O-acetyl-ADP-ribose (AAR) is a metabolic small molecule relevant in epigenetics that is generated by NAD-dependent histone deacetylases, such as Sir2. The formation of silent heterochromatin in yeast requires histone deacetylation by Sir2, structural rearrangement of SIR complexes, spreading of SIR complexes along the chromatin, and additional maturation processing. AAR affects the interactions of the SIR-nucleosome in vitro and enhances the chromatin epigenetic silencing effect in vivo. In this ...[more]
