Gene Description

SIRT5 is an NAD+-dependent protein lysine deacylase of the sirtuin family that preferentially removes negatively charged acyl groups (succinyl, malonyl and glutaryl) from lysine residues, transferring the acyl group to ADP-ribose and releasing nicotinamide. Tyr102 and Arg105 in its acyl-binding pocket recognize the acyl carboxylate, and its deacetylase activity is weak by comparison. Synthesized with an N-terminal mitochondrial transit peptide, it acts mainly in the mitochondrial matrix (also the intermembrane space), with a substantial cytosolic pool and a minor nuclear pool. It is a major regulator of cellular lysine succinylation and glutarylation; characterized substrates include CPS1 (activated, supporting urea-cycle ammonia disposal during fasting), HMGCS2 (ketogenesis), SHMT2 (serine catabolism), SOD1 (antioxidant defence), and the pyruvate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase complexes.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0000050 urea cycle
TAS
Reactome:R-HSA-70635
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: SIRT5 regulates the urea cycle by activating CPS1 through desuccinylation and deglutarylation; it performs no urea-cycle reaction itself.
Reason: SIRT5 does not catalyse a step of the urea cycle; it removes inhibitory succinyl and glutaryl groups from CPS1, the first enzyme of the cycle, increasing its activity (mouse KO and human cell knockdown). GO has no 'regulation of urea cycle' term, so the Reactome pathway-membership TAS is retained as a non-core regulatory involvement rather than refined. It is not a core function: the core activity is the deacylase reaction on CPS1.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:24703693
Glutarylation of CPS1 inhibits its activity, but can be reserved by SIRT5.
Reactome:R-HSA-9955504
Knockdown of SIRT5 leads to hyperglutarylation of CPS1 and reduced CPS1 enzymatic activity, consistent with a role for SIRT5 in activating the enzyme.

PMID:17456799
Sirtuin functions in health and disease.
ACCEPT
Summary: NOT NAD+ poly-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity: no sirtuin, and specifically not SIRT5, has been shown to synthesize poly-ADP-ribose.
Reason: The curator's negative statement from this review (abstract-only in our cache) is consistent with the biochemistry: SIRT5 uses NAD+ as an acyl acceptor (forming 2'-O-acyl-ADP-ribose) in a deacylation reaction, the same mechanism as class I sirtuin deacetylation, and the ADP-ribosyltransferase activities reported in the family are attributed to other members (SIRT4/SIRT6 and bacterial CobB nodes in PAINT), not to the SIRT5 subfamily node PTN000119399. We have no evidence contradicting the curator, so the NOT is accepted.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:17456799
Certain sirtuins have in addition an ADP-ribosyltransferase activity.
PMID:22076378
Thus, the mechanism for Sirt5-catalyzed desuccinylation or demalonylation is similar to the deacetylation mechanism of Class I sirtuins.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Minor nuclear pool of SIRT5; secondary to its principal mitochondrial location.
Reason: Endogenous SIRT5 is mainly mitochondrial, with a minor nuclear pool detectable by fractionation (most evident in mouse liver), and Sirt5 loss increases histone lysine succinylation. A nuclear presence is therefore real but minor. The IBA comes from a deep ancestral node (PTN008492176) seeded by the nuclear sirtuins; the PAINT curator did not place nucleus on the SIRT5-subfamily node itself (which carries mitochondrion and cytosol), so this is an inherited ancestral location that survives in SIRT5 only as a small secondary pool.

GO:0006338 chromatin remodeling
IEA
GO_REF:0000108
REMOVE
Summary: Chromatin remodeling is inferred only from the inherited histone-deacetylase IBA, which does not hold for SIRT5.
Reason: This is a logical inference from GO:0017136 (histone deacetylase activity, NAD-dependent), which this review refines away from SIRT5 because its deacetylase activity is ~500-fold weaker than SIRT1 and it does not affect global acetylation in vivo. No study shows SIRT5 participates in chromatin remodeling; increased histone succinylation in Sirt5 KO cells does not establish a remodeling role. Removing the derived process is an argument about the electronic inference, not an experimental annotation.

Summary: In vitro deacetylation of cytochrome c does not establish a physiological protein-deacetylation role for SIRT5.
Reason: Schlicker et al. found SIRT5 deacetylated none of the matrix proteins tested and only cytochrome c in vitro; Reactome notes the significance is unknown. Later work shows deacetylation is 29 to >1000-fold less efficient than desuccinylation/demalonylation and that Sirt5 loss does not change global lysine acetylation or CPS1 K44/K287 acetylation in vivo. The weak activity is captured by the MF term GO:0034979 (kept non-core); the process claim overstates it. A curator NOT for the same process exists (PMID:22076378).

