Sirtuins are protein-modifying enzymes distributed throughout all forms of life. These enzymes bind NAD(+), a universal metabolite, and react it with acetyllysine residues to effect deacetylation of protein side chains. This NAD(+)-dependent deacetylation reaction has been observed for sirtuin enzymes

Sirtuins are NAD (+)-dependent enzymes that deacetylate a variety of cellular proteins and in some cases catalyze protein ADP-ribosyl transfer. The catalytic mechanism of deacetylation is proposed to involve an ADPR-peptidylimidate, whereas the mechanism of ADP-ribosyl transfer to proteins is

We have previously shown that incubation of the model protein glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (Glu-6-PDH) from the bacterium Leuconostoc mesenteroides with 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), a major product of lipid peroxidation, results in the formation of cross-linked protein. HNE-modified protein is resistant to proteolytic

We have recently demonstrated that neutrophils oxidize nearly all of the amino acids commonly found in plasma to a corresponding family of aldehydes in high yield. The reaction is mediated by hypochlorous acid (HOCl), the major oxidant generated by the
