Article Abstract
The hub metabolite, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), can be used as an initiating nucleotide in RNA synthesis to result in NAD-capped RNAs (NAD-RNA). Since NAD has been heightened as one of the most essential modulators in aging and various age-related diseases, its attachment to RNA might indicate a yet-to-be discovered mechanism that impacts adult life-course. However, the unknown identity of NAD-linked RNAs in adult and aging tissues has hindered functional studies. Here, we introduce ONE-seq method to identify the RNA transcripts that contain NAD cap. ONE-seq has been optimized to use only one-step chemo-enzymatic biotinylation, followed by streptavidin capture and the nudix phosphohydrolase NudC-catalyzed elution, to specifically recover NAD-capped RNAs for epitranscriptome and gene-specific analyses. Using ONE-seq, we discover more than a thousand of previously unknown NAD-RNAs in the mouse liver and reveal epitranscriptome-wide dynamics of NAD-RNAs with age. ONE-seq empowers the identification of NAD-capped RNAs that are responsive to distinct physiological states, facilitating functional investigation into this modification.

Background: mRNA decay is central in the regulation of mRNA homeostasis in the cell. The recent discovery of a co-translational mRNA decay pathway (also called CTRD) has changed our understanding of the mRNA decay process. This pathway has emerged as an evolutionarily conversed mechanism essential for specific physiological processes in eukaryotes, especially in plants.

Cancer research is continuously exploring new avenues to improve treatments, and ferroptosis induction has emerged as a promising approach. However, the lack of comprehensive analysis of the ferroptosis sensitivity in different cancer types has limited its clinical application. Moreover, identifying the key regulator that influences the ferroptosis sensitivity during cancer progression remains a major challenge.

Article Synopsis
- NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is essential for cellular metabolism and acts as an RNA cap, but its role in this function is not fully understood.
- Research on HIV-1-infected cells showed that certain small nuclear and nucleolar RNAs lost their NAD cap, which could affect their stability.
- By increasing the enzyme that removes the NAD cap, researchers found that HIV-1 infectivity increased, indicating that NAD capping might hinder the virus's ability to replicate.

Article Synopsis
- NAD acts as a non-canonical RNA cap in various organisms, and TIR domain-containing proteins, which exist across all life forms, have been shown to possess NADase activity that can hydrolyze NAD.
- This study reveals that TIR proteins from several bacteria and one archaeal species can remove the NAM part from NAD-capped RNAs, specifically producing cyclic ADPR-RNA that other decapping enzymes can further process.
- The experiments indicate that when a wild-type TIR protein (AbTir) is expressed in E. coli, it can inhibit cell growth and lower levels of NAD-RNAs from certain genes without impacting overall cellular NAD levels, suggesting a role in regulating gene expression.

The critical redox cofactor NAD was recently reported to serve as an RNA cap in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. However, its reversible regulation and biological functions remain unclear. Here, we provide insights into its discovery, capping and decapping mechanisms, for further discovery of their potential functional implications.
