Journal ArticleDOI

Sirt5 is a NAD-dependent protein lysine demalonylase and desuccinylase.

TL;DR: It is found that Sirt5 is an efficient protein lysine desuccinylase and demalonylase in vitro and may represent a posttranslational modification that can be reversed by Sirt 5 in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Critical role for calcium mobilization in activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that blockingCa2+ mobilization inhibits assembly and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome complex, and that during ATP stimulation Ca2+ signaling is pivotal in promoting mitochondrial damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammasome activation leads to Caspase-1–dependent mitochondrial damage and block of mitophagy

TL;DR: The role of mitochondrial damage is characterized during activation of the inflammasome pathway, of relevance to host defense and other physiological and pathophysiological settings, and it is shown that activation of this pathway leads to induction of mitochondrialDamage and dismantling of the organelle.
Journal ArticleDOI

A SANT motif in the SMRT corepressor interprets the histone code and promotes histone deacetylation

TL;DR: It is shown that the second SANT motif functions as part of a histone interaction domain (HID), which implies that the SMRT HID participates in interpreting the histone code in a feed‐forward mechanism that promotes and maintains histone deacetylation at genomic sites of SMRT recruitment.
