Figure 2. Pathways of synthesis of NADH, the essential cofactor for mitochondrial Complex 1, from nicotinamide, nicotinate and tryptophan. The enzymes involved in the nicotinamide pathway are listed below. Also shown schematically is the relationship between Complex 1 and Complex 5 of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation pathway, the major source of ATP. The hypothesis proposed is that high levels of NNMT diminish the availability of nicotinamide for NADH synthesis at the same time that Complex 1 is inhibited, both resulting in diminished ATP synthesis. The tryptophan pathway occurs only to a very limited extent in brain, and therefore would not be able to compensate, and the nicotinate pathway would be affected by levels of NNMT because of the shuttling between NADH and nicotinamide. 1, purine-nucleoside phosphorylase [E.C. 2.4.2.1]; 2, nicotinamide ribonucleoside kinase [E.C. 2.7.1.22]; 3, nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase [E.C. 2.7.7.1]; 4, NAD glycohydrolase (NADase CD38) [E.C. 3.2.2.5]; 5, nucleotide pyrophosphatase (Autotaxin) [E.C. 3.6.1.9]; 6, 5′ nucleotidase (CD73) [E.C. 3.1.3.5].
