malfunction | SIRT6 knockout (KO) cells show neither damage-induced telomere movement nor chromatin decondensation at damaged telomeres, while both are observed in wild-type cells. A Deacetylation mutant of SIRT6 increases damage-induced telomeric movement in SIRT6 KO cells as well as wild-type SIRT6 | Homo sapiens |
metabolism | telomere stability, movement, and chromosomal condensation are regulated by SIRT6 in the presence of oxidative damage at telomeres | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | SIRT6 facilitates directional telomere movement upon oxidative damage. Oxidative damage at telomeres triggers directional telomere movement. The presence of the human Sir2 homologue, sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) is required for oxidative damage-induced telomeric movement. SIRT6 recruits the chromatin-remodeling protein SNF2H to damaged telomeres, which appears to promote chromatin decondensation independent of its deacetylase activity. SIRT6 is critical for directional movement in DNA damage repair. SIRT6 increases the short-term telomere mobility in response to telomere-specific oxidative damage. SIRT6 cooperates with SNF2H in the regulation of telomere chromatin structure, overview | Homo sapiens |
