Yeast SIR2, the most evolutionarily conserved deacetylase, plays an essential role in epigenetic silencing at the silent mating type loci and telomeres. SIR2 has been implicated in chromatin silencing and lifespan determination in several organisms. Discovery that Drosophila SIR2 is also involved in
Epigenetic regulation of gene expression has become relevant to nearly all areas of biomedical research. The emergence of technologies that allow for examination of the epigenome combined with identification of key protein complexes that mediate the myriad chromatin modifications that occur have gre
