Abstract: Slowing down translation in either the cytosol or the mitochondria is a conservedlongevity mechanism. Here, we found a non-interventional natural correlation of mitochondrialand cytosolic ribosomal proteins (RPs) in mouse population genetics, suggesting atranslational balance. Inhibiting mitochondrial translation in C. elegans through mrps-5 RNAi repressed cytosolic translation. Transcriptomics integrated with proteomicsrevealed that this inhibition specifically reduced translational efficiency of mRNAsrequired in growth pathways while increasing stress response mRNAs. The repressionof cytosolic translation and extension of lifespan from mrps-5 RNAi were dependent on atf-5/ATF4 and independent from metabolic phenotypes. We found the translational balanceto be conserved in mammalian cells upon inhibiting mitochondrial translation pharmacologicallywith doxycycline. Lastly, extending this in vivo, doxycycline repressed cytosolic translation in the livers of germ-free mice. Thesedata demonstrate that inhibiting mitochondrial translation initiates an atf-5/ATF4-dependent cascade leading to coordinated repression of cytosolic translation,which could be targeted to promote longevity.
