Function
Histone Deacetylases (HDAC)
•
•
Class I and II
– Zinc dependant deacetylase
Class III
– NAD+ dependant deacetylase
– SIRT6 has deacetylase activity (Du et al., 2009)
Sirtuin Family
SIRT6 Protein
• 355 AA protein
• localizes to nucleus
• Interacts NF-kB (Kawahara et al., 2008) and
deacetylates H3K9 (Michishita et al., 2008)
SIRT 6 phenotype
Phenotype
• Shorter lifespan
• Genomic instability
Mostoslavsky et al 2006
What are the signs SIRT6 leads
to aging phenotype?
• Increase expression of aging genes
• Decreased IGF-1 levels
• Increased genomic instability
• Other signs of aging related disease
My findings on SIRT6
Phylogeny
T-Coffee
Protein domain
• Sirtuin domain
– Rossman fold
– Cystine residues

Phenotype
DNA motifs
Possible protein modifications
Protein modifications
Chemical
• No inhibitors or activators
• Resveratrol an activator?
• Room for discovery
How much resveratrol does it take to activate Sirtuins?
•200uM concentration usually for activation
•Which equal 1.824g of resveratrol
• 12,160 glasses of wine
Protein interaction
Summary
• Numerous DNA motifs ( Myc, Rel, MZF1)
• Many sites of phosphorlation/ Sumoylation
• No known activators or inhibitors
• Possible interaction with ELF5
Future directions
• Co-immunoprecipitation for interaction with
ELF5
• MS to see if SIRT6 is modified
• Western blots to determine if sumolated
• Chemical library screens to determine
new inhibitors and activators
