Journal ArticleDOI

p53 Activation by Knockdown Technologies

TL;DR: It is shown here that MO off-targeting results in induction of a p53-dependent cell death pathway, and p53 inhibition could potentially be applicable to other systems to suppress off- target effects caused by other knockdown technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

NAD+ metabolism in health and disease.

TL;DR: Nicotinamide riboside, the recently discovered nucleoside precursor of NAD(+ in eukaryotic systems, might have advantages as a therapy to elevate NAD(+) without inhibiting sirtuins, which is associated with high-dose nicotinamide, or incurring the unpleasant side-effects of high- dose nicotinic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discoveries of Nicotinamide Riboside as a Nutrient and Conserved NRK Genes Establish a Preiss-Handler Independent Route to NAD+ in Fungi and Humans

TL;DR: The accepted view of eukaryotic NAD+ biosynthesis, that all anabolism flows through nicotinic acid mononucleotide, was challenged experimentally and revealed that nicotinamide riboside is an unanticipated NAD+ precursor in yeast.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nicotinic Acid, Nicotinamide, and Nicotinamide Riboside: A Molecular Evaluation of NAD+ Precursor Vitamins in Human Nutrition

TL;DR: Prospects for human nicotinamide riboside supplementation are presented and areas for future research are proposed to enhance reverse cholesterol transport and protect against neurological degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring the mode-of-action of bioactive compounds by chemical-genetic profiling in yeast.

TL;DR: A compendium of "chemical-genetic interaction" profiles by testing the collection of viable yeast haploid deletion mutants for hypersensitivity to 82 compounds and natural product extracts is generated, found to disrupt calcium homeostasis and phosphatidylserine was recognized as a target for papuamide B, a cytotoxic lipopeptide with anti-HIV activity.
