Model organisms have played an important role in the elucidation of multiple genes and cellular processes that regulate aging. In this study we utilized the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in a large-scale screen for genes that function in the regulation of chronological lifespan, which is defined by the number of days that non-dividing cells remain viable. A pooled collection of viable haploid gene deletion mutants, each tagged with unique identifying DNA “bar-code” sequences was chronologically aged in liquid culture. Viable mutants in the aging population were selected at several time points and then detected using a microarray DNA hybridization technique that quantifies abundance of the barcode tags. Multiple short- and long-lived mutants were identified using this approach. Among the confirmed short-lived mutants were those defective for autophagy, indicating a key requirement for the recycling of cellular organelles in longevity. Defects in autophagy also prevented lifespan extension induced by limitation of amino acids in the growth media. Among the confirmed long-lived mutants were those defective in the highly conserved de novo purine biosynthesis pathway (the ADE genes), which ultimately produces IMP and AMP. Blocking this pathway extended lifespan to the same degree as calorie (glucose) restriction. A recently discovered cell-extrinsic mechanism of chronological aging involving acetic acid secretion and toxicity was suppressed in a long-lived ade4Δ mutant and exacerbated by a short-lived atg16Δ autophagy mutant. The identification of multiple novel effectors of yeast chronological lifespan will greatly aid in the elucidation of mechanisms that cells and organisms utilize in slowing down the aging process. The aging process is associated with the onset of several age-associated diseases including diabetes and cancer. In rodent model systems, the dietary regimen known as caloric restriction (CR) is known to delay or prevent these diseases and to extend lifespan. As a result, there is a great deal of interest in understanding the mechanisms by which CR functions. The budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has proven to be an effective model for the analysis of genes and cellular pathways that contribute to the regulation of aging. In this study we have performed a microarray-based genetic screen in yeast that identified short- and long-lived mutants from a population that contained each of the viable haploid gene deletion mutants from the yeast gene knockout collection that were pooled together. Using such an approach, we were able to identify genes from several pathways that had not been previously implicated in aging, including some that appear to contribute to the CR effect induced by restriction of either amino acids or sugar. These results are expected to provide new groundwork for future mechanistic aging studies in more complex organisms.
