SIRT1: Linking Adaptive Cellular Responses to Aging-Associated Changes in Organismal Physiology
22 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Sirtuins comprise a family of enzymes implicated in the determination of organismal life span in yeast and the nematode. The mammalian sirtuin SIRT1 has been shown to deacetylate several proteins in an NAD(+)-dependent manner. SIRT1 substrates are involved in the regulation of apoptosis/cell survival, endocrine signaling, differentiation, chromatin remodeling, and transcription. Thus SIRT1 provides a molecular...
