Abstract

Bratkowski et al. describe cryo-EM structures of autoinhibited and active SARM1, an axon-enriched, injury-activated NADase. Structure-function studies elucidate the mode of autoinhibition and SARM1 activity regulation. The authors provide mechanistic insight into SARM1’s regulation by the local metabolic environment, laying the foundation for future SARM1-based therapies to treat neurological diseases.
