Depletion of PHB has opposite effects on ageing, shortening lifespan in wild-type worms while extending the lifespan of metabolically compromised animals, including insulin/IGF-1 receptor daf-2(e1370) mutants. PHB loss strongly induces the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) to maintain mitochondrial homeostasis, but this response is attenuated in daf-2 mutants. To uncover new regulators of this differential PHB-mediated stress response, as well as mechanisms behind the opposite longevity outcomes of PHB depletion, we carry out the first genome-wide double RNAi screen in C. elegans. We identify two transcription factors, ZNF-622 and TLF-1, and the histone deubiquitinase USP-48 as modulators of the UPRmt and longevity interacting with insulin signalling. We further show that USP-48 interacts with DVE-1 to regulate the UPRmt mostly independently of ATFS-1 through deubiquitylation of histone H2B. Collectively, this study proves the feasibility of double RNAi genetic screens and underlines the importance of epigenetic regulation in mitochondrial stress mediated longevity. *Sergio Gordillo-García and Jesús Fernandez-Abascal contributed equally.
