Overexpression of both uL6A or uL6B accelerates aging in the budding yeast. The level of uL6A mRNA is tightly controlled by yeast cell. The uL6a protein plays a pivotal role in the response to environmental stress, including oxidative and osmotic stress, and thus may fall into the class of moonlighting ribosomal proteins with extra-ribosomal function.
