| pyk-1 | PYruvate Kinase 1 | RNA interference of pyk-1 during adulthood significantly shortens the lifespan of both wild-type and eat-2 mutants. RNAi knockdown of pyk-1 from hatching causes larval lethality. PYK-1 is downregulated in eat-2 mutants [22810224].
pyk-1(ok1754) mutation extends the lifespan and this effect is non-additive with the lifespan extension mediated by DDS treatment [20974969]. | Nematode |
| nlp-7 | Neuropeptide-Like Protein | nlp-7 RNAi or overexpression reduces oxidative stress resistance and shortens lifespan of wild-type under AL. nlp-7 RNAi significantly reduces extended lifespan of eat-2 mutants, but failed to block lifespan extension of age-1 or clk-1 mutants. Lifespan of nlp-7 mutants increases only moderately by sDR [19783783]. nlp-7 expression is induced under DR via the use of a chemically defined axenic medium [17023606] and by sDR [19783783]. | Nematode |
| cup-4 | Coelomocyte UPtake defective 4 | cup-4 RNAi or overexpession reduces oxidative stress resistance and shortens lifespan of wild-type under AL. cup-4 RNAi significantly reduces the extended lifespan of eat-2 mutants, but failed to block lifespan extension of age-1 or clk-1 mutants. Lifespan of cup-4 mutants increases only moderately by sDR [19783783]. | Nematode |
| W09C5.8 | — | RNAi against W09C5.8 increases mean and maximum lifespan by 62% and 50%, respectively [12447374]. Lifespan extension by RNAi of W09C5.8 is not suppressed by daf-16. Loss of W09C5.8 activity via RNAi can also result in a shortened lifespan, reduced fertility and defects in mitochondrial respiratory chain function [19074434].
W09C5.8 RNAi animals have lower ATP content and oxygen consumption [12447374]. | Nematode |
| old-1 | Overexpression Longevity Determinant | Overexpression of old-1 in transgenic animals increases mean and maximum lifespan by 40-100% (average 65%) and 97%, respectively. old-1 overexpression of increases stress resistance (to heat by 20% and ultraviolet irradiation by 33%) without altering development or fertility. Effects of old-1 on lifespan and stress resistance is under regulation of daf-16 [9768365].
old-1 mRNA levels are upregulated in response to stress and in daf-2 as well as age-1 mutant backgrounds [11591319]. old-1 expression is downregulated in daf-2 mutants [12845331]. old-1 RNAi in an rrf-3 mutant background slightly extends lifespan [12845331]. old-1 is expressed in the anterior region of the worm, in neuronal, hypodermal and pharyngeal tissues as well in the proximal region in the male gonad. Its expression is detectable in young adults and appears to increase as animals age and in response to heat, starvation, or UV irradiation. | Nematode |
| mdh-1 | Malate DeHydrogenase | RNAi against mdh-1 decreases median lifespan by 10% in wild type animals and by 16% in daf-2 mutants [18006689]. mdh-1 RNAi started after the animal reached the late L4 stage increases mean and maximum lifespan by 4-27% and 9% [22103665]. | Nematode |
| ins-1 | INSulin related | Increased dosage of ins-1 under its own promoter as well as a heat shock promoter increases lifespan by 25% and is also able to increase the lifespan of daf-2 mutants [11274053]. ins-1 RNAi increases lifespan by 20%. ins-1 is differentially transcribed in daf-16 and daf-2 animals [12845331]. Overexpression of ins-1 also causes an increase in dauer formation and can enhance the dauer formation of daf-2 mutants [11274053]. | Nematode |
| glp-1 | abnormal Germ Line Proliferation | glp-1(qu158) mutations result in defects in germ-line proliferation and extension of lifespan by about 30%, which requires daf-16 [11799246]. glp-1(bn18) mutation increases mean, median, 75th %ile and maximum lifespan by 27-37, 26-33, 24-29 and 35%, respectively [22560223]. glp-1(e2141) mutation increases mean (32%) and maximum (53%) lifespan [18828672]. Two alleles of glp-1 that cause overproliferation of gemrline cells, glp-1(oz112gf) and glp-1(q485), result in a shortened lifespan [11799246]. In glp-1 mutants, Z2 and Z3 generate only a few germ cells, which enter meiosis and differentiate as sperm [3677168]. | Nematode |
| eft-2 | Elongation FacTor | Post-developmental RNA interference reduces mean lifespan by 15% [17673661]. Knockdown of eft-2 started after the animal reached the late L4 stage increases mean lifespan by 6-27% and 8%, respectively [22103665]. | Nematode |
