NAD<sup>+</sup> is a central metabolite participating in core metabolic redox reactions. The prokaryotic NAD synthetase enzyme NadE catalyzes the last step of NAD<sup>+</sup> biosynthesis, converting nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide (NaAD) to NAD<sup>+</sup> Some members of the NadE family use l-glutamine as a nitrogen donor and are named NadE<sup>Gln</sup> Previous gene neighborhood analysis has indicated that the bacterial <i>nadE</i> gene is frequently clustered with the gene encoding the ...[more]
