Disease relevance of nicotinamide mononucleotide

Since NAD is the cofactor for polynucleotide ligase in Bacillus subtilis and NMN is known to discharge AMP from the active AMP ligase complex, it is proposed that activation of DNA ligase reduces dTMP incorporation by reducing sites for, or limiting DNA polymerase I action [1].

High impact information on nicotinamide mononucleotide

The use of NMN provides a direct means for evaluating the involvement of DNA polymerase I in excision repair [2].
A pnuB mutant, however, does not require the pnuA gene product for NMN uptake but does rely on the pnuC product [3].
