Enzyme activities were determined as previously described [18 (link)]. Briefly, substrate was continuously converted to NADH through a coupled reaction at 60 °C, and NADH concentration was measured by absorbance changes at 340 nm using a UV-2450 spectrophotometer (Shimazu, Japan) (Additional file 1: Figure S2). The standard mixture was composed of 400 mM HEPES–NaOH (pH 8), 60 mM NH4Cl, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM polyphosphate (Cat: 28-2880-5; Sigma, Germany), 0.2 mM ATP, 1 mM glucose and an excess amount of glucose dehydrogenase (GDH). A moderate amount of the enzyme of interest and an excess of enzymes catalyzing downstream reactions of NAD+ salvage synthesis was added to the standard mixture, so that NADH production rate reflected the activity of the enzyme of interest. Substrates were used at the final concentration of 0.2 mM for determining enzyme activity as follows; deamino-NAD+ (NaAD) for NADS, nicotinate mononucleotide (NaMN) for NaMAT, nicotinate (NA) and phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) for NaPRT, NA and ribose-5-phosphate (R5P) for RPK, NA and ADP-ribose for ADPRP, and NAM and PRPP for NAMase, respectively. The overall performance of the integrated strain was assessed using NAM and ADP-ribose as substrates. Reaction mixtures were incubated at 60 °C for 1 min prior to substrate addition.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
