Hope of changing life
2003/05/09 Elhuyar Zientzia
Researchers at Harvard University have found in the United States that the length of life of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast is controlled by a protein. But this control is not as simple as it gives, while this protein, Pnc1, is part of a complex network of proteins and many products, and, in short, life expectancy depends on many factors.
At least the Sir2 protein that compacts DNA, coenzyme NAD, nicotinamod, and glucose level are involved in this network. Metabolic tensions among all have a curious consequence: when glucose is scarce around it, the longevity of the yeast increases.
