説明

<jats:p> Calorie restriction increases life span in many organisms, including the budding yeast <jats:italic>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</jats:italic> . From a large-scale analysis of 564 single-gene–deletion strains of yeast, we identified 10 gene deletions that increase replicative life span. Six of these correspond to genes encoding components of the nutrient-responsive TOR and Sch9 pathways. Calorie restriction of <jats:italic>tor1</jats:italic> D or <jats:italic>sch9</jats:italic> D cells failed to further increase life span and, like calorie restriction, deletion of either <jats:italic>SCH9</jats:italic> or <jats:italic>TOR1</jats:italic> increased life span independent of the Sir2 histone deacetylase. We propose that the TOR and Sch9 kinases define a primary conduit through which excess nutrient intake limits longevity in yeast. </jats:p>
