Description:
Sir2 (silent information regulator 2) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase required for longevity due to calorie restriction in yeast and Drosophila. In mammals, calorie restriction induces a complex pattern of physiological and behavioral changes. Here we report that the mammalian Sir2 ortholog, Sirt1, is required for the induction of a phenotype by calorie restriction in mice.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chen, Danica -- Steele, Andrew D -- Lindquist, Susan -- Guarente, Leonard -- AG11119/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Dec 9;310(5754):1641.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16339438" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
