Article Abstract
Plasma membrane damage (PMD) occurs in all cell types due to environmental perturbation and cell-autonomous activities. However, cellular outcomes of PMD remain largely unknown except for recovery or death. In this study, using budding yeast and normal human fibroblasts, we found that cellular senescence-stable cell cycle arrest contributing to organismal aging-is the long-term outcome of PMD. Our genetic screening using budding yeast unexpectedly identified a close genetic association between PMD response and replicative lifespan regulations. Furthermore, PMD limits replicative lifespan in budding yeast; upregulation of membrane repair factors ESCRT-III (SNF7) and AAA-ATPase (VPS4) extends it. In normal human fibroblasts, PMD induces premature senescence via the Ca-p53 axis but not the major senescence pathway, DNA damage response pathway. Transient upregulation of ESCRT-III (CHMP4B) suppressed PMD-dependent senescence. Together with mRNA sequencing results, our study highlights an underappreciated but ubiquitous senescent cell subtype: PMD-dependent senescent cells.

Aging, and by extension age-related diseases, has traditionally been understood through classical evolutionary genetic models, such as the mutation accumulation and antagonistic pleiotropy theories. However, these frameworks primarily focus on the declining efficacy of organismal-level selection against mutations with deleterious effects in late life. Here, we propose a novel hypothesis: many chronic diseases associated with aging may emerge, at least in part, as a result of selection acting at lower organizational levels, including non-replicative biological entities, enabled by the relaxation of selective pressures that constrained within-organism evolutionary processes in early life.

Streptococcus pneumoniae colonizes human airways, where it acquires sugars from glycosylated mucins using glycoside hydrolases and sugar transport systems. This study identifies widespread nucleotide sequence variation in the promoter of a pneumococcal operon encoding a glycan scavenging system. We identify 78 promoter sequence patterns across 21,155 genomes, with variation clustered within a stretch of adenines, where mutations accumulate via strand slippage during DNA replication.

The regulation of cellular metabolism and growth in response to nutrient availability is crucial for cell survival and can significantly impact on lifespan. Central to this regulation is a class of transporters that sense and transport specific nutrients and transduce the signal downstream to control genes responsible for growth and survival. In this study, we identified SUL1, a plasma membrane transporter responsible for regulating the entry of extracellular sulfate in , as a key gene for regulating lifespan.

Viruses depend on their hosts for completing their life cycle, and a better understanding of virus replication can inform therapeutic strategies. Using the Orsay virus- experimental platform, we identified by a forward genetic screen the host gene (renamed ) as a novel host factor critical for Orsay virus replication. Three distinct mutations of each resulted in a >1,000-fold reduction in Orsay viral load, demonstrating a pro-viral function of had no previously described function in , but in the absence of viral infection, deletion of the locus by CRISPR/Cas9 led to a reduction in brood size and a shortened lifespan.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive muscular degenerative disease that is recessively inherited through the X chromosome. Various mutations in the dystrophin gene lead to noticeable muscle weakness. The effects on skeletal and cardiac tissue result in progressive immobility and cardiac dysfunction, respectively.
