General description

Sirtuins are hypothesized to play a key role in an organism′s response to stresses (such as heat or starvation) and to be responsible for the lifespan-extending effects of calorie restriction. Sirtuins act by removing acetyl groups from proteins in the presence of NAD+; they are thus classified as "NAD+-dependent deacetylases". Mammals have seven sirtuins; SIRT1 and SIRT2 occupy the cytoplasm. SIRT2 is a NAD-dependent deacytylase. It has been shown to control gene silencing, cell cycle, and DNA damage repair. In additon, SIRT2 acts as a tumor suppressor in human gliomas which suggests that the ectopic expression of SIRT2 upsets the microtubule network.
