SIRT4 is a mitochondrial ADP-ribosyltransferase that inhibits mitochondrial glutamate dehydrogenase 1 activity, thereby downregulating insulin secretion in response to amino acids. [7] A deacetylation of malonyl-CoA decarboxylase enzyme by SIRT4 represses the enzyme activity, inhibiting fatty acid oxidation in muscle and liver cells.
SIRT3, a mitochondrial protein deacetylase, plays a role in the regulation of multiple metabolic proteins like isocitrate dehydrogenase of the TCA cycle. It also plays a role in skeletal muscle as a metabolic adaptive response. Since glutamine is a source of a-ketoglutarate used to replenish the TCA cycle, SIRT4 is involved in glutamine metabolism.
Like other natural proteinogenic amino acids, cysteine and selenocysteine have L chirality in the older D / L notation based on homology to D - and L-glyceraldehyde. In the newer R / S system of designating chirality, based on the atomic numbers of atoms near the asymmetric carbon, they have R chirality, because of the presence of sulfur or ...
S-Aminoethyl-l-cysteine, also known as thialysine, is a toxic analog of the amino acid lysine in which the second carbon of the amino acid's R-group (side chain) has been replaced with a sulfur atom. Strictly speaking, L-thialysine is actually considered an S-(2-aminoethyl) analogue of L-cysteine.
l-Kynurenine is a metabolite of the amino acid l-tryptophan used in the production of niacin. Kynurenine is synthesized by the enzyme tryptophan dioxygenase , which is made primarily but not exclusively in the liver, and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase , which is made in many tissues in response to immune activation.

Cycloleucine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid. It could be classified as a cyclopentane derivative of norleucine, having two hydrogen atoms less. The α-carbon atom is not a stereocenter. Cycloleucine is a non-metabolisable amino acid that specifically and reversibly inhibits nucleic acid methylation. It is widely used in biochemical ...
