Sirtuins, bioageing, and cancer [PDF]
The Sirtuins are a family of orthologues of yeast Sir2 found in a wide range of organisms from bacteria to man. They display a high degree of conservation between species, in both sequence and function, indicative of their key biochemical roles. Sirtuins

Human Sirtuin Regulators: The “Success” Stories
The human sirtuins are a group of NAD+-dependent protein deacylases. They “erase” acyl modifications from lysine residues in various cellular targets including histones, transcription factors, and metabolic enzymes. Through these far-reaching activities,

Lysine Fatty Acylation: Regulatory Enzymes, Research Tools, and Biological Function
Post-translational acylation of lysine side chains is a common mechanism of protein regulation. Modification by long-chain fatty acyl groups is an understudied form of lysine acylation that has gained increasing attention recently due to the ...

Mitochondrial Sirtuins in Reproduction [PDF]
Mitochondria act as hubs of numerous metabolic pathways. Mitochondrial dysfunctions contribute to altering the redox balance and predispose to aging and metabolic alterations. The sirtuin family is composed of seven members and three of them, SIRT3-5, are housed in mitochondria.

Sirtuin 1 and Sirtuin 3 in Granulosa Cell Tumors [PDF]
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are NAD+-dependent deacetylases that regulate proliferation and cell death. In the human ovary, granulosa cells express sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), which has also been detected in human tumors derived from granulosa cells, i.e., granulosa cell tumors (GCTs), and in KGN cells.

The Emerging Role of SIRT7 in Glucose and Lipid Metabolism
Sirtuins (SIRT1–7 in mammals) are a family of NAD+-dependent lysine deacetylases and deacylases that regulate diverse biological processes, including metabolism, stress responses, and aging.
