Symbol: TSA1 Name: Thiol-Specific Antioxidant 1 Alias: ZRG14; TPX1; cTPxI Entrez gene ID: 854980 Ensembl gene ID: YML028W Species: Yeast (Taxid: 4932) Functional description: Tsa1p; Thioredoxin peroxidase, acts as both a ribosome-associated and free cytoplasmic antioxidant; self-associates to form a high-molecular weight chaperone complex under oxidative stress; deletion results in mutator phenotype [Source:SGD;Acc:S000004490] [Ensembl] Observation: A gain-of-function allele of peroxiredoxin (thioredoxin peroxidase, Tsa1) causes a dominant oxidative stress-resistance and robust premature aging phenotype with reduced mean lifespan. These effect is not provoked by altered Tsa1 levels, nor can it be stimulated by deletion, haploinssufficiency or overexpression of wild-type allele [20729566]. Disruption of TSA1 shortens chronological lifespan [15129730]. Replicative lifespan extension by DR in sir2;fob1 double mutant is reduced by TSA1 deletion mutant. Wild-type cells require TSA1 to fully extend lifespan. Mutation in CDC35 (adenylate cyclase), a genetic mimetic of DR, is dependent on TSA1 to extend lifespan [21884982]. Interventions: Assays: Replicative Lifespan Chronological Lifespan Classification: Aging Relevance Analysis/Source: Homologs Note: DR-essential only for replicative lifespan?
