“…NAD-dependent lysine deacetylases, sirtuins, control various cellular processes, including chromatin structure by the deacetylation of lysine residues of histones (271,396), apoptosis and cell survival, by the interaction with p53 and FOXO transcription factors (233,354,444), mitochondrial biogenesis via deacetylation of PGC1a (252), lipid metabolism by the interaction with SREBP-1c among other proteins (291,352,390), insulin homeostasis (98,205), DNA repair (171,224,231), inflammation by modulating the activity of NF-jB (344,439), and oxygen sensing by deacetylating hypoxia-inducible factor-1a (HIF-1a) and HIF2a (66,82,210) among other mechanisms. Sirtuin-mediated deacetylation of these transcription factors would readily effect the expression of pro-and antioxidant genes, such as PUMA, NOXA, PIG3, GADD45, Nrf2, and Mn-SOD, and stress-activated protein kinases etc., which can readily regulate redox signaling.…”
