Sir2-S-alkylamidate complex crystal structure
Structural highlights
FunctionNPD_THEMA NAD-dependent protein deacetylase which modulates the activities of several enzymes which are inactive in their acetylated form. Has also depropionylation activity in vitro. Also able to ADP-ribosylate peptide substrates with Arg or Lys in the +2 position. The role of this function in vivo is not clear.[1] [2] [3] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Although structures of many sirtuin complexes have been determined, structural resolution of intermediate chemical steps are needed to understand the deacetylation mechanism. We report crystal structures of the bacterial sirtuin, Sir2Tm, in complex with an S-alkylamidate intermediate, analogous to the naturally occurring O-alkylamidate intermediate, and a Sir2Tm ternary complex containing a dissociated NAD(+) analog and acetylated peptide. The structures and biochemical studies reveal critical roles for the invariant active site histidine in positioning the reaction intermediate, and for a conserved phenylalanine residue in shielding reaction intermediates from base exchange with nicotinamide. The new structural and biochemical studies provide key mechanistic insight into intermediate steps of the Sir2 deacetylation reaction.
