skn-1 mutation

Species: Nematode (Taxid: 6239)
Factor: skn-1
Manipulation: Loss-of-Function, Mutation
Effect:

skn-1 mutation does not alter lifespan under AL, but cancels out the lifespan extension effect of lDR or food variation at all. Response to lDR in skn-1 mutant is restored by ectopic expression of skn-1 in ASI neurons and gut. Ectopic expression of skn-1b in ASI neurons rescued lDR longevity defects of skn-1. lDR worms exhibit elevated respiration, which is absent in skn-1 mutants. skn-1 is necessary for increased respiration and the increase in respiration is necessary for lDR longevity effect, because two different inhibitors of mitochondrial electron transport chain complex III, myxothiazol and antimycin, suppress lDR longevity without shortening lifespan under AL. IF significantly extends lifespan of skn-1 mutants [19079239]. sDR extends lifespan of a skn-1 loss-of-function mutant (which displays a premature stop codon in all three isoforms) and wild-type to a similar extent [19239417]. skn-1(zu67) mutation decreases mean, median, and maximum lifespan by 11-23, 13-28 and 12-23%, respectively, and totally cancels out lifespan extension by ragc-1 RNAi [22560223].

Mean: -11 to -23
Median: -13 to -28
Maximum: -12 to -23
