Telomerase-deficient cells of the budding yeastS. cerevisiaeexperience progressive telomere shortening and undergo senescence in a manner similar to that seen in cultured human fibroblasts. The cells exhibit a DNA damage checkpoint-like stress response, undergo changes in size and morphology, and eventually stop dividing. In this study, a new assay is described that allowed quantitation of senescence in telomerase-deficientest2cells with applied statistics. Use of the new technique revealed that senescence was strongly accelerated inest2mutants that had homologous recombination genes RAD51,RAD52orRAD54co-inactivated, but was only modestly affected whenRAD55,RAD57orRAD59were knocked out. Additionally, a new approach for calculating population doublings indicated that loss of growth capacity occurred after approximately 64 generations inest2cells but only 42 generations inest2 rad52cells. Phase contrast microscopy experiments demonstrated that senescingest2cells became enlarged in a time-dependent manner, ultimately exhibiting a 60% increase in cell size. Progressive alterations in physical properties were also observed, including striking changes in light scattering characteristics and cellular sedimentation rates. The results described herein will facilitate future studies of genetic and environmental factors that affect telomere shortening-associated cell senescence rates using the yeast model system.
