Post-translational protein modifications can affect lifespan and aging but age-dependent ubiquitylation changes have not yet been systematically characterized. Here, the authors analyze age-related proteome and ubiquitylome dynamics in Drosophila and identify increasing H2A ubiquitylation as a conserved aging marker.
