Transcriptional silencing and longevity protein Sir2 is an NAD-dependent histone deacetylase

TL;DR: The analysis of two SIR2 mutations supports the idea that this deacetylase activity accounts for silencing, recombination suppression and extension of life span in vivo, and provides a molecular framework of NAD-dependent histone de acetylation that connects metabolism, genomic silencing and ageing in yeast and, perhaps, in higher eukaryotes.
Journal ArticleDOI

An FKBP destabilization domain modulates protein levels in Plasmodium falciparum

TL;DR: The swollen food vacuole phenotype of falcipain-2 knockout parasites could be rescued in a Shld1 ligand–dependent fashion by falcine-2–ddFKBP expression.
