Recently, Hou et al. shifted the research focus from the function of nuclear sirtuin (SIRT)6 to that of cytoplasmic SIRT6, which deacetylates and activates long-chain acyl-CoA synthase 5 (ACSL5). Their findings provide mechanistic insight into the role of cytoplasmic SIRT6 in fatty acid oxidation, acting as a therapeutic target for combating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
最近,侯等人将研究重点从核 SIRT6 的功能转移到细胞质 SIRT6,细胞质 SIRT6 可以使长链酰基辅酶 A 合成酶 5(ACSL5)去乙酰化并激活。他们的发现为细胞质 SIRT6 在脂肪酸氧化中的作用提供了机制上的见解,可作为治疗非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)的靶点。
