Peroxiredoxins are modulators of aging in yeast and multicellular organisms. The mechanisms by which peroxiredoxins stimulate H2O2 resistance and slow down aging are, however, unclear. Here we show that the yeast peroxiredoxin Tsa1 boosts H2O2 resistance and prevents aging independent of cellular H2...
