摘要

The sirtuins (SIRTs) have gained preeminence for their roles in the response to caloric restriction and the regulation of aging and lifespan. A new study now identifies gene promoters that bind the transcription factor AP1 as targets for silencing by SIRT6, providing possible links between SIRT6 deficiency and dysregulation of insulin-like growth factor signaling, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart failure (pages 1643-1650).
