NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin 2 is an

testes, pancreas, kidney, and adipose tissue of mice. Of note, SIRT2 expression is much higher in the brain than all other organs studied, particularly in the cortex, striatum, hippocampus, and spinal cord.[9]

Function

Studies suggest that the human sirtuins may function as intracellular regulatory proteins with mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity.

DNA damage, SIRT2 was also found to deacetylate H3K56 in vivo.[12] Finally, SIRT2 negatively regulates the acetyltransferase activity of the transcriptional co-activator p300 via deacetylation of an automodification loop within its catalytic domain.[13]

Structure

Gene

Human SIRT2 gene has 18

exons resides on chromosome 19 at q13.[7] For SIRT2, four different human splice variants are deposited in the GenBank sequence database.[14]

Protein

SIRT2 gene encodes a member of the sirtuin family of proteins, homologs to the yeast Sir2 protein. Members of the sirtuin family are characterized by a sirtuin core domain and grouped into four classes. The protein encoded by this gene is included in class I of the sirtuin family. Several transcript variants are resulted from alternative splicing of this gene.[7] Only transcript variants 1 and 2 have confirmed protein products of physiological relevance. A leucine-rich nuclear export signal (NES) within the N-terminal region of these two isoforms is identified.[14] Since deletion of the NES led to nucleocytoplasmic distribution, it is suggested to mediate their cytosolic localization.[15]

Selective ligands

Inhibitors

  • Benzamide compound # 64[16]
  • (S)-2-Pentyl-6-chloro,8-bromo-chroman-4-one: IC50 of 1.5 μM, highly selective over SIRT2 and
    SIRT3[17]
  • 3′-Phenethyloxy-2-anilinobenzamide (33i): IC50 of 0.57 μM[18]
  • AGK2 (C23H13Cl2N3O2; 2-cyano-3-[5-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)-2-furanyl]-N-5-quinolinyl-2-propenamide) is a potent, cell-permeable, selective SIRT2 inhibitor that minimally affects both SIRT1 and SIRT3[19]

Animal studies

Metabolic actions

SIRT2 suppresses inflammatory responses in mice through

erythrocytes.[21]

Neurodegeneration

Several studies in cell and invertebrate models of Parkinson's disease (PD) and Huntington's disease (HD) suggested potential neuroprotective effects of SIRT2 inhibition, in striking contrast with other sirtuin family members.[22][23] In addition, recent evidence shows that inhibition of SIRT2 protects against MPTP-induced neuronal loss in vivo.[24]

Clinical significance

Metabolic actions

Several SIRT2

FOXO3a, and thereby reduces ROS
levels.

Cell cycle regulation

Although preferentially cytosolic, SIRT2 transiently shuttles to the

mitotic spindle, and midbody, presumably to ensure normal cell division.[15] Finally, cells with SIRT2 overexpression exhibit marked prolongation of the cell cycle.[27]

Tumorigenesis

Mounting evidence implies a role for SIRT2 in

tumorigenesis. SIRT2 may suppress or promote tumor growth in a context-dependent manner. SIRT2 has been proposed to act as a tumor suppressor by preventing chromosomal instability during mitosis.[28] SIRT2-specific inhibitors exhibits broad anticancer activity.[29][30]
