SIRT2

A gene on chromosome 19q13 that encodes a widely expressed NAD-dependent enzyme that deacetylates Lys-40 of alpha-tubulin and is involved in controlling mitotic exit in the cell cycle, possibly by cytoskeletal regulation.

Emerging Evidence concerning the Role of Sirtuins in Sepsis

CDK9's role in promoting genome integrity is regulated at least in part through deacetylation by the SIRT2 sirtuin deacetylase and breast tumor suppressor protein, which promotes its kinase activity [11] and in turn phosphorylates UBE2A and directs H2Bub1 and PCNA ubiquitinylation [12].
