X Abstract

Sirt2 is a mammalian member of the Sirtuin family of NAD(+) (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)-dependent protein deacetylases. Although Sir-2.1 (a Caenorhabditis elegans Sirt2 ortholog) has been reported to interact with PAR-5/FTT-2 (a C. elegans 14-3-3 homolog), the molecular significance of the interaction between Sirt2 and 14-3-3 proteins in mammalian cell is not understood. Here, we report that Sirt2 interacts with 14-3-3 beta and gamma among various 14-3-3 isoforms, and that this interaction is strengthened by AKT. Furthermore, Sirt2 deacetylates and down-regulates the transcriptional activity of p53, and 14-3-3 beta/gamma augment deacetylation and down-regulation of the p53 transcriptional activity by Sirt2 in an AKT-dependent manner. Treatment of cells with nicotinamide, an inhibitor of Sirtuins, relieves the inhibition of p53 by Sirt2 and 14-3-3 beta/gamma. Therefore, our results suggest that the interaction between Sirt2 and 14-3-3 beta/gamma is a novel mechanism for the negative regulation of p53 beside the well-characterized Mdm2-mediated repression.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
