| ATG16 | AuTophaGy related 16 | Under AL atg16 mutation shortens chronological, but not replicative lifespan. 0.5% glucose DR extends chronological lifespan of atg16 mutants, but amino-acid DR does not extend the short chronological lifespan of atg16 mutants (similar to several other autophagy mutants). ADE4 deletion in atg16 mutants results only in a partial extension of chronological lifespan by 0.5% glucose DR. The long chronological lifespan of tor1 mutants requires ATG16 [20421943]. | Budding yeast |
| unc-76 | UNCoordinated | unc-76(e911) allele extends male lifespan by about 50%, but has no effect on hermaphrodite lifespan [10747056].
unc-76 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. | Nematode |
| unc-51 | UNCoordinated-51 | unc-51(e369) mutation reduces mean but extends maximum lifespan. unc-51(e369) mutation reduces lifespan of eat-2(ad1116) mutants to that of wild-type [18219227]. | Nematode |
| unc-46 | UNCoordinated 46 | unc-46(e177) allele has no significant effect on lifespan [9789046].
unc-46 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. | Nematode |
| unc-32 | UNCoordinated | unc-32 mutation extends male lifespan by about 170%, but has no effect on hermaphrodite lifespan [10747056].
unc-31 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. | Nematode |
| unc-17 | UNCoordinated 17 | unc-17 encodes acteylcholine transporter which is expressed in motor [18041778] and inter-neurons and is downregulated in space. Mutation of unc-17 extends lifespan on NGM agar covered with killed or live bacteria. nc-17(CB933) extends mean, 75%ile, and maximum lifespan by 31-79%, 68-89%, and 68-79%. Lifespan extension by unc-17 mutation is totally abolished by RNAi inactivation of daf-16, but not skn-1. eat-2 RNAi further enhances the extension of lifespan by mutations of unc-17 [22768380].
Mutation and RNAi of unc-17 suppresses pheromone-induced dauer formation [22768380].

| UCHL1 | ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal esterase L1 (ubiquitin thiolesterase) | UCHL1 is assoicated with Parkinson's disease [9774100]. UCHL1 belongs to a family of de-ubiquitinating enzymes responsible for the hydrolysis of bonds between ubiquitin molecules and small adducts [11084366]. Decreased activity due to mutation may result in decreased labeling of abnormal proteins for clearance. | Human |
| Tsc1 | CG6147-PA Tuberous sclerosis complex genes 1 | Ubiquitously overexpression of UAS constructs (via the daughterless (da)-GAL-4 driver) containing dTSC1 extends mean lifespan at 29°C by 14% [15186745]. | Fruit fly |
| SOD1 | superoxide dismutase 1, soluble | Ubiquitous overexpression of SOD1 does not extend lifespan in mice. Homozyous transgenic mice with two- to five-fold overexpression of SOD1 in various tissues exhibit a light reduction in lifespan. Hemizygous transgenic mice, with 1.5- to 3-fold overexpression of SOD1 display no difference in lifespan compared with nontransgenic litermate controls [10719757]. Transgenic mice with a mutant SOD1 transgene develop neuronal cytoskeletal lesions resembling the human amytrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) phenotype [8610185]. Transgenic mice overexpressing SOD1 (and having 3.1-fold higher cellular Cu,Zn SOD activity in the brain) have reduced infarct size following experimental cerebral ischemia [1763030].SOD1 was not found to be associated with longevity [24163049]. | Human |
| S6k | RPS6-p70-protein kinase | Ubiquitous overexpression of a dominant-negative form of S6k (alias dS6K) increases mean lifespan by 22% and overexpression of a constitutively active form of S6k decreases mean lifespan by 34% at 29°C. Overexpression of a dominant-negative form of S6k protects mutants from deleterious effects of rich food, as if mimicking the effect of DR [15186745]. | Fruit fly |
| Cbs | — | Ubiquitous or neuron-specific transgenic overexpression of Cbs enhances longevity in fully-fed animals. Cbs RNAi partially abrogates increased lifespan by DR, but has no effect on fully fed animals. Cbs upregulation is required for increased lifespan under low-nutrient conditions. Response of male flies to DR is muted in comparison with females. Adult-specific ubiquitous expression of Cbs is sufficient to increase female mean and maximum lifespan by 12 - 43% and 10%, respectively. Males, whose lifespan is relatively less affected by DR, exhibite a smaller, but still significant increase in lifespan by 7% upon Cbs overexpression. Neuronal overexpression also increases lifespan, albeit modestly (approximately 12% mean and 15% maximum lifespan extension), whereas overexpression in the fat body and in the gut has no effect [21930912]. | Fruit fly |
| UBE2H | ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2H (UBC8 homolog, yeast) | UBE2H was found to be associated with longevity [22279548]. | Human |
| ubc-18 | UBiquitin Conjugating enzyme 18 | ubc-18 overexpression is unable to extend lifespan (possibly, UBC-18 is not limiting for WWP-1 function in lifespan). Loss of ubc-18 function by mutation or RNAi reduces lifespan at 25 degree Celsius, but only slightly at 20 degree Celsius. RNAi depletion of ubc-18 completely suppresses increased longevity of eat-2 mutants. RNAi depletion of ubc-18 has no effect on long lifespan of isp-1 or daf-2 mutants. Combined knockdown of wwp-1 and ubc-18 by RNAi does not shorten lifespan any further than RNAi of either single gene. Knockdown of ubc-18 suppresses extended lifespan of wwp-1 overexpression [19553937]. | Nematode |
