TLDR
A high throughput, phenotypic screen in cells that led to the discovery of a class of sirtuin inhibitors, and structure-activity relationship analysis of the compounds identified a key hydroxy-napthaldehyde moiety that is necessary and sufficient for inhibitory activity.

The Sir2 Family of Protein Deacetylases

TL;DR: The role of NAD+, the unusual products of the deacetylation reaction, the Sir2 structure, and the Sir1 and Sir2 chemical inhibitors and activators that were recently identified are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The human Sir2 ortholog, SIRT2, is an NAD+-dependent tubulin deacetylase

TL;DR: A human ortholog of Sir2p, sirtuin type 2 (SIRT2), is a predominantly cytoplasmic protein that colocalizes with microtubules and is established as a bona fide tubulin deacetylase.
Journal ArticleDOI

SIRT1 Regulates Circadian Clock Gene Expression through PER2 Deacetylation

TL;DR: It is shown that SIRT1, an NAD(+)-dependent protein deacetylase, is required for high-magnitude circadian transcription of several core clock genes, including Bmal1, Rorgamma, Per2, and Cry1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer epigenetics reaches mainstream oncology

TL;DR: The discovery of mutations in the epigenetic machinery and the approval of the first epigenetic drugs for the treatment of subtypes of leukemias and lymphomas has been an eye-opener for many biomedical scientists and clinicians.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased nuclear NAD biosynthesis and SIRT1 activation prevent axonal degeneration.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that increased Nmnat activity is responsible for the axon-sparing activity of the Wlds protein and that SIRT1, a mammalian ortholog of Sir2, is the downstream effector of increased NMNat activity that leads to axonal protection.

A revised medium for rapid growth and bio assays with tobacco tissue cultures

TL;DR: In vivo redox biosensing resolves the spatiotemporal dynamics of compartmental responses to local ROS generation and provide a basis for understanding how compartment-specific redox dynamics may operate in retrograde signaling and stress 67 acclimation in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Target-oriented and diversity-oriented organic synthesis in drug discovery.

TL;DR: Several synthetic planning principles for diversity-oriented synthesis and their role in the drug discovery process are presented in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased dosage of a sir-2 gene extends lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans

TL;DR: In this paper, the lifespan of C. elegans strains containing duplications of chromosomal regions was surveyed and it was shown that a duplication containing sir-2.1-the SIR2 gene most homologous to yeast-confers a lifespan that is extended by up to 50%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Requirement of NAD and SIR2 for Life-Span Extension by Calorie Restriction in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: These findings suggest that the increased longevity induced by calorie restriction requires the activation of Sir2p by NAD, the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.
