Abstrakt: Budding yeast cells produce a finite number of daughter cells before they die. Why old yeast cells stop dividing and die is unclear. We found that age-induced accumulation of the G1/S-phase inhibitor Whi5 and defects in G1/S cyclin transcription cause cell cycle delays and genomic instability that result in cell death. We further identified extrachromosomal rDNA (ribosomal DNA) circles (ERCs) to cause the G1/S cyclin expression defect in old cells. Spontaneous segregation of Whi5 and ERCs into daughter cells rejuvenates old mothers, but daughters that inherit these aging factors die rapidly. Our results identify deregulation of the G1/S-phase transition as the proximal cause of age-induced proliferation decline and cell death in budding yeast.
