Abstract excerpt
Loss of the protein kinase Sch9p increases both the chronological life span (CLS) and the replicative life span (RLS) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by mimicking calorie restriction, but the physiological consequences of SCH9 deletion are poorly understood. By transcriptional profiling of an sch9Delta mutant, we show that mitochondrial electron transport chain genes are upregulated. Accordingly, protein levels of...
