Scientific Background: SIRT3 is a member of the sirtuin family of proteins which are homologs to the yeast Sir2 protein. Sirtuin family contain a sirtuin core domain and are grouped into four classes with SIRT3 being a member of class I. SIRT3 contains an N-terminal mitochondrial targeting signal and a central catalytic domain and localizes in the nuclei and mitochondria (1). SIRT3 has NAD(+)-dependent histone deacetylase activity with specificity for lys16 of H4 and, to a lesser extent, lys9 of H3. SIRT3 can repress transcription of a target gene in vivo when recruited to its promoter. Full-length SIRT3 is transported from the nucleus to the mitochondria during cell stress conditions (2).

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the sirtuin family of proteins, homologs to the yeast Sir2 protein. Members of the sirtuin family are characterized by a sirtuin core domain and grouped into four classes. The functions of human sirtuins have not yet been determined; however, yeast sirtuin proteins are known to regulate epigenetic gene silencing and suppress recombination of rDNA. Studies suggest that the human sirtuins may function as intracellular regulatory proteins with mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. The protein encoded by this gene is included in class I of the sirtuin family. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been described for this gene.

Uniprot Description
Function: NAD-dependent protein deacetylase. Activates mitochondrial target proteins, including ACSS1, IDH2 and GDH by deacetylating key lysine residues. Contributes to the regulation of the cellular energy metabolism. Important for regulating tissue-specific ATP levels. Ref.9 Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.14
Catalytic activity: NAD+ + an acetylprotein = nicotinamide + O-acetyl-ADP-ribose + a protein. Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.9
Cofactor: Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.
Subunit structure: Interacts with NDUFA9, ACSS1, IDH2 and GDH. Ref.9 Ref.12
Subcellular location: Mitochondrion matrix Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.10.
Tissue specificity: Widely expressed. Ref.1 Ref.7
Post-translational modification: Processed by mitochondrial processing peptidase (MPP) to give a 28 kDa product. Such processing is probably essential for its enzymatic activity.
Miscellaneous: Has some ability to deacetylate histones in vitro, but seeing its subcellular location, this is unlikely in vivo.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the sirtuin family. Class I subfamily.Contains 1 deacetylase sirtuin-type domain.
Biophysicochemical propertiesKinetic parameters:KM=600 µM for NAD Ref.14

Product Notes
The SIRT3 sirt3 (Catalog #AAA515315) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The tag for this protein is GST tag!!Expression System||E.coli!!Source Note||Full-length recombinant human SIRT3 was expressed in E. coli cells. AAA Biotech's SIRT3 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the SIRT3 sirt3 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "SIRT3, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
