Metabolism of NAD+ in nuclei of Saccharomyces cerevisiae during stimulation of its biosynthesis by nicotinamide
Abstract
The activities of nuclear enzymes involved in NAD+ metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain 913a-1 and its mutant 110 previously selected as an NAD+ producer were investigated. The presence of extracellular nicotinamide increased the total NAD+ pool in the cells and increased [3H]nicotinic acid incorporation; however, NAD+ concentration in isolated nuclei decreased slightly. The stimulating effect of nicotinamide on intracellular synthesis of NAD+ correlated with increases in ADP-ribosyl transferase, NAD+-pyrophosphorylase, and NAD+ase activities.
