hSIR2SIRT1 Functions as an NAD-Dependent p53 Deacetylase
- H. Vaziri, S. Dessain, +5 authors R. Weinberg
- Medicine, Biology
- Cell
- 19 October 2001
DNA damage-induced acetylation of p53 protein leads to its activation and either growth arrest or apoptosis. We show here that the protein product of the gene hSIR2(SIRT1), the human homolog of the… Expand
Negative control of p53 by Sir2alpha promotes cell survival under stress.
- J. Luo, A. Y. Nikolaev, +5 authors W. Gu
- Medicine
- Cell
- 2001
The NAD-dependent histone deacetylation of Sir2 connects cellular metabolism with gene silencing as well as aging in yeast. Here, we show that mammalian Sir2alpha physically interacts with p53 and… Expand
Nampt/PBEF/Visfatin regulates insulin secretion in beta cells as a systemic NAD biosynthetic enzyme.
- Javier R Revollo, A. Koerner, +10 authors S. Imai
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell metabolism
- 7 November 2007
Intracellular nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (iNampt) is an essential enzyme in the NAD biosynthetic pathway. An extracellular form of this protein (eNampt) has been reported to act as a… Expand
Nicotinamide mononucleotide, a key NAD(+) intermediate, treats the pathophysiology of diet- and age-induced diabetes in mice.
- J. Yoshino, K. F. Mills, M. J. Yoon, S. Imai
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell metabolism
- 5 October 2011
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has become epidemic in our modern lifestyle, likely due to calorie-rich diets overwhelming our adaptive metabolic pathways. One such pathway is mediated by nicotinamide… Expand

The NAD Biosynthesis Pathway Mediated by Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase Regulates Sir2 Activity in Mammalian Cells*
- Javier R. Revollo, A. A. Grimm, S. Imai
- Medicine, Biology
- Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 3 December 2004
Recent studies have revealed new roles for NAD and its derivatives in transcriptional regulation. The evolutionarily conserved Sir2 protein family requires NAD for its deacetylase activity and… Expand
Circadian Clock Feedback Cycle Through NAMPT-Mediated NAD+ Biosynthesis
- K. M. Ramsey, J. Yoshino, +10 authors J. Bass
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 1 May 2009
Circadian Oscillations The 24-hour day-night cycle plays an important role in mammalian physiology and behavior and, as most travelers are well aware, there is an intimate link between our in-built… Expand
Increased dosage of mammalian Sir2 in pancreatic beta cells enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in mice.
- Kathryn A Moynihan, A. A. Grimm, +5 authors S. Imai
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell metabolism
- 1 August 2005
Sir2 NAD-dependent deacetylases connect transcription, metabolism, and aging. Increasing the dosage or activity of Sir2 extends life span in yeast, worms, and flies and promotes fat mobilization and… Expand
Nampt: linking NAD biology, metabolism and cancer
- A. Garten, S. Petzold, A. Koerner, S. Imai, W. Kiess
- Biology, Medicine
- Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism
- 1 April 2009
Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) converts nicotinamide to nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a key nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) intermediate. Previously identified as a… Expand
Resveratrol supplementation does not improve metabolic function in nonobese women with normal glucose tolerance.
- J. Yoshino, C. Conte, +8 authors S. Klein
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell metabolism
- 7 November 2012
Resveratrol has been reported to improve metabolic function in metabolically abnormal rodents and humans, but it has not been studied in nonobese people with normal glucose tolerance. We conducted a… Expand
