Human Sirt6 13-308 in complex with ADP-ribose and the activator fluvastatin
Structural highlights
FunctionSIR6_HUMAN NAD-dependent protein deacetylase. Has deacetylase activity towards histone H3K9Ac and H3K56Ac. Modulates acetylation of histone H3 in telomeric chromatin during the S-phase of the cell cycle. Deacetylates histone H3K9Ac at NF-kappa-B target promoters and may down-regulate the expression of a subset of NF-kappa-B target genes. Acts as a corepressor of the transcription factor HIF1A to control the expression of multiple glycolytic genes to regulate glucose homeostasis. Required for genomic stability. Regulates the production of TNF protein. Has a role in the regulation of life span (By similarity). Deacetylation of nucleosomes interferes with RELA binding to target DNA. May be required for the association of WRN with telomeres during S-phase and for normal telomere maintenance. Required for genomic stability. Required for normal IGF1 serum levels and normal glucose homeostasis. Modulates cellular senescence and apoptosis. On DNA damage, promotes DNA end resection via deacetylation of RBBP8. Has very weak deacetylase activity and can bind NAD(+) in the absence of acetylated substrate.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Publication Abstract from PubMedSirtuins are NAD(+)-dependent protein lysine deacylases that are considered attractive drug targets for aging-related diseases. Sirt6 deacetylates, e.g., transcription factors and histone H3, and regulates metabolic processes and stress responses. It has been implicated in lifespan extension and tumor suppression. Sirt6 deacetylase activity can be stimulated with small molecules, and fluvastatin, an FDA-approved synthetic statin, was recently described as a novel Sirt6 activator. We studied the molecular details of this effect on Sirt6 in deacylation assays and by solving a crystal structure of a Sirt6/fluvastatin complex. We find that fluvastatin inhibits Sirt1-3 at higher concentrations but has a unique, activating effect on Sirt6. The complex structure reveals that fluvastatin occupies the Sirt6 substrate acyl channel exit, similar to other, unrelated activator families, providing interaction details that will support the development of potent, druglike Sirt6 activators.
