Engineering ATP import in yeast uncovers a synthetic route to extend cellular lifespan

Mitochondrial dysfunction and declining ATP production are common features of aging, yet whether ATP availability itself directly regulates cellular lifespan is unclear. However, the causal relationship between cellular ATP homeostasis and aging has not been established. Here, we developed a synthetic system to manipulate intracellular ATP independently of endogenous energy production by…
