Abstract

The disordered SIRT1 N-terminal region contains an insulin-responsive sensor (IRS), comprising an acidic cluster (AC) and a 3-helix bundle (3HB), controlling enzyme activity. Insulin triggers DBC1 and PACS-2 binding to the IRS. DBC1 removes the protective shield that hides the IRS, enabling PACS-2 to bind the acidic cluster and the 3-helix bundle, inhibiting SIRT1.
