  • Metabolic Tracing of NAD Precursors Using Strategically Labelled Isotopes of NMN
    A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Metabolic tracing of NAD+ precursors using strategically labelled isotopes of NMN by Lynn-Jee Kim Supervisors Dr. Lindsay E. Wu (Primary) Prof. David A. Sinclair (Joint-Primary) Dr. Lake-Ee Quek (Co-supervisor) School of Medical Sciences Faculty of Medicine Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname/Family Name: Kim Given Name/s: Lynn-Jee Abbreviation for degree as give in PhD the University calendar: Faculty: Faculty of Medicine School: School of Medical Sciences + Thesis Title: Metabolic tracing of NAD precursors using strategically labelled isotopes of NMN Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an important cofactor and substrate for hundreds of cellular processes involved in redox homeostasis, DNA damage repair and the stress response. NAD+ declines with biological ageing and in age-related diseases such as diabetes and strategies to restore intracellular NAD+ levels are emerging as a promising strategy to protect against metabolic dysfunction, treat age-related conditions and promote healthspan and longevity. One of the most effective ways to increase NAD+ is through pharmacological supplementation with NAD+ precursors such as nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) which can be orally delivered. Long term administration of NMN in mice mitigates age-related physiological decline and alleviates the pathophysiologies associated with a high fat diet- and age-induced diabetes. Despite such efforts, there are certain aspects of NMN metabolism that are poorly understood. In this thesis, the mechanisms involved in the utilisation and transport of orally administered NMN were investigated using strategically labelled isotopes of NMN and mass spectrometry.

However, NAD+ is a key metabolite that impacts the entire metabolome. Therefore, it is necessary to elucidate exactly how manipulating NAD+ biosynthetic pathways can lead to therapeutic benefits. Also, it is imperative to characterize the unexpected adverse reactions to manipulating the biosynthetic pathways to fully utilize this target for drug discovery. The goal of our research is to understand how NAD+ homeostasis is maintained to support its core metabolic roles and its signaling and regulatory roles involving NAD+ consumers.

  • Thiamine Pyrophosphate
    CO-ENZYMES Coenzymes are organic non-protein molecules that bind with the protein molecule (apoenzyme) to form the active enzyme (holoenzyme). » Coenzymes are small molecules. » They cannot catalyze a reaction by themselves but they can help enzymes to do so. Example: Thiamine pyrophosphate, FAD, pantothenic acid etc. Salient features of coenzyme: Coenzymes are heat stable. They are low-molecular weight substances. The coenzymes combine loosely with the enzyme molecules and so, the coenzyme can be separated easily by dialysis. When the reaction is completed, the coenzyme is released from the apo-enzyme, and goes to some other reaction site. Thiamine pyrophosphate: Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), or thiamine diphosphate (ThDP), is a thiamine derivative, is also known as vitamin B1. Biological Function of Thiamine pyrophosphate: It maintains: The normal function of the heart; Normal carbohydrate and energy-yielding metabolism; The normal function of the nervous system; Normal neurological development and function; Normal psychological functions. Flavin Coenzymes: Flavin mono nucleotide (FMN) Flavin adenine di nucleotide (FMD) Flavin is the common name for a group of organic compounds based on pteridine,. The biochemical source is the riboflavin. It is commonly know as Vitamin B2. The flavin often attached with an adenosine diphosphate to form flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD),and, in other circumstances, is found as flavin mononucleotide (FMN). Biological Functions and Importance: Normal energy-yielding metabolism; Normal metabolism of iron in the body; The maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes; The maintenance of normal red blood cells; The maintenance of normal vision; The maintenance of the normal function of the nervous system. TH4 or Tetrahydrofolic acid: Tetrahydrofolic acid, or tetrahydrofolate, is a folic acid derivative.

  • Cytoplastic Nad+ Biosynthesis Affects Gonad Development In
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology CYTOPLASTIC NAD+ BIOSYNTHESIS AFFECTS GONAD DEVELOPMENT IN CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS A Thesis in Biochemistry, Microbiology and Molecular Biology by Muya Shu © 2016 Muya Shu Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science May 2016 ii The thesis of Muya Shu was reviewed and approved* by the following: Wendy Hanna-Rose Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Thesis Advisor Lorraine Santy Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Zhi-Chun Lai Professor of Biology and Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Scott B. Selleck Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Head of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT In recent years, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) has gained renewed attention from scientists. This is because NAD+ serves not only as a cofactor but also as a substrate for numerous enzymes that are widely dispersed in cellular signaling reactions. These signaling pathways affect many aspects of organisms, like aging, development, circadian rhythm and axon pathology. However, the mechanism that NAD+ homeostasis influences development is still elusive. In my project, I used the C. elegans pnc-1(pk9506) mutant as a model to understand why blocked NAD+ salvage biosynthesis delays gonad development. Our lab has found that blocking salvage NAD+ biosynthesis affects gonad developmental progression in worms. My project was to investigate the mechanism linking NAD+ production to gonad development in C. elegans. Because the block in salvage synthesis had already been linked to a deficit in glycolysis, I hypothesized that disrupted glycolysis caused by NAD+ deficiency leads to the gonad developmental defects.

Outre ses rôles dans le recyclage rédox, le NAD est aussi impliqué dans des processus de signalisation cellulaire, particulièrement sollicités en situation de stress. Cela fait du NAD l’un des déterminants majeurs de l’homéostasie énergétique des plantes et donc des rendements des cultures. Par une approche de génétique inverse ciblant la L-aspartate oxydase (AO), première enzyme de la voie de biosynthèse du NAD, nous avons obtenu des plantes aux teneurs constitutivement augmentées et diminuées en nucléotides à pyridine. L’étude de ces plantes a permis d’établir que (1) le NAD stimule la croissance, le développement et la productivité des plantes, (2) coordonne les métabolismes photosynthétique, respiratoire et azoté, et (3) intervient dans les mécanismes de résistance aux stress biotiques et abiotiques.
