SIRT1 is a deacetylase, an enzyme that removes acetyl groups from proteins. Like phosphorylation, acetylation regulates many different cellular functions, including cytoskeleton dynamics.

The levels of H3K9 acetylation were examined at salt responsive gene promoter regions. They propose that, under normal condition, FVE/HDA13 complex acts at H3K9 for deacetylation, leading to low ...

Taken together, this study for the first time explores the role of macrophage PPARγ acetylation in determining adipose tissue remodeling, providing a novel mechanism of PPARγ acetylation ...
