EC 4.3.99.6

Accepted name: 2'-cyclic-ADP-D-ribose synthase

Reaction: NAD+ = (1''-2')-cyclic adenosine diphosphate-β-D-ribose + nicotinamide

Glossary: (1''-2')-cyclic adenosine diphosphate-β-D-ribose = 1,2'-anhydroadenine(5')diphosphate(5)-β-D-ribose = 1''-2' glycocyclic ADP-β-D-ribose = (1''-2')-cyclic ADP-β-D-ribose = 2'-cADPR = 1''-2' gcADPR = v-cADPR

Other name(s): 2'cADPR synthase; AbTIR; L6 (gene name); ROQ1 (gene name)

Systematic name: NAD+ lyase [(1''-2')-cyclic adenosine diphosphate-β-D-ribose-forming]

Comments: The enzyme, found in plants and bacteria, contains a TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor) domain. Activity requires self-association into larger aggregates. In plants (1''-2')-cyclic adenosine diphosphate-β-D-ribose triggers localized cell death in response to infections [1-3]. The bacterial enzyme was shown to form filamentous structures, with substrate molecules present between the monomers [4]. cf. EC 4.3.99.7, 3'-cyclic-ADP-D-ribose synthase, and EC 3.2.2.6, ADP-ribosyl cyclase/cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase.
