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

    MPT5 Overexpression of MPT5 from the ADH promoter extends replicative lifespan by about 20% in W303R [11805047] and by 25% in PSY142 [9150138], whereas the deletion of MPT5 shortens lifespan by about 50% [9150138; 7859289]. MPT5 deletion decreases average chronological lifespan by 50%, which is rescued to the wild-type level by PKC1 overexpression [17172436]. MPT5 mutants are temperature sensitive [7845352], hypersensitive to mating pheromone [9154842], and null mutants exhibit increased silencing at telomeres and decreased rDNA silencing [9584615]. Deletion of MPT5 is synthetical lethal with mutation of either SWI4, SWI6, or CCR4 in an ssd1-d background [11805047]. MPT5 overexpression suppresses the temperature phenotype of POP2 mutant [9504907]. MPT5 is required for relocalization of the SIR complex to the nucleolus in sir4-42 strain [7859289]. Budding yeast
    NDE1 NADH Dehydrogenase, External 1 Overexpression of NDE1 and NDE2 increases intracellular NAD/NADH ratio by lowering NADH concentration and increases replicative lifespan by 20-25%. This lifespan extension is non-additive 0.5% glucose restriction [14724176]. Deletion of NDE1 extends chronological lifespan [16436509]. Budding yeast
    NDE2 NADH Dehydrogenase, External 2 Overexpression of NDE1 and NDE2 increases intracellular NAD/NADH ratio by lowering NADH concentration and increases replicative lifespan by 20-25%. This lifespan extension is non-additive with 0.5% glucose restriction [14724176]. Budding yeast
    OSH7 OxySterol binding protein Homolog 7 Overexpression of OSH7 extends mean replicative lifespan. PERG6-OSH7 does not extend the maximum lifespan significantly [Xia et al., unpublished]. Deletion of the CC domain of Osh7 (Perg6-OSH7-ORD) greatly shortens the lifespan. Deletion of the Osh7's CC domain decreases lifespan (Perg6-OSH7-ORD) shortens the lifespan [Tang et al., personal communication]. Osh7 interacts with the late endosome ATPase Vps4 by their C-terminal coiled-coil (CC) domain. Budding yeast
    SSD1 Suppressor of SIT4 Deletion 1 Overexpression of SSD1 (addition of a SSD1-V allele) increases replicative lifespan by 50%, independently of SIR2 and SIR2 further extends the lifespan, although SIR2 is necessary for SSD1-V cells to attain maximal lifespan [15126388]. SSD1-V also dramatically increases chronological lifespan with lifespan twice as long as ssd1-d cells [19570907]. Deletion of SSD1 increases replicative lifespan by 50% [Li et al., 2009]. Addition of SSD1-V allele to an ssd1-d strain suppresses the short lifespan of an MPT5 deletion mutant [11805047] and extend wild-type lifespan [Kaeberlein and Guarente, unpublished]. SSD1-V slightly extends the lifespan of swi4 and ccr4 mutant strains and suppresses the temperature sensitive growth phenotype of mpt5, ccr3, swi4, and swi6 single mutants [11805047]. SSD1-V also suppresses the synthetic lethality caused by deletion of MPT5 in combination with a mutation in SWI4, SWI6, or CCR4 [11805047]. SSD1-V suppresses mutations that affect cell wall stability [1545797; 8386319], RNA polymerase III activity [8510644], RNA splicing [10446233], and PKA activity [1848673; 8200529]. Budding yeast
    PEP4 carboxyPEPtidase Y-deficient 4 Overexpression of vacuolar aspartyl protease (PEP4) extends chronological lifespan by increasing cytosolic polyamine and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) levels. Deletion of PEP4 results in both apoptotic and necrotic cell death during chronological aging [21593793]. PEP4 is not DR-essential [18690010]. Budding yeast
    VMA1 Vacuolar Membrane Atpase 1 Overexpression of VMA1 increases vacuolar acidity and suppresses age-induced mitochondrial dysfunction of aged cells (17 or 18 cell divisions) which requires the V-ATPase activity. VMA1 overexpression significantly increases mean, median and maximum lifespan by 39 - 45%, 39 - 48% and 50 - 60%, respectively. DR (0.5% glucose restriction) does not further increase the lifespan of VMA1 overexpression strain [23172144]. Budding yeast
    VPH2 Vacuolar pH 2 Overexpression of VPH2 increases the levels of assembled V-ATPase at the vacuolar membrane, increases vacuolar acidity and suppresses age-induced mitochondrial dysfunction of aged cells (17 or 18 cell divisions) which requires the V-ATPase activity. VPH2 overexpression significantly increases mean, median and maximum replicative lifespan by 23, 25 and 34%, respectively [23172144]. Budding yeast
    SOD2 SuperOxide Dismutase 2 SOD2 deletion decreases replicative lifespan by 72% [17460215]. SOD2 deletion decreases chronological lifespan [21076178]. Deletion of SOD2 decreases chronological lifespan in wild-type and abolishes chronological lifespan extension in sch9Delta mutants as well as decreases chronological lifespan in cyr1:mTn mutants [12586694]. Combined overexpression of SOD1 and SOD2 extends chronological lifespan by 30% in EG103 strain [12586694]. SOD2 deletion mutants are hypersensitive to oxygen and grow poorly in ethanol [10222047]. Budding yeast
    SOD1 SuperOxide Dismutase 1 The overexpression of Sods, mitochondrial Sod2 and cytosolic CuZnSod (Sod1), in combination delays the age-dependent reversible inactivation of mitochondrial aconitase, a superoxide-sensitive enzyme, and extends chronological lifespan by 30% [12586694]. Deletion of SOD1 decreases replicative lifespan by 40% [17460215]. Overexpression of SOD1 with CCS1 levuates the level of Cn, Zn-Sod activity and increased chronological lifespan. However overexpression of SOD1 without high cooper or simultonous overexpression of CCS1 shortened both chronological and replicative lifespan [15659212]. Overexpression of SOD1 has no effect on replicative lifespan [10224252]. Deletion of SOD1 shortens replicative lifespan by approximately 40%. The magnitude of the decrease in lifespan does not appear to dependent on oxygen concentration in the atmosphere [12020810]. Deletion of SOD1 shortens replicative lifespan [10547026]. Deletion of SOD1 shortens replicative as well as chronological lifespan [10222047]. Cells with a deletion of SOD1 exhibit a profound defect in entry into and survival during stationary phase (i.e. chronological lifespan) in the W303-B strain [8647826; 10222047], which is partially suppressed by expression of human Bcl-2 [9199172]. Hypersensitivity to oxygene and significantly decreased replicative lifespan of SOD1 deletion can be ameliorated by exogenous ascorbate. If acorbate's negative effects of auto-oxidation are prevented by exchange of medium, ascorbate prolongs mean and maximum replicative lifespan in the atmosphere of air and pure oxygene [15621721]. SOD1 deletion causes sensitivity to hyperoxia as well as methionine and lysine auxotrohies [9199172]. Budding yeast
