Abstract
Calorie restriction is the only physiological intervention that extends lifespan throughout all kingdoms of life. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cytosolic pH (pH<sub>c</sub> ) controls growth and responds to nutrient availability, decreasing upon glucose depletion. We investigated the interactions between glucose availability, pH<sub>c</sub> and the central nutrient signalling cAMP-Protein Kinase A (PKA) pathway. Glucose abundance during the growth phase enhanced acidification upon glucose depletion, via modulation of PKA activity. This actively controlled reduction in starvation pH<sub>c</sub> correlated with reduced stationary phase survival. Whereas changes in PKA activity affected both acidification and survival, targeted manipulation of starvation pH<sub>c</sub> showed that cytosolic acidification was downstream of PKA and the causal agent of the reduced chronological lifespan. Thus, caloric restriction controls stationary phase survival through PKA and cytosolic pH.
