| wah-1 | Worm AIF (apoptosis inducing factor) Homolog | wah-1 RNAi in the adulthood extends the lifespan [New longevity regulators]. RNAi against wah-1 started after the animal reaches the late L4 stage extends mean lifespan by 7-8% [22103665]. | 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 |
| vps-37 | related to yeast Vacuolar Protein Sorting factor | RNA interference of vps-37 decreases median lifespan by 44% in wild-type animals, 47% in a daf-2 background and 33% in daf-2/daf-16 double mutants [18006689]. | Nematode |
| vit-5 | VITellogenin structural genes (yolk protein genes) 5 | RNA interference against vit-5 extends mean lifespan by 10-22%. vit-5 is differentially transcribed in daf-16 and daf-2 RNAi animals [12845331]. RNAi knockdown of vit-5 starting at hatching or only during the adulthood significantly extends lifespan of wild-type, but does not alter, or even shortens the lifespan of eat-2 mutants [22810224]. | Nematode |
| vit-2 | VITellogenin structural genes (yolk protein genes) | vit-2 RNA interference extends mean lifespan by 21-24%. vit-2 is differentially transcribed in daf-16 and daf-2 RNAi animals [12845331].
vit-2 functions in germ-line development by regulating the abundance of native versus oxidized LDL-like lipoproteins [11408580]. | Nematode |
| 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-64 | UNCoordinated | Mutations in unc-64 result in constitutive dauer formation and increase lifespan, which is suppressed by mutations in daf-16 [10377425]. unc-64 mutation increases mean and maximum lifespan [16280150]. unc-64 mutation increased lifespan of hermaphrodites by approximately 70% and those of males by 150% [10377425; 4366476; 10747056].
unc-64 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. | Nematode |
| unc-52 | UNCoordinated 52 | RNA interference of unc-52 in adulthood extends mean lifespan by 11% [17411345]. RNAi knockdown of unc-52 starting at hatching or only during the adulthood significantly decreases lifespan of eat-2 without affecting wild-type lifespan. UNC-52 levels are elevated in eat-2 mutants. Increased content of UNC-52 is, at least partially, required for lifespan-extension by DR [22810224]. | Nematode |
| unc-4 | UNCoordinated | Lifespan of unc-4(e120) males is extended relative to hermaphrodites approximately 2-fold [10747056]. Mutation in unc-4 has no significant effect on hermaphrodite lifespan [9789046].
unc-4 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-26 | UNCoordinated | Mutations in unc-26 extend lifespan by 30-50%. Lifespan extension is proposed to be similar to DR [9789046].
unc-26 mutants are uncoordinated, slow and have defects in pharyngeal pumping [4366476; 8462849]. | 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].
