Ribosome rescue factor Pelota extends lifespan and counters age-related pathology across species

Original reporting: Pelota-mediated ribosome-associated quality control counteracts aging and age-associated pathologies across species.

On the frontier: Function, Quantum biology

New research reveals that Pelota, a ribosome-associated quality control factor, promotes longevity by preventing mTOR hyperactivation and preserving autophagy-mediated proteostasis.

Three things to remember

  • Pelota is required for longevity in C. elegans.
  • It mitigates senescence, muscle aging, and Alzheimer’s neuropathology.
  • Mechanism: prevents mTOR hyperactivation, sustaining autophagy.
