Across organisms, manipulation of biosynthetic capacity arrests development early in life, but can increase health- and lifespan post-developmentally. Here we demonstrate that this developmental arrest is not sickness but rather a regulated survival program responding to reduced cellular performance. We inhibited protein synthesis by reducing ribosome biogenesis (rps-11/RPS11 RNAi), translation initiation (ifg-1/EIF3G mutation and egl-45/EIF3A RNAi), or ribosome progression (cycloheximide treatment), all of which result in a specific arrest at larval stage 2 of C. elegans development. This quiescent state can last for weeks—beyond the normal C. elegans adult lifespan—and is reversible, as animals can resume reproduction and live a normal lifespan once released from the source of protein synthesis inhibition. The arrest state affords resistance to thermal, oxidative, and heavy metal stress exposure. In addition to cell-autonomous responses, reducing biosynthetic capacity only in the hypodermis was sufficient to drive organism-level developmental arrest and stress resistance phenotypes. Among the cell non-autonomous responses to protein synthesis inhibition is reduced pharyngeal pumping that is dependent upon AMPK-mediated signaling. The reduced pharyngeal pumping in response to protein synthesis inhibition is recapitulated by exposure to microbes that generate protein synthesis-inhibiting xenobiotics, which may mechanistically reduce ingestion of pathogen and toxin. These data define the existence of a transient arrest-survival state in response to protein synthesis inhibition and provide an evolutionary foundation for the conserved enhancement of healthy aging observed in post-developmental animals with reduced biosynthetic capacity. Protein synthesis is an essential cellular process, but post-developmental reduction of protein synthesis across multiple species leads to improved health- and lifespan. To better understand the physiological responses to impaired protein synthesis, we characterize a novel developmental arrest state that occurs when reducing protein synthesis during C. elegans development. Arrested animals have multiple survival-promoting phenotypes that are all dependent on the cellular energy sensor, AMP kinase. This survival response acts through the hypodermis and causes a reduction in pharyngeal pumping, indicating that the animal is responding to a perceived external threat, even in adults. Furthermore, exposing animals to pathogens, or xenobiotics they produce, can recapitulate these phenotypes, providing a potential evolutionary explanation for how a beneficial response in adults could evolve through the inhibition of an essential biological process such as protein synthesis.
