Article Abstract
Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is a key antioxidant enzyme. Deficiency of SOD1 is associated with various human diseases, including cancer. Here, we report that SOD1 is succinylated and that succinylation decreases its activity. SIRT5 binds to, desuccinylates and activates SOD1. SOD1-mediated ROS reduction is increased when SIRT5 is co-expressed. Furthermore, mutation of the SOD1 succinylation site inhibits the growth of lung tumor cells. These results reveal a novel post-translational regulation of SOD1 by means of succinylation and SIRT5-dependent desuccinylation, which is important for the growth of lung tumor cells.

Metabolic reprogramming is a key focus of targeted therapies in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The mitochondrial sirtuin SIRT5 removes succinyl groups from specific lysines and impacts cell metabolism, but its role in AML tumorigenesis has not been extensively explored. A recent study highlighted that SIRT5 regulates AML cell activity by modulating glutamine metabolism, but its molecular targets in AML remain unclear.

Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) is an emerging enteropathogenic coronavirus capable of infecting various animal species, including humans. In this study, we explored the roles of sirtuins (SIRTs), a conserved family of protein deacylases and mono-adenosine diphosphate-ribosyltransferases, in PDCoV replication. Surprisingly, we found that SIRT5-a unique member of SIRTs with distinct desuccinylation, demalonylation, and deglutarylation activities-is a proviral factor essential for PDCoV replication; its catalytic activities are crucial in this process.

Mitochondrial dysfunction and abnormal energy metabolism are major features of cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying mitochondrial dysfunction during cancer progression are far from being clarified. Here, it is demonstrated that the expression level of succinyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase GDP-forming subunit β (SUCLG2) can affect the overall succinylation of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells.

Background And Purpose: Sirt5 (Sirtuin 5) desuccinylates multiple metabolic enzymes and plays an important role in maintaining energy homeostasis. The goal of this study was to determine whether Sirt5-mediated desuccinylation restores the energy metabolism and protects brain against subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
Methods: Male C57BL/6 or Sirt5 mice were used.

Citrate synthase (CS), the rate-limiting enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle catalyzes the first step of the cycle, namely, the condensation of oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA to produce citrate. The expression and enzymatic activity of CS are altered in cancers, but posttranslational modification (PTM) of CS and its regulation in tumorigenesis remain largely obscure. SIRT5 belongs to the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)+-dependent deacetylase sirtuin family and plays vital roles in multiple biological processes via modulating various substrates.
