Antagonistic pleiotropy (AP) is a prevailing theory of the evolution of aging; however, it lacks direct experimental evidence at an individual gene level. We performed unbiased translatome analyses of Caenorhabditis elegans recovering from starvation and identified that the trl-1 gene hidden in a pseudogene generates proteinaceous products upon refeeding. Compared with wild-type animals, trl-1 mutants increased brood sizes, shortened the animals’ lifespan, and specifically impaired germline deficiency–induced longevity. The TRL-1 protein undergoes liquid–liquid phase separation, through which TRL-1 granules recruit vitellogenin messenger RNA and inhibit its translation. These results provide evidence that trl-1 regulates the reproduction–longevity tradeoff by optimizing nutrient production for the next generation, thereby supporting the AP theory of aging at the single-gene level. The antagonistic pleiotropy theory of aging proposes that genes enhancing fitness in early life limit the lifespan, but the molecular evidence remains underexplored. By profiling translatome changes in Caenorhabditis elegans during starvation recovery, we find that an open reading frame (ORF) trl-1 “hidden” within an annotated pseudogene significantly translates upon refeeding. trl-1 mutant animals increase brood sizes but shorten the lifespan and specifically impair germline deficiency–induced longevity. The loss of trl-1 abnormally up-regulates the translation of vitellogenin that produces copious yolk to provision eggs, whereas vitellogenin overexpression is known to reduce the lifespan. We show that the TRL-1 protein undergoes liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS), through which TRL-1 granules recruit vitellogenin messenger RNA and inhibit its translation. These results indicate that trl-1 functions as an antagonistic pleiotropic gene to regulate the reproduction–longevity tradeoff by optimizing nutrient production for the next generation.
