From the Pyridine dinucleotides (NAD and NADP) are
ubiquitous cofactors involved in hundreds of redox reactions essential
for the energy transduction and metabolism in all living cells. In
addition, NAD also serves as a substrate for ADP-ribosylation of a
number of nuclear proteins, for silent information regulator 2 (Sir2)-like histone deacetylase that is involved in gene silencing
regulation, and for cyclic ADP ribose (cADPR)-dependent
Ca2+ signaling. Pyridine nucleotide
adenylyltransferase (PNAT) is an indispensable central enzyme in the
NAD biosynthesis pathways catalyzing the condensation of pyridine
mononucleotide (NMN or NaMN) with the AMP moiety of ATP to form NAD (or
NaAD). Here we report the identification and structural
characterization of a novel human PNAT (hsPNAT-3) that is located in
the cytoplasm and mitochondria. Its subcellular localization and tissue
distribution are distinct from the previously identified human nuclear
PNAT-1 and PNAT-2. Detailed structural analysis of PNAT-3 in its apo form and in complex with its substrate(s) or product revealed the
catalytic mechanism of the enzyme. The characterization of the
cytosolic human PNAT-3 provided compelling evidence that the final
steps of NAD biosynthesis pathways may exist in mammalian cytoplasm and
mitochondria, potentially contributing to their NAD/NADP pool.
