The most common enzyme defect in humans is glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
(G6PD) deficiency, which affects more than 400 million people. G6PD shunts
glucose into the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) to generate nucleotides and
reducing potential in the form of NADPH. In this issue, Wang et al (2014) show
that G6PD activity is post-translationally regulated by SIRT2, a cytoplasmic
NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase, thereby linking NAD(+) levels to DNA repair and
oxidative defences, and identifying potential new approaches to treating this
common genetic disease.
