Abstract
SIRT1 specificity: The multispecific SIRT1 enzyme catalyzes the deacetylation of acetyllysine residues within protein targets. However, little is known regarding the molecular basis for SIRT1 substrate recognition. Kinetic analysis of SIRT1 with a panel of peptide substrates shows the high importance of the region N-flanking the target acetyllysine and its high conservation through evolution.
