A Cluster of Three snoRNAs Including Jouvence Required in the Gut Determines Lifespan and Confers Neuroprotection Through Metabolic Parameters

12 hours 23 minutes ago
In our society, the aging of the population is a major public health concern. Recently we have identified a new snoRNA (jouvence) in Drosophila, and showed that its deletion (F4) reduces lifespan, while its overexpression increases it. F4 deleted flies also present neurodegenerative lesions and a deregulation of metabolic parameters such as triglycerides and sterols. However, a deeper characterization of this genomic locus has revealed the presence of two additional snoRNAs. Here, we have...
