Abstract
The increased longevity of the C. elegans electron transport chain mutants isp-1 and nuo-6 is mediated by mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) signaling. Here we show that the mtROS signal is relayed by the conserved, mitochondria-associated, intrinsic apoptosis signaling pathway (CED-9/Bcl2, CED-4/Apaf1, and CED-3/Casp9) triggered by CED-13, an alternative BH3-only protein. Activation of the pathway by an elevation of mtROS does not affect apoptosis but protects from the consequences of mitochondrial dysfunction by triggering a unique pattern of gene expression that modulates stress sensitivity and promotes survival. In vertebrates, mtROS induce apoptosis through the intrinsic pathway to protect from severely damaged cells. Our observations in nematodes demonstrate that sensing of mtROS by the apoptotic pathway can, independently of apoptosis, elicit protective mechanisms that keep the organism alive under stressful conditions. This results in extended longevity when mtROS generation is inappropriately elevated. These findings clarify the relationships between mitochondria, ROS, apoptosis, and aging.

Cell death protein 4

Locus: CELE_C35D10.9

Wormbase description: ced-4 encodes a novel protein; along with CED-3, CED-4 is required for the initiation of programmed cell death; accordingly, genetic analyses indicate that ced-3 and ced-4 function upstream of ced-1, ced-2, and nuc-1 in the programmed cell death pathway; in yeast two-hybrid experiments, and upon coexpression in mammalian cells, CED-4 interacts with CED-9, an anti-apoptotic BCL-2 homolog; coexpression of CED-4 and CED-9 results in redistribution of CED-4 from the cytosol to organellar membranes, suggesting that CED-9 may negatively regulate CED-4 activity by sequestering CED-4 to intracellular membranes.

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.
