In critical substrates mediating its antitumor activity are not fully addition, elevated levels of SIRT2 sensitized breast cancer cells defined. Here we demonstrate that SIRT2 binds, deacetylates, to arsenic trioxide, an approved therapeutic agent, along and inhibits the peroxidase activity of the antioxidant protein with other intracellular ROS-inducing agents. Conversely, anti- peroxiredoxin (Prdx-1) in breast cancer cells. Ectopic over- sense RNA-mediated attenuation of SIRT2 reversed ROS- expression of SIRT2, but not its catalytically dead mutant, induced toxicity as demonstrated in a zebrafish embryo model increased intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) system. Collectively, our findings suggest that the tumor induced by hydrogen peroxide, which led to increased levels of suppressor activity of SIRT2 requires its ability to restrict the an overoxidized and multimeric form of Prdx-1 with activity as antioxidant activity of Prdx-1, thereby sensitizing breast a molecular chaperone.

Introduction recognized as a tumor suppressor, because its loss in mice is associated with mammary tumors and hepatocellular carcinomas SIRT2 is a predominantly cytoplasmic member of the class III (5). Among other notable substrates deacetylated by SIRT2 are histone deacetylases (HDAC), or sirtuins, which function as þ metabolic enzymes, including glucose 6 phosphate dehydroge- NAD -dependent lysine deacetylases (1–3). Similar to HDAC6, nase (G6PD), ATP citrate lyase (ACLY), and phosphoglycerate SIRT2 colocalizes with microtubules in the cytosol and deacety- mutase (PGAM; refs. 7–9). Oxidative stress has been shown lates lysine 40 on a-Tubulin (2). During G –M phase of the cell 2 to induce SIRT2-mediated deacetylation of the transcription fac- cycle, SIRT2 is nuclear, where it deacetylates histone protein tor FOXO3a (10). This induces the transcriptional activity of residues H4K16, H3K56, and H3K18 as well as the BUB1-related FOXO3a, causing increased expression of its target genes, includ- kinase (BUBR1), thereby controlling the activity of the anaphase- ing BIM (11). In NIH3T3 cells, ectopic overexpression of SIRT2 promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) and normal mitotic was also shown to induce BIM and promote cell death following progression (4–6). Because of this activity, SIRT2 prevents chro- exposure to hydrogen peroxide (H O ; ref. 10). Recently, SIRT2 mosomal instability during mitosis (4, 5).
