| Popis: | Axon degeneration is a prominent feature of the injured nervous system, occurs across neurological diseases, and drives functional loss in neural circuits. We have seen a paradigm shift in the last decade with the realization that injured axons are capable of actively driving their own destruction through the sterile-alpha and TIR motif containing 1 (SARM1) protein. Early studies of Wallerian degeneration highlighted a central role for NAD+ metabolites in axon survival, and this association has grown even stronger in recent years with a deeper understanding of SARM1 biology. Here, we review our current knowledge of SARM1 function in vivo and our evolving understanding of its complex architecture and regulation by injury-dependent changes in the local metabolic environment. The field is converging on a model whereby SARM1 acts as a sensor for metabolic changes that occur after injury and then drives catastrophic NAD+ loss to promote degeneration. However, a number of observations suggest that SARM1 biology is more complicated, and there remains much to learn about how SARM1 governs nervous system responses to injury or disease. |
