Application

Application Comment Organism
drug development te enzyme is required for the biosynthesis of NAD. Besides the de novo pathway for NAD synthesis, a salvage pathway exists in some organisms allowing NAD to be recycled from nicotinic acid and nicotinamide. Some pathogens such as Mycobacterium leprae and Helicobacter pylori lack this salvage pathway. The different pathways for quinolinate biosynthesis in most prokaryotes and eukaryotes, combined with the fact that the salvage pathway is absent in some pathogenic microorganisms, make enzyme NadA an ideal target in the search for specific antibacterial drugs Escherichia coli K-12

Reaction

Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
glycerone phosphate + iminosuccinate = pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylate + 2 H2O + phosphate reaction mechanism with an early release of phosphate from dihydroxyacetone phosphate, that only, not glycerol 3-phosphate, can condense with iminoaspartate to form quinolinate. The NadA three-dimensional structure shows that there is no room in the active site to accommodate a condensation product on which the phosphate group from dihydroxyacetone phosphate is still present, overview. The enzyme has a triose phosphate isomerase activity catalyzing the reversible isomerization of glycerol 3-phosphate into dihydroxyacetone phosphate in an Fe/S-dependent manner Escherichia coli K-12

additional information the enzyme has a triose phosphate isomerase activity catalyzing the reversible isomerization of glycerol 3-phosphate into dihydroxyacetone phosphate in an Fe/S-dependent manner. Only dihydroxyacetone phosphate can then condense with iminoaspartate to form quinolinate. If glycerol 3-phosphate is not converted to dihydroxyacetone phosphate no quinolinate can be produced. The enzyme as triose phosphate isomerase is more efficient in the direction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate production Escherichia coli K-12 ?
