Mechanism of Sirt1activation by RSV. The metabolic effects of RSV can be accounted for competitive inhibition of cAMP-degrading phosphodiesterases and the elevation of cytosolic calcium via the cAMP effector protein Epac1. This pathway activates the calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II which phosphorylates AMPK, which in turn increases of NAD+ levels, thus leading ultimately to SIRT1 activation.
