SIRT1 is a member of the sirtuin family of enzymes that catalyze the deacetylation of acetyl-lysine residues in histones and other proteins.1) SIRT1 plays an important role in a variety of processes including stress resistance, metabolism, differentiation, and aging.1) Sirtuins are the mammalian orthologues of the yeast Sir2 (silent information regulator 2).1,2) In the catalytic process of SIRT1, NAD+ is cleaved and O-acetyl ADP-ribose is generated.1,3,4)
* Class I/II HDACs are histone deacetylases and remove acetyl groups without hydrolysis of NAD+.
