Biological and Potential Therapeutic Roles of Sirtuin Deacetylases

Abstract: Sirtuins comprise a unique class of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+))-dependent deacetylases that target multiple protein substrates to execute diverse biological functions. These enzymes are key regulators of clinically important cellular and organismal processes, including metabolism, cell division and aging. The desire to understand the important determinants of human health and lifespan has resulted in a firestorm of work on the seven mammalian sirtuins in less than a decade. The implication of si… Show more

“…They regulate a variety of cellular functions, such as genome maintenance, longevity, and metabolism (Oberdoerffer and Sinclair, 2007;Westphal et al, 2007;Yamamoto et al, 2007). Until now, all sirtuins, except for SIRT4, have been described to have deacetylation (Taylor et al, 2008). The SIRT proteins exhibit differential localization from nucleus to nucleolus, and from cytoplasm to mitochondria (Sauve et al, 2006).…”

“…34 Together with IGF-1 and mTOR, sirtuins mediate the longevity effects of the dietary regime known as caloric restriction. 36,37 Recent findings demonstrate that the activity of sirtuins is also implicated in cancer progression, affecting the activity of p53, 38,39 as well as that of other regulators.…”

“…However, it was later found that these enzymes act as sensors of the cellular energy status, establishing a link between gene silencing and metabolism in vivo (Denu, 2003). Therefore, in the past decade, research was aimed at elucidating their structure (Sanders et al, 2010), enzymatic activity (Taylor et al, 2008), biology and function in the cell (Shoba et al, 2009), target proteins that include -besides histonestranscription factors that regulate stress, metabolism and survival pathways (Shoba et al, 2009), as well as natural and synthetic compounds that activate (Howitz et al, 2003;Camins et al, 2010) and inhibit (Cen, 2010;Lawson et al, 2010) them. Further general information on sirtuins is available in the reviews by Dali-Youcef et al (2007), Shoba et al (2009), Imai andGuarente (2010), Rajendran et al (2011) andCantó andAuwerx (2012); information on the controversy arising about the role of sirtuins in lifespan regulation can be found in the work by Burnett et al (2011); information on resveratrol, the principal sirtuin activator being studied and its role in mammalian biology can be found in the review by Pervaiz (2003).…”
