SIRT5

SIRT5

A gene on chromosome 6p23 that encodes an NAD-dependent enzyme that specifically removes malonyl and succinyl groups on target proteins. Activates CPS1 and helps regulate blood ammonia levels during prolonged fasting by desuccinylating CPS1, thereby increasing its activity in response to elevated NAD levels.

Notably, the distribution of some isoforms (e.g., SIRT1, SIRT2, SIRT3, and SIRT5) is varied due to their specific activity [2].
SIRT1, SIRT6, and SIRT7 are found in the nucleus; SIRT3, SIRT4, and SIRT5 are found in the mitochondria; and SIRT2 is primarily found in the cytoplasm (21).
SIRT1 and SIRT5 activity expression and behavioral responses to calorie restriction.
Although SIRT5 was identified as a responsible "eraser" for lysine succinylation in mitochondria [17, 18], the enzymes that regulate histone lysine succinylation in the nucleus remain elusive.
In humans, 18 HDACs have been discovered and they are classed into four main families: class I (HDACs 1, 2, 3, and 8), class II (HDACs 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10), class III (SIRT1, SIRT2, SIRT3, SIRT4, SIRT5, SIRT6, and SIRT7), and class IV (HDAC11) [20].
The HDACs are grouped into four classes: class I (HDACs 1,2, 3, and 8), class II (HDACs 4,5, 6,7,9, and 10), class III (SIRT1, SIRT2, SIRT3, SIRT4, SIRT5, SIRT6, and SIRT7), and class IV (HDAC11) [74, 75].

[sup][10] Recently, it has been found that SIRT5 displays demalonylase and desuccinylase activity by removing malonyl or succinyl moiety from target protein, such as carbamoyl phosphate synthase 1.
