Chemical structures of nucleotides produced by TIR domain enzymes. ADPR, cADPR, 2′cADPR and 3′cADPR are produced by TIR domain-catalyzed hydrolysis of NAD+. Several TIR domains can also catalyze base-exchange reactions where the nicotinamide moiety of NAD+ is replaced by various heterocyclic amines such as 1 (5-iodo-isoquinoline), 2 (1,2-dihydro-2,7-naphthyridin-1-one), 3 (8-amino-isoquinoline), imidazole (I) and histidine, yielding 1AD, 2AD, 3AD, IAD and His-ADPR, respectively. The red line in NAD+ shows the cleavage site that removes the nicotinamide moiety from the ADPR. |
