Abstract:
Provided herein are SIRT4 compositions and methods of use thereof. The invention provides functional information for use in the identification and design of compounds that modulate SIRT4 enzyme activity (e.g., inhibition of fatty acid oxidation, ADP ribosylation, and/or downregulation of glutamate dehydrogenase), and to the compounds identified by such methods and the research, diagnostic and therapeutic uses of such compounds.
