Activation of the NAD hydrolase domain of Sarm1 mediates axonal degeneration caused by chemotherapy drugs, but the downstream events are unknown. In this issue, Li and colleagues (2021. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202106080) demonstrate that cADPR, a breakdown product of NAD, mediates paclitaxel-induced axonal degeneration by promoting influx of calcium into the axons.
Sarm1 的 NAD 水解酶结构域的激活介导了化疗药物引起的轴突变性,但下游事件尚不清楚。在本期杂志中,Li 及其同事(2021. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202106080)表明,NAD 的分解产物 cADPR 通过促进钙离子流入轴突介导了紫杉醇诱导的轴突变性。
