Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

Under normal conditions downregulation of NAT4 in yeast increased mean replicative lifespan by 21%. When yeast cells lacking NAT4 were subjected to calorie restriction (0.1% glucose versus 2% glucose) no further lifespan extension was displayed, lifespan was comparable to wild type cells under calorie restriction and yeast cells lacking NAT4 under normal conditions. Thus downregulation of NAT4 triggers a dietary restriction like effect.
