Discovery of a small peptide that activates both APCCdc20 and APCCdh1 in yeast, driving increased lifespan

Rachel Elizabeth Harris, Spike D. L. Postnikoff, Nishita K Shukla…·Troy A. A. Harkness

The paper identifies a small peptide, C43-4, that activates the APC Cdh1 complex in yeast, increasing chronological lifespan and showing evolutionary conservation in C. elegans.

Translational suppression via IFG-1/eIF4G confers resistance to stress-induced RNA alternative splicing in Caenorhabditis elegans

Samantha C. Chomyshen, Cheng‐Wei Wu

This study identifies IFG-1/eIF4G-mediated translation suppression as a mechanism protecting C. elegans from stress-induced splicing disruption and linking RNA homeostasis to longevity.
