Sir2 products and activities
View Patent ↗A novel compound, 2′/3′-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose, is provided. The compound is a mixture of the 2′ and 3′ regioisomers of O-acetyl-ADP ribose, and is formed nonenzymatically from 2′-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose, which is the newly discovered product of the reaction of Sir2 enzymes with acetylated peptides and NAD + . Analogs of 2′/3′-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose are also provided. Additionally, methods of preparing 2′/3′-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose, methods of determining whether a test compound is an inhibitor of a Sir2 enzyme, methods of detecting Sir2 activity in a composition, methods of deacetylating an acetylated peptide, and methods of inhibiting the deacetylation of an acetylated peptide are provided. Prodrugs of 2′/3′-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose are also provided.
1. A purified mixture of 2′/3′-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose in equilibrium.
2. An analog of 2′-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose or 3′-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose exhibiting increased stability in cells, wherein the 2′-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose and the 3′-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose both comprise an acetate group with an ester oxygen, and an oxygen between two phosphorous atoms.
3. The analog of claim 2 , wherein a CF 2 , a NH, or an S replaces the ester oxygen or the oxygen between two phosphorous atoms.
4. The analog of claim 3 , wherein a CF 2 or NH, or a S independently replaces the ester oxygen and the oxygen between two phosphorous atoms.
5. The analog of claim 3 , wherein a CF 2 , a NH, or an S replaces the ester oxygen.
6. The analog of claim 3 , wherein a CF 2 replaces the ester oxygen or the oxygen between two phosphorous atoms, or wherein a CF 2 replaces both the ester oxygen and the oxygen between two phosphorous atoms.
7. The analog of claim 3 , wherein a CF 2 replaces the ester oxygen.
8. The mixture of claim 1 in an aqueous composition having a solute, excluding salts, that is at least 50% 2′/3′-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose in equilibrium.
9. The mixture of claim 1 in an aqueous composition having a solute, excluding salts, that is at least 75% 2′/3′-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose in equilibrium.
10. The mixture of claim 1 in an aqueous composition having a solute, excluding salts, that is at least 90% 2′/3′-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose in equilibrium.
