The proteasome is critical for many key neuronal functions including neuronal plasticity, and memory formation/retention. Treatment with proteasome inhibitors impairs these processes. Our study reveals a marked reduction in 20S and 26S proteasome activities in aged mice brains, including in the hippocampus, this is driven by reduced functionality of aged proteasome. The decline in proteasome activity is matched by a decline in 20S proteasome assembly. In contrast, 26S proteasome assembly was found to increase with age, though 26S proteasome activity was still found to decline. Our data suggests that age-related declines in proteasome activity is driven predominantly by reduced functionality of proteasome rather than altered composition. By overexpressing the proteasome subunit PSMB5 in the neurons of mice to increase the proteasome content and thus enhance its functionality, we slowed age-related declines in spatial learning and memory. We then showed acute treatment with a proteasome activator to rescue spatial learning and memory deficits in aged mice.

To characterize the telomere-independent effects of <i>TERT</i> in the APC lineage, we analyzed mice with <i>TERT</i> knockout in mature adipocytes (AD-TERT-KO), which do not proliferate and avoid telomere attrition. Analysis of adipocytes from AD-TERT-KO mice indicated reliance on glycolysis and decreased mitochondrial oxidative metabolism. We show that AD-TERT-KO mice have reduced cold tolerance and metabolism abnormality indicating a defect in adaptive thermogenesis, characteristic of aging.

Thus, we investigated the phosphorylation levels of Ecl1 extracted from yeast under conditions of sulfur or metal starvation. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed that Ecl1 was phosphorylated at Thr7, and the level was decreased by starvation. The phosphorylation-mimetic mutation of Thr7 significantly reduced the effects of Ecl1-induced cellular responses to starvation, suggesting that Ecl1 function was suppressed by Thr7 phosphorylation. By contrast, regardless of starvation exposure, TORC1 was significantly suppressed, even when Thr7 phosphorylation-mimetic Ecl1 was overexpressed. This indicated that Ecl1 suppressed TORC1 regardless of Thr7 phosphorylation. We newly identified that Ecl1 physically interacted with TORC1 subunit RAPTOR (Mip1).
