Nicotinamide-nucleotide adenylyltransferase (NMNAT) (EC 2.7.7.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible chemical reaction that produces nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide from adenosine triphosphate and nicotinamide mononucleotide.

Function

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a coenzyme found in all cells.[1] It is produced by nicotinamide-nucleotide adenylyltransferase, which combines adenosine triphosphate and nicotinamide mononucleotide, with inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) produced as a byproduct:

The enzyme has been characterised from mammalian liver, Escherichia coli and yeast.[2][3][4]

Humans have three protein isoforms: NMNAT1 (widespread), NMNAT2 (predominantly in brain), and NMNAT3 (highest in liver, heart, skeletal muscle, and erythrocytes).[5] Mutations in the NMNAT1 gene lead to the LCA9 form of Leber congenital amaurosis.[5] Mutations in NMNAT2 or NMNAT3 genes are not known to cause any human disease.[5] NMNAT2 is critical for neurons: loss of NMNAT2 is associated with neurodegeneration.[5] All NMNAT isoforms reportedly decline with age.[6]

Isoform cellular localization

The three protein isoforms have the following cellular localizations[7]

All three NMNATs compete for the nicotinamide mononucleotide produced by nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase.[8]

Nomenclature

This enzyme is a transferases, specifically one transferring phosphorus-containing nucleotide groups (nucleotidyltransferases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:nicotinamide-nucleotide adenylyltransferase. Other names in common use include NAD+ pyrophosphorylase, adenosine triphosphate-nicotinamide mononucleotide transadenylase, ATP:NMN adenylyltransferase, diphosphopyridine nucleotide pyrophosphorylase, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide pyrophosphorylase, nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase, and NMN adenylyltransferase.[9]

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 11 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes PDB: 1EJ2​, PDB: 1GZU​, PDB: 1HYB​, PDB: 1KKU​, PDB: 1KQN​, PDB: 1KQO​, PDB: 1KR2​, PDB: 1M8F​, PDB: 1M8G​, PDB: 1M8J​, and PDB: 1M8K​.

Clinical significance

Chronic inflammation due to obesity and other causes reduced NMNAT and NAD+ levels in many tissues.[10]
