Discovery of fungal surface NADases predominantly present in pathogenic species

Some bacterial pathogens release NADase enzymes into the host cell that deplete the host’s NAD+ pool, thereby causing rapid cell death. Here, Strømland et al. identify NADases on the surface of fungal spores, and show that the enzymes display unique biochemical and structural properties.
