Sirtuin‐dependent epigenetic regulation in the maintenance of genome integrity

Abstract excerpt

Sirtuins are a family of deacetylases that target histone and non-histone proteins and require NAD(+) as an enzymatic cofactor for their enzymatic activity. This requirement confers sirtuins with the ability to detect changes in metabolism and energy homeostasis and to coordinate cellular responses to maintain genome integrity. Thus, sirtuins are crucial in the crosstalk between environment and genome, and...
