NAD-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin-2 (SIRT2)

The protein contains 389 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 43182 Da.

 

NAD-dependent protein deacetylase, which deacetylates internal lysines on histone and alpha-tubulin as well as many other proteins such as key transcription factors (PubMed:24177535, PubMed:12620231, PubMed:16648462, PubMed:18249187, PubMed:18332217, PubMed:18995842, PubMed:20587414, PubMed:21081649, PubMed:20543840, PubMed:22014574, PubMed:21726808, PubMed:21949390, PubMed:22771473, PubMed:23468428, PubMed:23908241, PubMed:24940000, PubMed:24769394, PubMed:24681946). Participates in the modulation of multiple and diverse biological processes such as cell cycle control, genomic integrity, microtubule dynamics, cell differentiation, metabolic networks, and autophagy. Plays a major role in the control of cell cycle progression and genomic stability. Functions in the antephase checkpoint preventing precocious mitotic entry in response to microtubule stress agents, and hence allowing proper inheritance of chromosomes. Positively regulates the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) ubiquitin ligase complex activity by deacetylating CDC20 and FZR1, then allowing progression through mitosis. Associates both with chromatin at transcriptional start sites (TSSs) and enhancers of active genes. Plays a role in cell cycle and chromatin compaction through epigenetic modulation of the regulation of histone H4 'Lys-20' methylation (H4K20me1) during early mitosis. Specifically deacetylates histone H4 at 'Lys-16' (H4K16ac) between the G2/M transition and metaphase enabling H4K20me1 depo (updated: Jan. 31, 2018)

DESCRIPTION

SIRT2 is an NAD-dependent deacetylase that mediates deacetylation of alpha-tubulin (see 602529). During the cell cycle, SIRT2 regulates mitotic structures, including the centrosome, mitotic spindle, and midbody. SIRT2 may also regulate centrosome amplification and ciliogenesis (summary by Zhou et al., 2014).

CLONING

The yeast Sir2 (silent information regulator-2) protein (Shore et al., 1984) regulates epigenetic gene silencing and, as a possible antiaging effect, suppresses recombination of rDNA. Studies involving cobB, a bacterial Sir2-like gene, have suggested that Sir2 may encode a pyridine nucleotide transferase. By in silico and PCR-cloning techniques, Frye (1999) obtained cDNA sequences encoding 5 human Sir2-like genes, which they called sirtuin-1 to -5 (SIRT1 to SIRT5). The SIRT1 (604479) sequence has the closest homology to the S. cerevisiae Sir2 protein, while SIRT4 (604482) and SIRT5 (604483) more closely resemble prokaryotic sirtuin sequences. PCR analysis showed that the 5 human sirtuins are widely expressed in fetal and adult tissues. Afshar and Murnane (1999) sequenced a full-length SIRT2 (SIR2L) EST clone. The deduced 352-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of 39.5 kD. It has 2 potential leucine zipper motifs, 6 possible N-myristoylation sites, and several potential protein kinase C (see PRKCA, 176960) phosphorylation sites. Northern blot analysis detected variable expression of a 2.1-kb transcript in all tissues examined, with higher expression in heart, brain, and skeletal muscle, and lower expression in placenta and lung. Fluorescence-tagged SIRT2 localized primarily in the cytoplasm of transfected human fibroblasts and a tumor cell line.

GENE FUNCTION

Frye (1999) found that recombinant human SIRT2 was able to cause radioactivity to be transferred from (32P)NAD to bovine serum albumin (BSA). When a conserved histidine within SIRT2 was converted to tyrosine, the mutant recombinant protein was unable to transfer radioactivity from (32P)NAD to BSA. These results suggested that the sirtuins may function via mono-ADP-ribosylation of proteins. Tanny et al. (1999) showed that the yeast Sir2 protein can transfer labeled phosphate from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide to itself and histones in vitro. A modified form of Sir2, which results from its automodification activity, was specifically recognized by anti-mono-ADP-ribose antibodies, suggesting that Sir2 is an ADP-ribosyltransferase. Mutation of a phylogenetically invariant histidine (his364 to tyr) in Sir2 abolished both its enzymatic activity in vitro and its silencing functions in vivo. However, the mutant protein was associated with chromatin and other silencing factors in a manner similar to wildtype Sir2. These findings suggested that Sir2 contains an ADP-ribosyltransferase activity that is essential for its silencing function. Rogina et al. (2002) found that under 2 life-extending conditions, Rpd3 (601241) mutants fed normal food and wildtype flies fed low calorie food, Sir2 expression was increased 2-fold. Carbonylated proteins, which are a sign of irreversible oxidative damage, were visualized in single cells of S. cerevisiae, revealing that they accumulate with replicative age. Aguilaniu et al. (2003) showed the carbonylated proteins were not inherited by daughter cells during cytokinesis. Mother cells of a yeast strain lacking the Sir2 gene, a life-span determinant, failed to retain oxidatively damaged p ... More on the omim web site
