Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae mother cells undergo an aging program that includes morphologic changes, sterility, redistribution of the Sir transcriptional silencing complex from HM loci and telomeres to the nucleolus, alterations in nucleolar architecture, and accumulation of extrachromosomal ribosomal DNA circles (ERCs). We report here that cells starved for nutrients during prolonged periods in stationary phase...
