Living on the edge: stress and activation of stress responses promote lifespan extension

class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 1. Activation of Sty1 stress response pathway is required for life extension upon calorie restriction. Scheme depicting the role of the Sty1 pathway on life-span promotion (see text for details). Strains 972 (WT), AV18 (Δsty1) and AV15 (Δatf1) were grown in YE-1% glucose media (calorie restriction condition) and YE-4% glucose media (glucose-rich conditions). At the logarithmic phase (Log) or 120 hours after reaching the stationary phase (Day 5) serial dilutions of the cultures were plated onto YE plates.
