asg-1

Symbol: asg-1
Name: ATP Synthase G homolog 1
Entrez gene ID: 172673
Ensembl gene ID: K07A12.3
Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239)

Functional description:
Homolog of ATP synthase G required for growth at a normally high rate and normal osmoregulation; Mitochondrial membrane ATP synthase (F(1)F(0) ATP synthase or Complex V) produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane which is generated by electron transport complexes of the respiratory chain. F-type ATPases consist of two structural domains, F(1) - containing the extramembraneous catalytic core, and F(0) - containing the membrane proton channel, linked together by a central stalk and a peripheral stalk. During catalysis, ATP synthesis in the catalytic domain of F(1) is coupled via a rotary mechanism of the central stalk subunits to proton translocation. Part of the complex F(0) domain. Minor subunit located with subunit a in the membrane (By similarity). [UniProt]

Observation:

RNA interference of asg-1 leads to lifespan extension [15998808].
