The transcriptional coactivator CBP/p300 is an evolutionarily conserved node that promotes longevity in response to mitochondrial stress

Open access

Abstract

Organisms respond to mitochondrial stress by activating multiple defense pathways including the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPR mt). However, how UPR mt regulators are orchestrated to transcriptionally activate stress responses remains largely unknown. Here we identified CBP-1, the worm ortholog of the mammalian acetyltransferases CBP/p300, as an essential regulator of the UPR mt, as well as mitochondrial stress-induced immune response, reduction of amyloid-β aggregation and lifespan extension in Caenorhabditis elegans. Mechanistically, CBP-1 acts downstream of histone demethylases, JMJD-1.2/JMJD-3.1, and upstream of UPR mt transcription factors including ATFS-1, to systematically induce a broad spectrum of UPR mt genes and execute multiple beneficial functions. In mouse and human populations, transcript levels of CBP/p300 positively correlate with UPR mt transcripts and longevity. Furthermore, CBP/p300 inhibition disrupts, while forced expression of p300 is sufficient to activate, the UPR mt in mammalian cells. These results highlight an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that determines mitochondrial stress response, and promotes health and longevity through CBP/p300.

  • Loss of function of CBP/p300 is associated with familial AD and neuronal apoptosis.

    “and the loss of function of CBP/p300 is associated with familial AD and neuronal apoptosis [117,118,119,120,121].”

    From Rlip76: An Unexplored Player in Neurodegeneration and Alzheimer’s Disease? (2022) · cites this paper as [120]

    The Discussion (page unavailable in our copy) says changes in CBP/p300 function are associated with Alzheimer’s disease, and the Results report that cbp-1 knockdown worsened amyloid-β aggregation in a worm AD model. Neither passage specifies familial AD or links CBP/p300 loss of function to neuronal apoptosis; the worm model expresses amyloid-β in muscle cells. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
