Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species (mtROS) are cellular messengers essential for cellular homeostasis. In response to stress, reverse electron transport (RET) by respiratory complex I generates high levels of mtROS. Suppression of ROS produced via RET (ROS-RET) reduces survival under stress, while activation of ROS-RET extends lifespan in basal conditions. Here, we demonstrate that ROS-RET signalling requires increased electron entry and uninterrupted electron flow through the electron transport chain (ETC). We found that ROS-RET is abolished in old fruit flies where electron flux is reduced. Instead, mitochondria in aged flies produce consistently high levels of mtROS. Finally, we demonstrate that in young flies reduction of electron exit from the ETC, but not electron entry, phenocopies mtROS generation observed in old individuals. Our results define the mechanism by which ROS signalling is lost during ageing. HighlightsO_LIROS-RET signalling requires an uninterrupted flow of electrons through the ETC.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
