Cellular redox homeostasis, reactive oxygen species and replicative ageing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TLDR
This review discusses aspects of ROS in relation to replicative ageing in the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with reference to ROS generated in cells; cellular responses to oxidative stress; and how cells maintain redox homeostasis in different cellular compartments.
Abstract
Ageing cells undergo changes in redox homeostasis and acquire high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Because accumulation of ROS involves a change in redox state of cells, functions that are involved in setting redox and maintaining redox homeostasis are very relevant to an understanding of the possible roles of redox homeostasis and ROS in ageing. This review discusses these aspects of ROS in relation to replicative ageing in the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with reference to ROS generated in cells; cellular responses to oxidative stress; and how cells maintain redox homeostasis in different cellular compartments. It also considers when ROS generation begins as cells age, which ROS species are relevant to ageing and which cellular compartments and processes may contribute ROS to the ageing process. The discussion also covers the heterogeneity of cells with respect to ROS accumulation at particular cell ages, and the possibility of testing the oxidative theory of ageing in yeast cells.

Ribosomal DNA and cellular senescence: new evidence supporting the connection between rDNA and aging.

TL;DR: An integrative model of the rDNA theory of aging is proposed that encompasses genomic instability, chromatin relocalization following DNA repair, and replication stress in a self-reinforcing cyclical pathway that is primarily manifested at the r DNA repeats and results in the aging phenotype.
