Under the condition of ADP-ribosylation reaction in vitro, NAD concentration is approximately a few micromolar and the deacetylase activity of Sir2 is not detectable (Imai et al. 2000). As NAD concentration is increased, however, the mode of Sir2 enzymatic activity seems to be shifted from ADP-ribosyltransferase to NAD-dependent deacetylase. In the range from 100 μM to 1 mM, Sir2 can clearly deacetylate Lys-9 and Lys-14 of H3 and specifically Lys-16 of H4 (Imai et al. 2000). NADH, NADP, or NADPH cannot substitute for NAD in this reaction. This is the first example in eukaryotes in which NAD drives an enzymatic reaction distinct from ordinary oxidation/reduction reactions. This NAD-dependent deacetylation activity is also highly conserved between yeast and mouse Sir2 (Imai et al. 2000). Under these reactions, no ADP-ribosylated products were detected by high-pressure liquid chromatography and mass spectroscopy (data not shown). Recently, it was reported that the NAD-dependent deacetylase activity is conserved among Sir2 family members in a wide variety of organisms, from bacteria to humans (Landry et al. 2000; Smith et al. 2000). Since some of them localize in the cytoplasm (Afshar and Murnane 1999; Smith et al. 2000), this activity may have more general importance in different biological contexts.
