- Deletion of Sirt5 increases the levels of MiD51 and Fis1.
- Ablation of Sirt5 induces mitochondrial DRP1 accumulation and mitochondrial fission.
- Deletion of Sirt5 blocks the starvation-induced mitochondrial elongation.
- Sirt5 modulates mitophagy during starvation.
During starvation, intra-mitochondrial sirtuins, NAD+ sensitive deacylating enzymes that modulate metabolic homeostasis and survival, directly adjust mitochondrial function to nutrient availability; concomitantly, mitochondria elongate to escape autophagic degradation. However, whether sirtuins also impinge on mitochondrial dynamics is still uncharacterized. Here we show that the mitochondrial Sirtuin 5 (Sirt5) is essential for starvation induced mitochondrial elongation. Deletion of Sirt5 in mouse embryonic fibroblasts increased levels of mitochondrial dynamics of 51Â kDa protein and mitochondrial fission protein 1, leading to mitochondrial accumulation of the pro-fission dynamin related protein 1 and to mitochondrial fragmentation. During starvation, Sirt5 deletion blunted mitochondrial elongation, resulting in increased mitophagy. Our results indicate that starvation induced mitochondrial elongation and evasion from autophagic degradation requires the energy sensor Sirt5.
