Other Notes
Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) are a class of enzymes responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4), allowing the histones to wrap the DNA more tightly.
HDAC proteins occur in four groups (class I, class IIA, class IIB, class III, class IV) based on function and DNA sequence similarity.
Classes I, IIA and IIB are considered "classical" HDACs whose activities are inhibited by trichostatin A (TSA), whereas class III is a family of NAD+-dependent proteins (sirtuins) not affected by TSA. Class IV is considered an atypical class on its own, based solely on DNA sequence similarity to the others.

SIRT3 also known as Sirtuin 3 and mitochondrial sirtuin is a deacetylase with a mass of roughly 44 kDa. This protein is mostly found in the mitochondria where it regulates the acetylation state of various substrates. It plays an important role in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis by modifying protein activity. SIRT3 is evolutionarily conserved and highly expressed in tissues with high energy demand like the heart liver and brown adipose tissue.
Biological function summary
SIRT3 modulates energy homeostasis by deacetylating and regulating enzymes involved in metabolism. It is a part of the mitochondrial sirtuin family contributing to fatty acid oxidation and the antioxidant defense system. By targeting key metabolic enzymes SIRT3 directly impacts the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and oxidative phosphorylation processes. These functions highlight its role in maintaining energy efficiency and reducing reactive oxidative species.
Pathways
SIRT3 participates in vital metabolic pathways such as the TCA cycle and the urea cycle. It interacts with other proteins like MnSOD and IDH2 to enhance mitochondrial function and overall cellular metabolism. This helps control the balance between energy production and consumption integrating signals from the AMPK and NAD+-dependent pathways to coordinate responses to changes in energy availability.
SIRT3 has implications in metabolic syndrome and cancer. Reduced SIRT3 activity is associated with increased susceptibility to metabolic disturbances like obesity and type 2 diabetes. Its deficiency affects the regulation of ROS and metabolic adaptation linking it to tumorigenesis and cancer progression. As it connects with proteins like HIF-1α in hypoxic conditions SIRT3 plays a role in cellular adaptation to stress influencing disease progression.
