Abstract
Sirtuin proteins comprise a unique class of NAD+-dependent protein deacetylases. Although several structures of sirtuins have been determined, the mechanism by which NAD+ cleavage occurs has remained unclear. We report the structures of ternary complexes containing NAD+ and acetylated peptide bound to the bacterial sirtuin Sir2Tm and to a catalytic mutant (Sir2Tm(H116Y)). NAD+ in these structures binds in a conformation different from that seen in previous structures, exposing the alpha face of the nicotinamide ribose to the carbonyl oxygen of the acetyl lysine substrate. The NAD+ conformation is identical in both structures, suggesting that proper coenzyme orientation is not dependent on contacts with the catalytic histidine. We also present the structure of Sir2Tm(H116A) bound to deacteylated peptide and 3'-O-acetyl ADP ribose. Taken together, these structures suggest a mechanism for nicotinamide cleavage in which an invariant phenylalanine plays a central role in promoting formation of the O-alkylamidate reaction intermediate and preventing nicotinamide exchange.

Figure 1. Structure of the Ternary Complex of Sir2Tm Bound to Acetylated Peptide and NAD^+
(A) Overall structure of Sir2Tm bound to an acetylated peptide corresponding to residues 372–389 of the p53 protein (yellow) and β-NAD^+ (gray). The Sir2Tm Rossmann fold domain, the α-helical subdomain and Zn binding subdomain, and the Zn atom are colored teal, blue, and gold, respectively.
(B) Electron density for the sirtuin substrates. The 2F[o] − F[c] electron density map contoured at 1σ is shown surrounding the acetylated p53 peptide (yellow) and β-NAD^+ bound to the active site of Sir2Tm.
(C) Stereodiagram of NAD^+ (white) in the active site of Sir2Tm (teal) bound to acetylated peptide (yellow). Active site residues that make contact with NAD^+ are shown as lines, the acetyl lysine substrate and NAD^+ are shown as sticks, and water contacts are shown as dashed, gray sticks.
(D) Schematic representation of Sir2Tm contacts with NAD^+ and acetyl lysine. Sir2Tm residues are shown as ovals containing the amino acid designation and number; invariant residues shaded in blue, waters are shown as red circles, and the acetyl lysine side chain is designated as Ac-K and shaded yellow. Hydrogen bonds between NAD^+ and backbone amides and carbonyls are shown as blue and red dashes, respectively. Hydrogen bonds to amino acid side chains are represented as green dashes, and van der Waals interactions are indicated by yellow semicircles.

Structural alignment of Sir2Tm-acetylated p53 peptide-NAD^+ (blue), Hst2Sc-acetylated histone H4 peptide-carba-NAD^+ (green), and Sir2Af2-NAD^+ (pink) based on atoms in the adenine ring, adenine ribose, nicotinamide, and the catalytic histidine. Acetyl lysine and active site residues for the corresponding structures are indicated.
