SIRT6 in DNA repair, metabolism and ageing.

Abstract excerpt

Ageing, or increased mortality with time, coupled with physiologic decline, is a nearly universal yet poorly understood biological phenomenon. Studies in model organisms suggest that two conserved pathways modulate longevity: DNA damage repair and Insulin/Igf1-like signalling. In addition, homologs of yeast Sir2--the sirtuins--regulate lifespan in diverse organisms. Here, we focus on one particular sirtuin,...
