Sub-cellular localization, expression and functions of Sirt6 during the cell cycle in HeLa cells

Abstract excerpt

Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6), a mammalian Sir2 (silent information regulator-2) ortholog, is an NAD (+) -dependent histone deacetylase that modulates chromatin structure and genomic stability. Sirt6 knockout cells demonstrate genomic instability, and a deficiency of Sirt6 in mice leads to an aging phenotype early in life. Some nuclear sirtuins, such as Sirt7, localize to the nucleolus, and others, such as Sirt1, are mainly...
