Sirtuin1-regulated lysine acetylation of p66Shc governs diabetes-induced vascular oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction.

ABSTRACT: The 66-kDa Src homology 2 domain-containing protein (p66Shc) is a master regulator of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It is expressed in many tissues where it contributes to organ dysfunction by promoting oxidative stress. In the vasculature, p66Shc-induced ROS engenders endothelial dysfunction. Here we show that p66Shc is a direct target of the Sirtuin1 lysine deacetylase (Sirt1), and Sirt1-regulated acetylation of p66Shc governs its capacity to induce ROS. Using diabetes as an oxidative stimulus, we demonstrate that p66Shc is acetylated under high glucose conditions and is deacetylated by Sirt1 on lysine 81. High glucose-stimulated lysine acetylation of p66Shc facilitates its phosphorylation on serine 36 and translocation to the mitochondria, where it promotes hydrogen peroxide production
