    Abstract

    In humans, there are at least seven Sir2-like proteins (SirT1-7) with diverse functions, including the regulation of chromatin structure, and metabolism. SirT3 levels have been shown to correlate with extended life span, to localize to the mitochondria, and to be highly expressed in brown adipose tissue. In humans, SirT3 exists in two forms, a full-length protein of approximately 44 kDa and a processed polypeptide lacking 142 amino acids at its N terminus. We found that SirT3 not only localizes to the mitochondria, but also to the nucleus under normal cell growth conditions. Both the full-length and processed forms of SirT3 target H4-K16 for deacetylation in vitro and can deacetylate H4-K16 in vivo when recruited to a gene. Using a highly specific antibody against the N terminus of SirT3, we found that SirT3 is transported from the nucleus to the mitochondria upon cellular stress. This includes DNA damage induced by Etoposide and UV-irradiation, as well as overexpression of SirT3 itself.

      • Related Citations
        Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.
      • Compound (MeSH Keyword)
        PubChem chemical compound records that are classified under the same Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) controlled vocabulary as the current articles.
      • Gene
        Gene records that cite the current articles. Citations in Gene are added manually by NCBI or imported from outside public resources.
      • Gene (GeneRIF)
        Gene records that have the current articles as Reference into Function citations (GeneRIFs). NLM staff reviewing the literature while indexing MEDLINE add GeneRIFs manually.
      • Gene (OMIM)
        Gene records associated with Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that cite the current articles in their reference lists.
