Identification Of Selected Ageing-Related Proteins And The Characterisation Of Ptc4 In Yeast
Ageing-related proteins play different roles in cellular processes such as regulating stress response, apoptosis, ubiquitin-proteasome system and signal transduction pathways amongst many others.

Ageing-related proteins play different roles in cellular processes such as regulating stress response, apoptosis, ubiquitin-proteasome system and signal transduction pathways amongst many others. Hundreds of ageing-related proteins have been revealed, but the roles of most of these ageing-related proteins are still unknown. In this study, the standardised chronological life span (CLS) assay, stress assay and growth assay were established. The CLS-extending effects of the ageing-related proteins, Ptc4, Zwf1, Sme1 and Sod1 selected from previous chronological life span (CLS) screen were validated through standardised colony forming unit (CFU) assay and the deletions of the selected ageing-related genes resulted in decreased CLS in yeast. Ptc4 contributes to oxidative stress tolerance in standardised oxidative stress assay and extends CLS the most among the selected ageing-related proteins. Zwf1 and Sod1 that contribute to oxidative stress tolerance in young cells, did not show oxidative stress tolerance in cells after prolonged ageing, suggesting the loss of oxidative stress tolerance capability after prolonged ageing.
