Function

SARM1 or NAD(+) hydrolase or sterile alpha and TIR motif-containing protein 1 or NADase is a NAD-cleaving enzyme^[1] whose activation triggers Wallerian axon destruction after injury^[2]. SARM1 is thought to be a metabolic sensor responding to an increased NMN/NAD+ ratio by cleaving residual NAD+ and inducing axonal demise^[3]. SARM1-induced axon destruction can be counteracted by increased NAD+ synthesis^[4].

Disease

SARM1 mutations were found in ALS patients^[5]. SARM1 induces axonal degeneration after nerve injury^[6] and in other neuropathological conditions, such as chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), a dose-restricting chemotherapy side effect^[7],^[8]. Consistent with its pro-degenerative function, genetic ablation of SARM1 protects against axonal and other types of neuronal degeneration, without inflicting any apparent impediments on the animal models^[9]. Particularly, it was demonstrated that SARM1 ablation provides protection against CIPN induced by the widely used chemotherapy agents vincristine^[10], cisplatin and paclitaxel^[11].

Structural highlights

The 3D structure of SARM1 shows the with outer ring dimension of 200A, inner ring of 45A and thickness of 60A^[12]. The 3 domains of SARM1 are . The the autoinhibition of SARM1. of the ARM domain. . The domain topology includes an N-terminal ARM domain, followed by two SAM and one TIR domain. NADase activity requires homo-oligomerization of TIR domains^[13], which is naturally facilitated by the SAM domains through complementing electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions that assembles eight protomers into a closed ring structure^[14],^[15]. The ARM domain inhibits NADase activity in cultured cells and in axons^[16]. In the auto-inhibitory conformation, a tightly packed arrangement of overlapping ARM domains surrounds the SAM core ring and supports TIR docking in a way that keeps them separated from each other to prevent their oligomerization and NADase activity. Accordingly, SARM1 activation involves a conformational re-arrangement that would allow nearing of the TIR domains, as demonstrated by the introduction of NMN or by gain-of-function point mutations that disturb ARM-TIR interactions^[17],^[18],^[19],^[20].
