Crystal structures of the mitochondrial deacylase Sirtuin 4 reveal isoform-specific acyl recognition and regulation features

Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent protein lysine deacylases that act as metabolic regulators and are linked to aging-related diseases. Here the authors present the Sirt4 crystal structure and show that the enzyme has dehydroxymethylglutarylation activity and is regulated by NADH.
