Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In general, sirtuin activity is detectable by a protease (eg. trypsin) coupled two-steps method. However, such method has several problems, cumbersome procedure, false-positive compounds on chemical screening. In this study, focusing on interesting reports showing that sirtuin recognize and hydrolize long-chain fatty acyl groups, we hypothesized that sirtuin can hydrolize acyl groups of large quencher dyes. We exhibited that sirtuin activity is detectable by a FRET based novel fluorescence probe, SFP3, and applied this methodology for chemical screening. We identified novel scaffolds of SIRT6 inhibitor and activiator.
