Calorie restriction (CR) slows aging in numerous species. In the yeast Saccharomyces
cerevisiae, this effect requires Sir2, a conserved NAD+-dependent deacetylase. We report
that CR reduces nuclear NAD+ levels in vivo. Moreover, the activity of Sir2 and its human
homologue SIRT1 are not affected by physiological alterations in the NAD+: NADH ratio.
These data implicate alternate mechanisms of Sir2 regulation by CR.
