Figure 6. Sirt1 CTD confers energy sensitivity to other proteins.

Figure 6

(a) FLAG-tagged p65 was transiently co-expressed with V5-tagged full-length Sirt1, truncated Sirt1 (ΔCTD Sirt1), Clover or Clover-CTD fusion proteins into 293 HEK cells as indicated. Forty-eight hours post transfection, cells were incubated with either 25 mM Glu or 25 mM 2-DG as indicated for 2 h. Cell extracts were immunoprecipited with anti-V5 antibody and then immunoblotted with either anti-FLAG for detection of the amount of p65 or anti-V5 for immunoprecipitants. ΔCTD and CTD indicate the Sirt1 fragments that span from 1 to 510 amino acids and from 510 to 737 amino acids of mouse Sirt1, respectively. (b) The experiment performed in a was repeated after transfections of V5-tagged Clover and Clover-CTD expression vectors into 293 HEK cells. Cells were treated for 2h with either 25 mM Glu or 25 mM 2-DG as indicated, 48 h post transfection. The binding amount of p53 with Clover or Clover-CTD was visualized by immunoprecipitating with anti-V5 antibody and immunoblotting with p53 antibody. (c) FLAG-tagged p65 was transiently co-expressed with V5-tagged Clover, Clover-CTD or Clover-ΔESA and co-immunoprecipitation was performed after treatment with either Glu or 2-DG as in a. ΔESA indicates CTD missing the ESA region (amino acids from 631 to 655). (d) V5-tagged Sirt2 or Sirt2-CTD was transiently co-expressed with FLAG-tagged p65 and co-immunoprecipitation was performed as above after treatment with either Glu or 2-DG. Sirt2-CTD indicates the CTD of Sirt1 is linked to the end of C-terminal end of full-length of Sirt2 as a fusion protein. (e,f) To visualize the effect of Sirt1 CTD has on deacetylase activity of Sirt2, Sirt2 or Sirt2-CTD was co-expressed with either (e) FLAG-tagged p65 or (f) p53 and treated with either Glu or 2-DG. Acetylated p65 was visualized by immunoprecipitation of p65 using followed by immunoblotting with anti-acetyl p65 (K310) antibody. Acetylated p53 level was visualized by immunoblotting with anti-acetyl-p53 (K382) antibody.
