Brain and neuronal expression and localization of de-S-acylating enzymes
S-acylation is a reversible posttranslational lipid modification important in the nervous system that dynamically regulates protein localization and function. Aberrant S-acylation has been implicated in several neurological conditions. While several de-S-acylases (deacylases hereafter) have been identified, little is known regarding their expression and localization in the brain and in neurons.
SIRT7 regulates dosage compensation and safeguards the female X chromosome
Abstract Sirtuins are deacetylases implicated in stress responses and longevity in mammals1,2. Although their differential impact on disease for the two sexes has been noted3,4,5,6,7, the underlying reasons are unclear. Here, using Sirt7 as a model in mice, we examine the mechanisms leading to sex differences and find that Sirt7−/− female mice have decreased fitness throughout their lifespan.
