The ataxia telangiectasia-mutated and Rad3-related (ATR) kinase checkpoint pathway maintains genome integrity; however, the role of the sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) acetylome in regulating this pathway is not clear. We found that deacetylation of ATR-interacting protein (ATRIP), a regulatory partner of ATR, by SIRT2 potentiates the ATR checkpoint. SIRT2 interacts with and deacetylates ATRIP at lysine 32 (K32) in response to replication stress. SIRT2 deacetylation of ATRIP at K32 drives ATR autophosphorylation and signaling and facilitates DNA replication fork progression and recovery of stalled replication forks. K32 deacetylation by SIRT2 further promotes ATRIP accumulation to DNA damage sites and binding to replication protein A-coated single-stranded DNA (RPA-ssDNA). Collectively, these results support a model in which ATRIP deacetylation by SIRT2 promotes ATR-ATRIP binding to RPA-ssDNA to drive ATR activation and thus facilitate recovery from replication stress, outlining a mechanism by which the ATR checkpoint is regulated by SIRT2 through deacetylation.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an aging-related neurodegenerative disorder that results in progressively impaired memory and is often associated with amyloid plaques. Previous studies implicate the deacetylases SIRT1 and SIRT2 in regulating the processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP). Here, we investigated whether APP is regulated by the related deacetylase SIRT6, which shows aging-associated decreases in activity.

TIGAR coordinates senescence-associated secretory phenotype via lysosome repositioning and α-tubulin deacetylation.

TP53-induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator (TIGAR) regulates redox homeostasis and provides the intermediates necessary for cell growth by reducing the glycolytic rate. During cellular senescence, cells undergo metabolic rewiring towards the glycolytic pathway, along with the development of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), also known as the secretome. We observed that TIGAR expression increased during replicative senescence following the in vitro expansion of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and that TIGAR knockout (KO) decreased SASP factors and triggered premature senescence with decelerated progression.

Northern Crayfish, Faxonius virilis, displays various strategies that allow them to survive extended periods of oxygen deprivation. However, certain epigenetic adaptations that these crayfish use have not been studied in detail, and the role of specific mechanisms used such as histone modifications remain unknown. Epigenetic studies offer a new perspective on how crayfish can regulate gene expression to redirect energy to essential functions needed for survival.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are leading causes of mortality throughout the world, and hence, there is a critical need to elucidate their molecular mechanisms. The Sirtuin (SIRT) family of NAD+-dependent enzymes has recently been shown to play a critical role in cardiovascular health and disease, and several SIRT isoforms, especially SIRT1 and SIRT3, have been amply investigated. However, the precise function of SIRT2 is only partially explored.

Sirtuins (SIRTs) are well-known as nicotinic adenine dinucleotide(NAD)-dependent histone deacetylases, which are important epigenetic enzymes consisting of seven family members (SIRT1-7). Of note, SIRT1 and SIRT2 are distributed in the nucleus and cytoplasm, while SIRT3, SIRT4 and SIRT5 are localized in the mitochondria. SIRT6 and SIRT7 are distributed in the nucleus.
