Abstract: Like a good actor, the Sir2 proteins don't stick to the same role. That's the message of a new study confirming that the proteins exert opposite effects on the glucose-regulating hormone insulin depending on whether they are in worms or mammals. The work fills in details of how the mammalian protein governs insulin.
