Dsup, a tardigrade protein, extends the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration and enhancing resistance to oxidative stress. Tardigrades can survive extreme environments partly thanks to a protein called Dsup, which protects DNA from ionizing radiation and oxidative stress. Encoded by a unique tardigrade gene, the Dsup protein is largely unstructured but binds […]
