RESUMEN
Aspirin, also named acetylsalicylate, can directly acetylate the side-chain of lysine in protein, which leads to the possibility of unexplained drug effects. Here, the study used isotopic-labeling aspirin-d3 with mass spectrometry analysis to discover that aspirin directly acetylates 10 HDACs proteins, including SIRT1, the most studied NAD+-dependent deacetylase. SIRT1 is also acetylated by aspirin in vitro. It is also identified that aspirin directly acetylates lysine 408 of SIRT1, which abolishes SIRT1 deacetylation activity by impairing the substrates binding affinity. Interestingly, the lysine 408 of SIRT1 can be acetylated by CBP acetyltransferase in cells without aspirin supplement. Aspirin can inhibit SIRT1 to increase the levels of acetylated p53 and promote p53-dependent apoptosis. Moreover, the knock-in mice of the acetylation-mimic mutant of SIRT1 show the decreased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and maintain intestinal immune homeostasis. The study indicates the importance of the acetylated internal functional site of SIRT1 in maintaining intestinal immune homeostasis.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is the most common inherited peripheral neuropathy. Dominant mutations in the glycyl-tRNA synthetase (GARS) gene cause peripheral nerve degeneration and lead to CMT disease type 2D. The underlying mechanisms of mutations in GARS (GARSCMT2D ) in disease pathogenesis are not fully understood. In this study, we report that wild-type GARS binds the NAD+ -dependent deacetylase SIRT2 and inhibits its deacetylation activity, resulting in the acetylated α-tubulin, the major substrate of SIRT2. The catalytic domain of GARS tightly interacts with SIRT2, which is the most CMT2D mutation localization. However, CMT2D mutations in GARS cannot inhibit SIRT2 deacetylation, which leads to a decrease of acetylated α-tubulin. Genetic reduction of SIRT2 in the Drosophila model rescues the GARS-induced axonal CMT neuropathy and extends the life span. Our findings demonstrate the pathogenic role of SIRT2-dependent α-tubulin deacetylation in mutant GARS-induced neuropathies and provide new perspectives for targeting SIRT2 as a potential therapy against hereditary axonopathies.
