Abstract
Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) is an NAD+-dependent deacetylase regulating important functions: modulators of its enzymatic activity have been considered as possible therapeutic agents. Besides the deacetylase activity, SIRT6 also has NAD+-dependent deacylase activity, whereby it regulates the secretion of cytokines and proteins. We identified novel SIRT6 modulators with a lysine-based structure: compound 1 enhances SIRT6 deacylase while inhibiting the deacetylase activity. As expected based on the biological effects of SIRT6 deacetylase activity, compound 1 increased histone 3 lysine 9 acetylation and the activity of glycolytic enzymes. Moreover, the fact that compound 1 enhanced SIRT6 deacylase activity was accompanied by an increased TNF-α release. In conclusion, new SIRT6 modulators with a lysine-like structure were identified, with differential effects on specific SIRT6 activities. The novel SIRT6 modulator concomitantly inhibits deacetylase and enhances deacylase activity.
