Sirtuins as regulators of metabolism and healthspan
Open accessAbstract
Since the beginning of the century, the mammalian sirtuin protein family (comprising SIRT1-SIRT7) has received much attention for its regulatory role, mainly in metabolism and ageing. Sirtuins act in different cellular compartments: they deacetylate histones and several transcriptional regulators in the nucleus, but also specific proteins in other cellular compartments, such as in the cytoplasm and in mitochondria. As a consequence, sirtuins regulate fat and glucose metabolism in response to physiological changes in energy levels, thereby acting as crucial regulators of the network that controls energy homeostasis and as such determines healthspan.

In the citing paper
“Regarding mammals, several studies have shown that several of the seven mammalian sirtuins can delay various parameters of aging in mice (Houtkooper et al., 2012; Sebastian et al., 2012).”
From The Hallmarks of Aging (2013) · cites this paper as Houtkooper et al., 2012
In the citing paper
“sirtuins can regulate gene expression by deacetylating histone and non-histone substrates, and this activity depends on a cofactor linked to the cellular energy status, NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) (Houtkooper et al., 2012).”
From The Aging Epigenome (2016) · cites this paper as Houtkooper et al., 2012
In the citing paper
“The SIRT family of NAD+-dependent deacylases, comprising seven members that vary in tissue specificity, subcellular localization, enzymatic activity, and targets, mediates metabolic flexibility in animal models (42).”
From Metabolic Flexibility as an Adaptation to Energy Resources and Requirements in Health and Disease (2018) · cites this paper as [42]
In the citing paper
“Nicotinamide mononucleotide conversion to NAD+ activates SIRT1 and improves glucose homeostasis in mice (42).”
From Metabolic Flexibility as an Adaptation to Energy Resources and Requirements in Health and Disease (2018) · cites this paper as [42]
In the citing paper
“SIRT3, which is localized in the mitochondrial matrix, targets many proteins involved in metabolic homeostasis, including OXPHOS subunits (42).”
From Metabolic Flexibility as an Adaptation to Energy Resources and Requirements in Health and Disease (2018) · cites this paper as [42]
In the citing paper
“SIRT1 controls the activity of transcription factors and cofactors such as p53, MEF2, FOXO, and PGC1α, which govern mitochondrial biogenesis and activity and lipid and glucose metabolism (42).”
From Metabolic Flexibility as an Adaptation to Energy Resources and Requirements in Health and Disease (2018) · cites this paper as [42]
In the citing paper
“This is due to changes in the balances between acetylation and deacetylation rates, for instance involving the mitochondrial NAD+-dependent deacetylase SIRT3 (Houtkooper et al, 2012).”
From Mitochondrial response to nutrient availability and its role in metabolic disease (2014) · cites this paper as Houtkooper et al, 2012
In the citing paper
“Indeed, different situations of energy restriction, including fasting and exercise, increase NAD+ levels and trigger SIRT1/PGC-1α-dependent mitochondrial adaptation (Lin et al, 2000; Houtkooper et al, 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
