Paracrine ADP Ribosyl Cyclase-Mediated Regulation of Biological Processes

ADP-ribosyl cyclases (ADPRCs) catalyze the synthesis of the Ca<sup>2+</sup>-active second messengers Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and ADP-ribose (ADPR) from NAD<sup>+</sup> as well as nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP<sup>+</sup>) from NADP<sup&...

description ADP-ribosyl cyclases (ADPRCs) catalyze the synthesis of the Ca<sup>2+</sup>-active second messengers Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and ADP-ribose (ADPR) from NAD<sup>+</sup> as well as nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP<sup>+</sup>) from NADP<sup>+</sup>. The best characterized ADPRC in mammals is CD38, a single-pass transmembrane protein with two opposite membrane orientations. The first identified form, type II CD38, is a glycosylated ectoenzyme, while type III CD38 has its active site in the cytosol. The ectoenzymatic nature of type II CD38 raised long ago the question of a topological paradox concerning the access of the intracellular NAD<sup>+</sup> substrate to the extracellular active site and of extracellular cADPR product to its intracellular receptors, ryanodine (RyR) channels. Two different transporters, equilibrative connexin 43 (Cx43) hemichannels for NAD<sup>+</sup> and concentrative nucleoside transporters (CNTs) for cADPR, proved to mediate cell-autonomous trafficking of both nucleotides. Here, we discussed how type II CD38, Cx43 and CNTs also play a role in mediating several paracrine processes where an ADPRC<sup>+</sup> cell supplies a neighboring CNT-and RyR-expressing cell with cADPR. Recently, type II CD38 was shown to start an ectoenzymatic sequence of reactions from NAD<sup>+</sup>/ADPR to the strong immunosuppressant adenosine; this paracrine effect represents a major mechanism of acquired resistance of several tumors to immune checkpoint therapy.
