Binding to nucleosome poises human SIRT6 for histone H3 deacetylation
Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) is an NAD+-dependent histone H3 deacetylase that is prominently found associated with chromatin, attenuates transcriptionally active promoters and regulates DNA repair, metabolic homeostasis and lifespan.Unlike other Water Sports Harnesses sirtuins, it has low affinity to free histone tails but demonstrates strong binding to nucle
