Sirtuins are NAD+ dependent deacetylases that counter aging and diseases of aging. Sirtuin
research has focused on SirT1, which deacetylates transcription factors and cofactors in the
nucleus. More recent findings highlight SirT3 as a mitochondrial sirtuin that regulates
metabolism and oxidative stress. This review focuses on new data linking SirT3 to
management of reactive oxygen species from mitochondria, which may have profound
implications for aging and late-onset diseases.
