SIRT5 Desuccinylates and Activates Pyruvate Kinase M2 to Block Macrophage IL-1β Production and to Prevent DSS-Induced Colitis in Mice

LPS-activated macrophages undergo a metabolic shift from dependence on mitochondria-produced ATP to reliance on aerobic glycolysis, where PKM2 is a critical determinant. Here, we show that PKM2 is a physiological substrate of SIRT5 and that SIRT5-regulated hypersuccinylation inhibits the pyruvate ki... View More
