In yeast, Sir2 family proteins (sirtuins) regulate gene silencing, recombination, DNA repair, and aging via histone deacetylation. Most of the seven mammalian sirtuins (Sirt1–Sirt7) have been implicated as NAD + -dependent protein deacetylases with targets ranging from transcriptional regulators to metabolic enzymes. We report that neural-specific deletion sirtuin 6 (Sirt6) in mice leads postnatal growth retardation due somatotropic attenuation through low hormone (GH) insulin-like factor 1...

Classical nonhomologous DNA end-joining (C-NHEJ), which is a major double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway in mammalian cells, plays dominant role joining DSBs during Ig heavy chain (IgH) class switch recombination (CSR) activated B lymphocytes. However, cells deficient for one or more requisite C-NHEJ factors, such as ligase 4 (Lig4) XRCC4, CSR occurs by distinct alternative (A-EJ) pathway. A-EJ also has been implicated found oncogenic chromosomal translocations. 3 (Lig3) and its cofactor...
