New research from #OpenBiology: Histidine and tyrosine residues are targets for SIRT6 ADP-ribosylation activity royalsocietypublishing.org/rsob/article... | #Biochemistry

Histidine and tyrosine residues are targets for SIRT6 ADP-ribosylation activity Abstract. SIRT6, a highly conserved member of the sirtuin family, plays a critical role in diverse cellular processes, including gene regulation, DNA damag

In this paper, we demonstrate that the sirtuin SIRT6 can efficiently ADP-ribosylate histidine and tyrosine residues in proteins.
