  Domain Name: SIR2
SIR2 superfamily of proteins includes silent information regulator 2 (Sir2) enzymes which catalyze NAD+-dependent protein/histone deacetylation, where the acetyl group from the lysine epsilon-amino group is transferred to the ADP-ribose moiety of NAD+, producing nicotinamide and the novel metabolite O-acetyl-ADP-ribose. Sir2 proteins, also known as sirtuins, are found in all eukaryotes and many archaea and prokaryotes and have been shown to regulate gene silencing, DNA repair, metabolic enzymes, and life span. The most-studied function, gene silencing, involves the inactivation of chromosome domains containing key regulatory genes by packaging them into a specialized chromatin structure that is inaccessible to DNA-binding proteins. The oligomerization state of Sir2 appears to be organism-dependent, sometimes occurring as a monomer and sometimes as a multimer. Also included in this superfamily is a group of uncharacterized Sir2-like proteins which lack certain key catalytic residues and conserved zinc binding cysteines.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.

Tips:
 If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position.

 The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs.

 Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below.
