Crystal Structure of SIRT3 with a H3K9 Peptide Containing a Myristoyl Lysine
Structural highlights
Function[SIR3_HUMAN] NAD-dependent protein deacetylase. Activates mitochondrial target proteins, including ACSS1, IDH2 and GDH by deacetylating key lysine residues. Contributes to the regulation of the cellular energy metabolism. Important for regulating tissue-specific ATP levels.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedSIRT1-7 play important roles in many biological processes and age-related diseases. In addition to a NAD(+) -dependent deacetylase activity, they can catalyze several other reactions, including the hydrolysis of long-chain fatty acyl lysine. To study the binding modes of sirtuins to long-chain acyl lysines, we solved the crystal structures of SIRT3 bound to either a H3K9-myristoylated- or a H3K9-palmitoylated peptide. Interaction of SIRT3 with the palmitoyl group led to unfolding of the alpha3-helix. The myristoyl and palmitoyl groups bind to the C-pocket and an allosteric site near the alpha3-helix, respectively. We found that the residues preceding the alpha3-helix determine the size of the C-pocket. The flexibility of the alpha2-alpha3 loop and the plasticity of the alpha3-helix affect the interaction with long-chain acyl lysine. Crystal structures of SIRT3 reveal that the alpha2-alpha3 loop and alpha3-helix affect the interaction with long-chain acyl lysine.,Gai W, Li H, Jiang H, Long Y, Liu D FEBS Lett. 2016 Sep;590(17):3019-28. doi: 10.1002/1873-3468.12345.
