NAD(+)-dependent histone deacetylases (sirtuins) play important roles in epigenetic regulation but also through nonhistone substrates for other key cellular events and have been linked to the pathogenesis of cancer, neurodegeneration, and metabolic diseases. The subtype Sirt5 has been shown recently to act as a desuccinylating and demalonylating enzyme. We have established an assay for biochemical testing of Sirt5 using a small labeled succinylated lysine derivative. We present a comparative stu ...[more]
