Sirtuin‐mediated deacetylation pathway stabilizes Werner syndrome protein
25 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
Caloric restriction (CR) is known to promote longevity in various species. Sirtuin-mediated deacetylation has been shown to be related to the promotion of longevity in some species. Here, we show that CR of rats led to an increase in the level of Werner syndrome protein (WRN), a recognized DNA repair protein. In addition, CR simultaneously increased the level of SIRT1, a mammalian sirtuin. In HEK293T cells,...
