1Q17, 1Q1A - PubMed Abstract: 
Sir2 proteins are NAD(+)-dependant protein deactylases that have been implicated in playing roles in gene silencing, DNA repair, genome stability, longevity, metabolism, and cell physiology. To define the mechanism of Sir2 activity, we report the 1.5 A crystal structure of the yeast Hst2 (yHst2) Sir2 protein in ternary complex with 2'-O-acetyl ADP ribose and an acetylated histone H4 peptide ...
