Abstract excerpt
Yeast Sir2 is a defining member of a large family of protein deacetylases found in organisms ranging from bacteria to humans. SIR2 was discovered as a gene required for mating in S. cerevisiae 25 years ago, but it was only recently that Sir2's activity as an NAD-dependent protein deacetylase was established. However, years of extensive research did generate a large body of knowledge about the cellular roles of...
