Sirtuins have broad enzymatic activities. (A) SIRT1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 exhibit a lysine deacetylation activity of target proteins, in 1 which the coenzyme NAD is consumed to generate nicotinamide (NAM) and 29-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose (29-OAADPr). (B) SIRT4 exclusively 1 carries out ADP-ribosyl transferase activity, using NAD as the donor of the ADP-ribose group to the target proteins. ADP-ribosyl 1 transferase activity is shared with SIRT6. (C) SIRT5 uses NAD as a cofactor to demalonylate and desuccinylate target proteins, generating NAM and 29-O-malonyl-ADP-ribose (29-OMADPr) and 29-O-succinyl-ADP-ribose (29-OSADPr), respectively. from nicotinamide by nicotinamide Despite sharing a common cofactor to factors (FoxO),17 results in reduced cell phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT).8 boost deacetylase activity, the functional apoptosis and senescence.15,16 SIRT1 1 NAD is a hydride acceptor that forms differences between sirtuins are greater also regulates the activity and expression the reduced dinucleotide NADH, and than their similarities, as highlighted by of hypoxia-inducible factor-2a,whichis their ratio regulates redox balance in en- their localization in distinct intracellular responsible for the hypoxic induction of 1 ergy production.8 Furthermore, NAD compartments and their broad range of erythropoietin by renal cells.18 From a 1 is the precursor for NADP and NADPH, target proteins. metabolic point of view, SIRT1 binds which preserve cells from reactive oxy- to and represses genes regulated by gen species (ROS).8 As described ele- Nuclear Sirtuins PPAR-g after food withdrawal19 and gantly in a recent review,8 after persistent SIRT1 is the most studied sirtuin, and also controls gluconeogenesis20 and mi- oxidative stress, overactivation of ADP- resides in the nucleus and regulates tochondria biogenesis by deacetylating/ ribosyltransferases (also named PARPs) both nucleosome histone acetylation activating PGC-1a.21 1 consumes NAD to promote the repair and the activity of several transcriptional As for other nuclear sirtuins, SIRT6 of ROS-induced DNA lesions,9 ulti- factors.13 Actually, SIRT1 inhibits deacetylates lysines 9 and 56 of histone mately reducing sirtuin activity.10,11 TNFa-dependent transactivation of H3 to maintain genome stability and 1 Likewise, the bioavailability of NAD NF-kB, limiting the expression of several telomere function.22 Recently, it has can also be affected by other enzymes, proinflammatory genes.14 After DNA been shown that SIRT6, in response to such as ADP-ribosyl cyclases, which damage and oxidative stress, SIRT1-de- oxidative stress, is recruited to the sites of 1 hydrolyze NAD to ADP-ribose and pendent deacetylation of p53,15,16 as well DNA double-strand breaks, promoting nicotinamide.12 as forkhead box type O transcription its repair via ADP-ribosylation.23 Thus, 2 Journal of the American Society of Nephrology J Am Soc Nephrol 29: ccc–ccc,2018 www.jasn.org REVIEW the evidence that acetylation of histone pathways and detoxification through de- the balance of electrolytes and acid–base H3K56 is increased in multiple types of acetylation and activation of SOD2, favor- homeostasis, reabsorbing nutrients, and cancer24 suggests that SIRT6 plays a role ing superoxide discharge.43,44 In addition, BP control.
