Background: Salt-inducible kinase (SIK) 2 is an AMP-activated protein kinase family kinase that mediates hormonal and nutrient signaling but has no known link to cellular stress response. Results: p300/CBP and HDAC6 reciprocally regulates Lys-53 acetylation of SIK2, consequently impacting its activity and function in autophagosome maturation. Conclusion: SIK2 kinase activity, via a acetylation-based regulatory switch, contributes to autophagy progression. Significance: SIK2 may be linked to neurodegenerative or protein aggregate disorders.

Pseudouridine (1) was synthesized by functional group interconversions of the Heck adduct 11 from 2,4-dimethoxy-5-iodopyrimidine (8) and ribofuranoid glycal 4.
