Abstract:

Sirtuin(SRT)is one of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NAD)-dependent protein deacetylases being highly homologous to yeast silencing information regulator 2(Sir2). In eukaryotes, SRT regulates chromosome stability, gene transcription and the activity status of related proteins by catalyzing the deacetylation of specific or non-histone lysine(Lys)residues. Studies have shown that SRT-mediated deacetylation plays an important role in plant metabolism, growth and development, and stress response. In this review, the identification, structure and classification, biological evolution, epigenetic regulation mechanism and biological processes of SRT in plants are summarized, and its future research directions are also prospected, aiming to provide a basis for future research on SRT-mediated epigenetic biological processes in plant.

Key words: NAD, deacetylase, epigenetics, growth and development, stress response
