Abstract
Loss of proteostasis is a fundamental process driving aging. Proteostasis is affected by the accuracy oftranslation, yet the physiological consequence of having fewer protein synthesis errors during multi-cellular organismal aging is poorly understood. Our phylogenetic analysis of RPS23, a key protein in the ribosomaldecoding center, uncovered a lysine residue almost universally conserved across all domains of life, whichis replaced by an arginine in a small number of hyperthermophilic archaea. When introduced into eukaryoticRPS23 homologs, this mutation leads to accurate translation, as well as heat shock resistance and longer life,in yeast, worms, and flies. Furthermore, we show that anti-aging drugs such as rapamycin, Torin1, and tra-metinib reduce translation errors, and that rapamycin extends further organismal longevity in RPS23 hyper-accuracy mutants. This implies a unified mode of action for diverse pharmacological anti-aging therapies.These findings pave the way for identifying novel translation accuracy interventions to improve aging.
