Factors

We need to know every factor which determines lifespan.

Lifespan factors often but not always originate from defined genetic elements. They are not just genes, by definition they can be anything for which a Classifications schema can be build for that is related to the regulation of lifespan, such entities may include Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism, transcript variants, proteins and their complexes, compounds (i.e. small molecules like metabolites and drugs), etc. A factor should be based on a defined molecular entity or genomic position and been classified. It shall be highly flexible and scalable Concept.

While individual lifespan factors within each species or precise defined molecular entities will be captured within the Lifespan App, Data Entries of the Data App may summarize for instance the relevance of each factor class (e.g. homologous group; chemical derivate of related structure and properties, etc.) as well as draw overall conclusions. o

TSL1 mutants have higher trehalose levels, but reaches a plateau at the level of 50-70% of wild-type in the stationary phase.

    Trp53 Transformation related protein 53 Mice heterozyogous for an allele of p53 that removes the 5' portion of the protein demonstrate decreased cancer, permature aging phenotypes, and shortened lifespan in the mixed inbred C57BL/6–129/Sv background. It has been proposed that the this allele of p53 results in increased activity/overexpression [11780111]. Decreased activity of Trp53 results in increased cancer and decreased apoptosis. Mutant mice with activated Trp53 display enhanced resistance to spontaneous tumours and signs of premature ageing including reduced lifespan, osteoporosis, organ atrophy and a diminished stress tolerance [11780111]. However, super-p53 mice generate by a transgenic copy of a large genomic segment containing an intact and complete copy of p53 have an ehanced response to DNA damage, are significantly protected from cancer and had no indication of accelerated aging [12426394]. super-Ink4a/Arf/p53 mice have a synergic protection against cancer and delayed aging [Workshop RoSyBa 2011]. House mouse

    TOR1 Target Of Rapamycin 1 TOR1 deletion extends mean and maximum replicative lifespan by 21 and 25% [16293764] as well as chronological lifespan [21076178]. This lifespan extension is independent of SIR2 and additive with deletion of FOB1 [16293764]. Deletion of TOR1 fails to increase the replicative lifespan of a sir2 mutant [20947565]. Deletion of TOR1 substantially extends chronological lifespan, increasing median survival almost 3-fold (wild-type 4.5 days, tor1 null 12 days), i.e. by 167%. By 21 days in culture, the vast majority of wild-type cells had died (>99.9%), whereas many tor1 null cells remained viable. Deletion of TOR1 also extends the chronological lifespan of the relatively short-lived BY4742 strain, one of the two haploid genetic backgrounds of the widely used Yeast Knockout Collection available from Open Biosystems. Deletion of TOR1 fails to extend chronological lifespan in Petite strains that are unable to respire [17403371]. TOR1 deletion increases replicative lifespan by 30% in the alpha strain and 20% in a strain [19030232]. TOR1 deletion mutant have and increased mean and maximum replicative lifespan by 21% and 6%, respectively [21931558]. Deletion of TOR1 extends replicative lifespan as well as chronological lifespan [21076178] and glucose restriction fails to further extend the long replicative lifespan of tor1Delta [16293764; 16418483; 18225956]. Water starvation (extreme DR) further extends chronological lifespan of tor1 mutants [18225956]. Budding yeast
    Tor Target of rapamycin Expression of a dominant-negative form of Tor extends lifespan [15186745]. Ubiquitious overexpression of dTOR with the da-GAL4 driver of UAS-dTOR(FRB) which contains the 11kDA FKB12-rapamycin binding domain led to a mean and maximum lifespan increase of 15% (24%) and 29% at 29°C and of 50% (26%) and 13% at 25°C, respectively [15186745]. Overexpression of the dominant-negative form of Tor specifically in the fat and muscle tissues is sufficient to extend the mean and maximum lifespan by 24 and 19%, respectively [15186745]. Overexpression of UAS-dTOR(WT) or UAS-dTOR(TED) prevents eclosion to adulthood [15186745]. Fruit fly
    tdp-1 TAR DNA-binding Protein homolog 1 tdp-1(ok803) mutation increases mean and maximum lifespan at 20 degree Celsius but not at 25 degree Celsius. tdp-1(ok803) reduce the lifespan of daf-2(e1370) mutants, but does not does not reduces the lifespan of daf-16(mu86) mutants. RNAi against tdp-1 reduces lifepsna of daf-2(e1370) mutants. tdp-1 overexpression strains have a reduced lifespan at 20 and 25 degree Celsius [Vaccaro et al. 2012]. Nematode
