title: Purification and properties of a mitochondrial NAD+ glycohydrolase.
abstract: A 60- to 70-fold purification of an NAD+ glycohydrolase from the inner membrane of rat liver mitochondria to apparent homogeneity on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide slab gel is described. The minimum molecular weight of the enzyme on polyacrylamide gels in the presence of SDS is around 62,000. The enzyme splits NAD+ to ADP-ribose and, presumably, nicotinamide. No phosphatase or phosphodiesterase activity is detected in the purified enzyme preparation. The enzyme shows high activity with NAD+ and moderate activity with NADP+ as substrates NAD(P)Hs are poor substrates. ATP and nicotinamide inhibit the enzyme. A possible participation of the enzyme in the mechanism of calcium release from rat liver mitochondria is discussed.
