gene LBRM_17_1470 or lbnmnat, DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, sequence comparisons, primary structure analysis reveals a Leishmania-specific amino-terminal insertion in NMNAT. The deletion of this insertion is negatively correlates with in vitro enzymatic activity. Recombinant expression of His6-tagged enzyme in Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3)
gene NMNAT1, recombinant expression in H-1299 and U2-O2 cells, recombinant co-expression of His6-tagged NMNAT1 and GST-tagged NML in Escherichia coli, co-expression of FLAG-tagged nucleomethylin and Myc-tagged NMNAT1 in H-1299 cells
gene Nmnat1, recombinant expression of mouse Nmnat1 non-nuclear-localized gain-of-function mutant gene (m-nonN-Nmnat1) in Caenorhabditis elegans. The transgenic enzyme provides protection from both hypoxia-induced animal death and taxol-induced axonal pathology and significantly lengthens the nematode's lifespan. Loss of function in two genes, haf-1 and dve-1, encoding mitochondrial unfolded protein response (mitoUPR) factors are identified as suppressors. M-nonN-Nmnat1 induces a transcriptional reporter of the mitoUPR gene hsp-6 and provides protection from the mitochondrial proteostasis toxin ethidium bromide. M-nonN-Nmnat1 is also protective against axonal degeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans induced by the chemotherapy drug taxol. Taxol markedly reduces basal expression of a mitoUPR reporter, the expression is restored by m-nonN-Nmnat1
gene NMNAT2, transfection of hNMNAT2 results in a six- and threefold cytoplasmic overexpression in Caco-2 and HT-29 cell lines, respectively, correlating with Tiazofurin-induced enhanced cell killing
gene Pof1 or YCL047C, DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, sequence comparisons, construction of the POF1-URA3 episomal plasmid (pRS316-POF1) derived from pADH1-POF1, which is constructed in the integrative pPP81 (LEU2) vector, recombinant expression of His-tagged enzyme from plasmid pET28-POF1 in Escherichia coli strain Rosetta (DE3), quantitative PCR expression analysis
gene TcCLB.507047.170 or Tc00.1047053507047.170, DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis from genomic DNA, recombinant expression of N-terminally His6-tagged enzyme in Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3)
genes glnmnat-a and glnmnat-b, encoded on chromosome 3 and 5, respectively, DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, phylogenetic analysis of GlNMNAT isoenzymes, sequence comparisons to human isozymes, recombinant expression of His-tagged glnmnat-a gene product in Escherichia coli strain BL21
