A FLUOR DE LYS® fluorescent assay system. The SIRT2 Fluorescent Activity Assay/Drug Discovery Kit is a complete assay system designed to measure the lysyl deacetylase activity of the recombinant human SIRT2 included in the kit. The kit is ideal for chemical library screening for candidate inhibitors or activators or kinetic assay of the enzyme under varying conditions. The FLUOR DE LYS® SIRT2 assay is based on the FLUOR DE LYS®Substrate and FLUOR DE LYS® Developer combination. The assay procedure has two steps. First, the FLUOR DE LYS® SIRT2 Substrate, which comprises a unique peptide based on amino acids 317-320 of p53 (Gln-Pro-Lys-Lys(Ac)), is incubated with SIRT2. Deacetylation of the substrate sensitizes the substrate so that, in the second step, treatment with the FLUOR DE LYS®Developer II produces a fluorophore.

Due to their roles in gene silencing, aging and oxidative stress responses, the sirtuins (NAD -dependent deacetylases related to yeast Sir2), are currently the subject of intense research interest. Like Sir2, human SIRT2 is a class I sirtuin, although not as closely related to Sir2 as human SIRT1. The three-dimensional structure of SIRT2 has been determined, and its catalytic core has the same basic two-domain architecture and central groove as other sirtuins. SIRT2 is a cytoplasmic protein, although a lesser amount of nuclear localization has also been reported and an interaction with the homeobox transcription factor HOXA10 have also been reported. A complex comprising HDAC6 and SIRT2 colocalizes with the microtubule network and both enzymes can deacetylate a-tubulin lysine-40 in purified tubulin heterodimers or microtubules. SIRT2 protein levels rise and it becomes phosphorylated during mitosis . Overexpression of SIRT2 delays exit of cells from mitosis, suggesting that it may play a role in cell cycle regulation.
