Abstract: Science 6 November 2003 (10.1126/science.1088697) (Science Express Reports)

Calorie restriction (CR) slows aging in numerous species. In the yeast S. cerevisiae, this effect requires Sir2, a conserved NAD+-dependent deacetylase. We report that CR reduces nuclear NAD+ levels in vivo. Moreover, the activity of Sir2 and its human homolog SIRT1 are not affected by physiological alterations in the NAD+:NADH ratio. These data implicate alternate mechanisms of Sir2 regulation by CR.
