    Abstract: Provided herein is a method of labeling the epigenetic modification 5-hydroxymethyl-cytosine along a DNA molecule that involves attaching a 5-hydroxymethyl-cytosine specific labeling agent to the DNA molecule, which is effected by enzymatically synthesizing UDP-6-N3-Glucose by subjecting 6-azidoglucose to an enzymatic catalysis by N-acetylhexoseamine 1-kinase (NahK) in the presence of ATP to thereby obtain a phosphorylated 6-azidoglucose, followed by subjecting the phosphorylated 6-azidoglucose to enzymatic catalysis by uridyltransferase (GlmU) in the presence of UTP to thereby obtain UDP-6-N3-Glucose, followed by incubating the DNA molecule with UDP-6-N3-Glucose and ß-glucosyltransferase, to thereby obtain a 5-hydroxymethyl-cytosin e glycosylated by a 6-azidoglucose residue in the DNA molecule, and reacting the modified DNA molecule with a labeling agent which is chemically compatible with the azide group of the 6-azidoglucose residue.

    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a method for producing nicotinamide mononucleotide, that produces nicotinamide mononucleotide using a single enzyme and using nucleoside monophosphate, pyrophosphate, and nicotinamide as starting materials. This problem is solved by a nicotinamide mononucleotide production method that includes at least the following steps 1) and 2): 1) a first step of producing phosphoribosyl diphosphate by the action of substantially one enzyme on nucleoside monophosphate and pyrophosphate; and 2) a second step of producing nicotinamide mononucleotide by the action of only substantially the aforementioned one enzyme on nicotinamide and the phosphoribosyl diphosphate that is the product of the first step.

    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) with excellent production efficiency. The method for producing NMN according to the present invention (the first aspect) comprises the step of bringing a transformant with enhanced expression of enzymes nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt), phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase (Prs) and polyphosphate kinase (Ppk), a cell-free protein synthesis reaction solution having the three enzymes expressed, or a treated product thereof into contact with a mixture containing ribose-5-phosphate (R5P), nicotinamide (NAM), ATP and polyphosphate.
