Peptide Switch Is Essential for Sirt1 Deacetylase Activity

Abstract: In mammals, the Sirtuins are composed of seven Sir2 orthologues (Sirt1-7) with a conserved deacetylase core that utilizes NAD+ as a cofactor. Interestingly, the deacetylase core of Sirt1 by itself has no catalytic activity. We found within the C-terminal domain a 25 a.a. sequence that is essential for Sirt1 activity (ESA). Our results indicate that the ESA region interacts with and functions as an “on switch” for the deacetylase core. The endogenous Sirt1 inhibitor DBC1, which also binds to the deacetylase cor… Show more

“…Given its role in human health, SIRT1 activities in vivo are tightly regulated (Nemoto et al 2004;Chen et al 2005;Wang et al 2006;Abdelmohsen et al 2007;Kim et al 2007;Yang et al 2007;Sasaki et al 2008). Recently, we and others have demonstrated that SIRT1's activity is modulated by protein-protein interaction through the DBC1 (Deleted in Breast Cancer 1) protein (Kim et al 2008;Zhao et al 2008;Kang et al 2011). Using DBC1 knockout mice, we have also shown that DBC1 is a major regulator of SIRT1 in vivo (Escande et al 2010).…”

“…Of interest is that Kang et al (70) recently found that the amino acids 631-655 in SIRT1 (what they call the essential for SIRT1 activity region) are necessary for SIRT1 activation. Moreover, these authors proposed that this region is important for the regulation of SIRT1 by DBC1.…”

“…Another 25-amino acid peptide called essential for SIRT1 activity (ESA) is also required for catalysis. 20 The spectrum of acetylated protein substrates of SIRT1 is vast; at least 79 have been described (Table 1) including a large number of important nuclear proteins (such as p53, Rb, NF-κB, and CBP/p300) along with a variety of cytoplasmic proteins. The identification of cytoplasmic substrates for a protein that appears to be primarily nuclear in interphase cells is one of the many apparent paradoxes in the field.…”
