Abstract
Release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores is a widespread mechanism in regulation of cell function. Two hitherto unknown adenine diphosphonucleotides were recently identified, which trigger Ca2+ release from intracellular stores via channels that are distinct from the well-known receptor/channel controlled by inositol 1,4,5,-trisphosphate (IP3): cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP). Here we review synthesis of cADPR from beta-NAD, its hydrolysis to adenosine diphosphoribose (noncyclic) by cADPR glycohydrolase, as well as our knowledge about the metabolism of NAADP. The Ca2+ release triggered by cADPR, NAADP, or IP3 can be distinguished by the action of inhibitors and by desensitization studies. Evidence now emerges that cADPR synthesis from beta-NAD can be stimulated, at least in some cell types by all-trans-retinoic acid as a first messenger. We then review the properties of cADPR and NAADP as potential second messengers in the intracrine regulation of cell functions. Although their exact role in signaling sequences is not yet known, cADPR and NAADP are likely to play important intracellular regulatory functions, as extensively documented for the process of egg fertilization.
