Abstract excerpt
The histone deacetylase sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) regulates numerous biological functions, including transcriptional repression, DNA repair, and telomere maintenance. Recombinant SIRT6 displays catalytic efficiencies 2 orders of magnitude greater for long-chain deacylation than deacetylation against peptide substrates; however, deacetylation can be enhanced by allosteric small-molecule activators. Here, we investigated...
