Abstract
In a recent issue of Cell Metabolism, Anderson etal. (2017) report that SIRT4 regulates insulin sensitivity in the pancreas via activation of methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (MCCC1) by removal of dicarboxyacyl-lysine modifications. Thus, SIRT4 activates leucine catabolism and causes decreased secretion of insulin from the pancreas.
