6EDR - PubMed Abstract:
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) is an essential cofactor participating in a variety of important enzyme-catalyzed physiological and pathophysiological processes. Analogues of NAD + provide key and valuable agents for investigating NAD + -dependent enzymes. In this study, we report the preparation of a novel stable NAD + mimic, 4'-thioribose NAD + (S-NAD + ), using a facile and efficient chemoenzymatic approach. Substrate activity assays indicated the resulting S-NAD + is chemically inert to human CD38 and sirtuin 2 enzymes, but capable of participating in redox reactions in a manner similar to NAD + . X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed binding of S-NAD + to the active site of human CD38 and critical residues involved in leaving group activation and catalysis. By more closely mimicking NAD + in geometry and electrostatics, the generated S-NAD + offers a unique and important tool that can be extended to study enzymes utilizing NAD + .
