Abstract excerpt
The SirT1 gene encodes a protein deacetylase that acts on a number of nuclear substrates. p53 was identified as a SirT1 substrate whose transcriptional activity was reported to be negatively regulated by SirT1-dependent deacetylation. We set out to determine whether developmental defects and perinatal lethality observed in SirT1-null mice were caused by p53 hyperactivity by creating mice deficient for both SirT1...
