batch fermentation.
Discussion: This study provides a safe and economical approach for producing NMN on an industrial scale.

Hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) preconditions liver grafts before transplantation. While beneficial effects on patient outcomes were demonstrated, biomarkers for viability assessment during HOPE are scarce and lack validation. This study aims to validate the predictive potential of perfusate flavin mononucleotide (FMN) during HOPE to enable the implementation of FMN-based assessment into clinical routine and to identify safe organ acceptance thresholds.

β-Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), as the precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), plays an important role in enhancing NAD levels. Intake of NMN can alter the composition and vitality of gut microbiota, restore mitochondrial function, inhibit inflammatory pathways, improve metabolism, counteract oxidative stress, and alleviate inflammation. NMN significantly improves recovery from aging-related diseases, such as diminished heart function, reduced fertility, memory decline, and diabetes.

Dinucleases of the DEDD superfamily, such as oligoribonuclease, Rexo2 and nanoRNase C, catalyze the essential final step of RNA degradation, the conversion of di- to mononucleotides. The active sites of these enzymes are optimized for substrates that are two nucleotides long, and do not discriminate between RNA and DNA. Here, we identified a novel DEDD subfamily, members of which function as dedicated deoxydinucleases (diDNases) that specifically hydrolyze single-stranded DNA dinucleotides in a sequence-independent manner.

Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is a widespread problem in the elderly, significantly impairing their quality of life. Despite its high prevalence, no fundamental treatment for ARHL has been established. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is required for various biological processes and tissue levels of the coenzyme NAD are known to decrease with age.

Context: Riboflavin (RF), also known as B2 vitamin, is the precursor to flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), two co-enzymes involved in many electron transport processes. Interactions of the isoalloxazine ring, common to all three compounds, are of great interest due to their biological function in flavoproteins and relevance in the transport by the carrier protein leading to development of drug delivery strategies and non-invasive diagnostics techniques. Based on protein crystallographic data, a computational investigation of the interactions in the complexes between lumiflavin, a model compound, and aromatic amino acids, tyrosine and tryptophan, was pursued with the goal of characterizing noncovalent interactions.
