Abstract
Reducing protein synthesis slows growth and development but can increase adult life span. We demonstrate that knockdown of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4G (eIF4G), which is downregulated during starvation and dauer state, results in differential translation of genes important for growth and longevity in C. elegans. Genome-wide mRNA translation state analysis showed that inhibition of IFG-1, the C. elegans ortholog of eIF4G, results in a relative increase in ribosomal loading and translation of stress response genes. Some of these genes are required for life span extension when IFG-1 is inhibited. Furthermore, enhanced ribosomal loading of certain mRNAs upon IFG-1 inhibition was correlated with increased mRNA length. This association was supported by changes in the proteome assayed via quantitative mass spectrometry. Our results suggest that IFG-1 mediates the antagonistic effects on growth and somatic maintenance by regulating mRNA translation of particular mRNAs based, in part, on transcript length.

Cytochrome b-c1 complex subunit Rieske, mitochondrial

Locus: CELE_F42G8.12

Wormbase description: isp-1 encodes a Rieske iron sulphur protein (ISP) which is a subunit of the mitochondrial complex III in the mitochondrial membrane; the subunits are highly conserved in all mitochondria and aerobic bacteria; mitochondrial complex III catalyses electron transport from ubiquinol to cytochrome c; isp-1 mutants show low oxygen consumption, a decreased sensitivity to reactive oxygen species and increased lifespan suggesting that mitochondrial electron transport is a key factor affecting life span; isp-1 affects the rates of physiological processes like reproduction and development and also affects behavior.

Calcium-transporting ATPase

Locus: CELE_K11D9.2

Wormbase description: The sca-1 gene encodes a sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca[2+] ATPase homolog that is required for development and muscle function; sca-1 is also a ortholog of human ATP2A1 (OMIM:108730), which when mutated leads to Darier-White disease (OMIM:124200).
