SIRT6 regulates TNF-α secretion through hydrolysis of long-chain fatty acyl lysine

The sirtuin family of enzymes are known as NAD-dependent deacetylases, although some of them have very weak deacetylase activity; here human SIRT6, an enzyme important for DNA repair and transcription, is shown to remove long-chain fatty acyl groups from protein lysine residues, and to have a functi...