ACCEPT
Summary: NOT protein deacetylation: SIRT5 loss does not change acetylation of CPS1 or global acetylation in vivo.
Reason: The curator's negation is supported by the full text: in Sirt5 KO mouse liver, acetylation of CPS1 Lys44 and Lys287 is unchanged while succinylation of Lys1291 rises sharply, and the measured deacetylation rate is ~500-fold below SIRT1. Independent SILAC data show no global acetylation change in Sirt5-null cells. The weak in vitro deacetylase activity is a molecular-function property (GO:0034979), not physiological participation in protein deacetylation.

Summary: Correct but uninformative parent; SIRT5's acyl-transfer-to-ADP-ribose deacylase activities are the specific terms.
Reason: In GO the NAD-dependent sirtuin deacylase activities are classified under acyltransferase activity (the acyl group is transferred to ADP-ribose, forming 2'-O-acyl-ADP-ribose). The ARBA-derived parent is therefore correct but should be refined to the specific, experimentally supported activities the gene already carries: desuccinylase, demalonylase and deglutarylase.

Reason: The IBD sits on a deep sirtuin node (PTN008718612) seeded by robust deacetylases (SIRT1-3, SIRT6, yeast Sir2/Hst proteins); no SIRT5 data were among the seeds. On the SIRT5-subfamily node itself (PTN000119399) the PAINT curator placed desuccinylase, demalonylase and deglutarylase, not deacetylase. SIRT5 shows target-specific divergence: Tyr102/Arg105 in the acyl pocket bind carboxylate acyl groups, deacetylation is ~500-fold weaker than SIRT1, and no physiological histone deacetylation is established. The term is refined to the acidic deacylase activities rather than removed, since weak in vitro H3K9ac peptide deacetylation was measured.

PANTHER:PTN008718612 SUPPORTS SOURCE BUT NOT TARGET
Deep sirtuin node; the deacetylase IBD is well grounded in class I/IV sirtuins but SIRT5 diverged to acidic-acyl specificity (Tyr102/Arg105).
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:22076378
The catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of Sirt5 was about 500-fold lower than that of Sirt1.
PMID:22076378
Thus, Tyr102 and Arg105 were important for binding succinyl and malonyl groups.
PMID:22076378
With all three peptide sequences, the catalytic efficiencies for demalonylation and desuccinylation were much (29 to >1000 fold) higher than that for deacetylation
GO:0031667 response to nutrient levels
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: SIRT5-dependent CPS1 activation responds to fasting; a physiological context of the core activity.
Reason: SIRT5 activates CPS1 during fasting through NAD-dependent desuccinylation/deglutarylation, and lysine succinylation rises with fasting. The response to nutrient levels is a real but contextual consequence of the NAD-sensing deacylase activity (projected from rat).
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:24703693
Glutarylation of CPS1 inhibits its activity, but can be reserved by SIRT5.

TAS NOT
PMID:17456799
Sirtuin functions in health and disease.
ACCEPT
Summary: NOT mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity: no ADP-ribosyltransferase activity has been reported for SIRT5.
Reason: The family review notes that only certain sirtuins have ADP-ribosyltransferase activity; in PAINT that activity sits on the SIRT4/SIRT6 and bacterial nodes, not on the SIRT5-subfamily node. SIRT5 uses NAD+ for acyl transfer to ADP-ribose in deacylation. No evidence contradicts the curator's negation (abstract-only cache), so it is accepted.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:17456799
Certain sirtuins have in addition an ADP-ribosyltransferase activity.

SIRT5 desuccinylates and activates SOD1 to eliminate ROS.
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: SIRT5 lowers ROS by desuccinylating and activating SOD1; a substrate-specific consequence of the core activity.
Reason: SIRT5 binds, desuccinylates and activates SOD1, and SOD1-mediated ROS reduction increases when SIRT5 is co-expressed. SIRT5 acts upstream of SOD1 rather than in ROS metabolism itself; the regulatory term is appropriate but non-core.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:24140062
SIRT5 binds to, desuccinylates and activates SOD1.
PMID:24140062
SOD1-mediated ROS reduction is increased when SIRT5 is co-expressed.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Should GO provide a 'regulation of urea cycle' term so that SIRT5 (a CPS1-activating deacylase) can be annotated as a regulator rather than as involved_in the urea cycle itself?

Q: Does the weak in vitro deacetylase activity of SIRT5 (cytochrome c, H3K9ac peptide) have any physiological substrate, given that Sirt5 loss does not alter global or CPS1 acetylation?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Quantitative sub-mitochondrial fractionation (matrix vs intermembrane space vs inner membrane) of endogenous SIRT5 in human hepatocytes, to settle the inner-membrane projection and the size of the IMS pool.
