Deletion of SOD1 decreases replicative lifespan by 40% [17460215]. Cells with a deletion of SOD1 exhibit a profound defect in entry into and survival during stationary phase (i.e. chronological lifespan) in the W303-B strain [8647826; 10222047], which is suppressed by expression of human Bcl-2 [9199172]. Deletion of SOD1 shortens replicative lifespan by approximately 40%. The magnitude of the decrease in lifespan does not appear to dependent on oxygen concentration in the atmosphere [12020810]. Deletion of SOD1 shortens replicative lifespan [10547026] Deletion of SOD1 shortens replicative as well as chronological lifespan [10222047].
Hypersensitivity to oxygene and significantly decreased replicative lifespan of SOD1 deletion can be ameliorated by exogenous ascorbate. If acorbate's negative effects of auto-oxidation are prevented by exchange of medium, ascorbate prolongs mean and maximum replicative lifespan in the atmosphere of air and pure oxygene [15621721].
SOD1 deletion causes sensitivity to hyperoxia as well as methionine and lysine auxotrohies [9199172].
