Abstract excerpt
We present results showing that glucose signaling has proaging effects in the yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Deletion of the receptor that senses extracellular glucose (Git3) increases the life span of S. pombe, while constitutive activation of the Galpha subunit acting downstream of this receptor (Gpa2) shortens its life span. The latter mutant is also impaired for growth under respiration conditions. We have...
