Yeast replicative life span--the mitochondrial connection.
Mitochondria have been associated with aging in many experimental systems through the damaging action of reactive oxygen species. There is more, however, to the connection between mitochondria and Saccharomyces cerevisiae longevity and aging. Induction of the retrograde response, a pathway signaling mitochondrial dysfunction, results in the extension of life span and postponement of the manifes...
متن کاملChronological aging-independent replicative life span regulation by Msn2/Msn4 and Sod2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Mutations in RAS2, CYR1, and SCH9 extend the chronological life span in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by activating stress-resistance transcription factors and mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (Sod2). Here we show that mutations in CYR1 and SCH9 also extend the replicative life span of individual yeast mother cells. However, the triple deletion of stress-resistance genes MSN2/MSN4 and RIM15, which...
متن کاملMeasuring Replicative Life Span in the Budding Yeast
Aging is a degenerative process characterized by a progressive deterioration of cellular components and organelles resulting in mortality. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used extensively to study the biology of aging, and several determinants of yeast longevity have been shown to be conserved in multicellular eukaryotes, including worms, flies, and mice. Due to the lack of ...
متن کاملMutant models of prolonged life span.
Aging is an important biological process that affects all creatures. For humans, age-related diseases and the question of why we age and die also have tremendous social and philosophical impact. We can therefore expect that models to study mechanisms of the aging process will always attract much interest. Until recently, the mutant model approach to study molecular mechanisms of aging has been ...
متن کاملQuantifying yeast chronological life span by outgrowth of aged cells.
The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has proven to be an important model organism in the field of aging research. The replicative and chronological life spans are two established paradigms used to study aging in yeast. Replicative aging is defined as the number of daughter cells a single yeast mother cell produces before senescence; chronological aging is defined by the length of time cel...
