Protein A of quinolinate synthetase is the site of oxygen poisoning of pyridine nucleotide coenzyme synthesis in Escherichia coli.
Cloning, overexpression, and purification of Escherichia coli quinolinate synthetase.
TLDR
To study the mechanism of action, the specificity of the enzyme and the interaction with l-aspartate oxidase, the other component of the so-called "quinolinate synthetase complex," the cloning, the overexpression, and the purification to homogeneity of Escherichia coli quinolinate Synthetase were undertaken.
Structure of Quinolinate Synthase from Pyrococcus horikoshii in the Presence of Its Product, Quinolinic Acid.
TLDR
The structure of NadA is presented and it is found that N1 and the C7 carboxylate group of QA ligate to Fea in a bidentate fashion, which is confirmed by Hyperfine Sublevel Correlation (HYSCORE) spectroscopy.
Active-site models for complexes of quinolinate synthase with substrates and intermediates.
TLDR
The structure of QS from Pyrococcus furiosus has been determined at 2.8 Å resolution and is a homodimer consisting of three domains per protomer, suggesting that the domains are the result of gene triplication.
Structural basis for the catalytic activities of the multifunctional enzyme quinolinate synthase
An Unexpected Species Determined by X-ray Crystallography that May Represent an Intermediate in the Reaction Catalyzed by Quinolinate Synthase.
TLDR
A structure of NadA from Pyrococcus horikoshii (PhNadA) is presented and it is shown that a carboxylate group of the molecule is ligated to Fea of the iron-sulfur cluster, occupying the site to which DHAP has been proposed to bind during catalysis.
Crystal Structures of Quinolinate Synthase in Complex with a Substrate Analogue, the Condensation Intermediate, and Substrate-Derived Product.
TLDR
The crystal structures of complexes between the Thermotoga maritima (Tm) NadA K219R/Y107F variant and the first intermediate (W) resulting from the condensation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate with iminoaspartate are reported, shedding significant light on the mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by NadA.
Incorporation of 13 C glucose into nicotinamide in E. coli and in S. cerevisiae
The mode of incorporation into nicotinamide of label from 13C-labeled samples of D-glucose, in Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was determined by means of 13C NMR spectroscopy. The…

Evidence for an intermediate in quinolinate biosynthesis in Escherichia coli
TLDR
Results of these experiments indicate that the nadB gene product forms an unstable compound from aspartate in the presence of flavine adenine dinucleotide, and that this compound is then condensed with dihydroxyacetone phosphate to form quinolinate in a reaction catalyzed by the n adA gene product.

Cross-Feeding of Escherichia coli Mutants Defective in the Biosynthesis of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide
TLDR
Mutants of Escherichia coli defective in the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide are able to grow in a Casamino Acids medium lacking NAD and its immediate precursors, nicotinic acid and Nicotinamide, providing a means of isolating the intermediate, prequinolinic acid, as well as a biological assay for the compound.

TLDR
The facile separation of the wild-type quinolinate synthetase A and B proteins out of a nadC mutant suggests that quinolinic acid does not exists as a tightly bound complex.
