title: A cycling assay for the determination of mono(adenosine-5'-diphosphoribose)-protein bound conjugate levels in mouse tissues.
abstract: Adenosine-5'-diphosphoribose (ADPR) is quantitatively split into 5'-AMP and ribose phosphate by treatment with alkali at elevated temperature. The 5'-AMP is used to generate NAD through a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. The NAD is then determined with a cycling assay modified after E.L. Jacobson and M.K. Jacobson [(1976) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 175, 627-634]. The specificity of this assay has been verified. With this method the levels of mono(ADPR)-protein bound conjugate in various mouse tissues have been determined.
