%X The cofactors nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and its phosphate
form, NADP+, are crucial molecules present in all living cells. The delicate balance
between the oxidized and reduced forms of these molecules is tightly regulated by
intracellular metabolism assuring the maintenance of homeostatic conditions, which
are essential for cell survival and proliferation. A recent cluster of data has highlighted
the importance of the intracellular NAD+/NADH and NADP+/NADPH ratios during
host–pathogen interactions, as fluctuations in the levels of these cofactors and in
precursors’ bioavailability may condition host response and, therefore, pathogen
persistence or elimination. Furthermore, an increasing interest has been given towards
how pathogens are capable of hijacking host cell proteins in their own advantage and,
consequently, alter cellular redox states and immune function. Here, we review the
basic principles behind biosynthesis and subcellular compartmentalization of NAD+
and NADP+, as well as the importance of these cofactors during infection, with a
special emphasis on pathogen-driven modulation of host NAD+/NADP+ levels and
contribution to the associated immune response.
