eat-2 mutations result in partial starvation by disrupting the function of the pharynx and an approximately 50% extension of lifespan. eat-2 mutants life significant longer by up to 57% [9789046]. eat-2(ad1116) mutants have an extended mean, 75%ile and maximum lifespan by 30, 35, and 24% [22810224]. sDR further increases the long lifespan of eat-2 mutants [19239417]. eat-2 mutants live longer than wild-type at high food concentration but are short lived at lower concentrations (via bacterial dilution) [19229346]. eat-2(ad1113) mutation increases mean lifespan by 56% and is non-additive with SCNA overexpression [16782295]. Combining eat-2 mutation with bacterial deprivation DR does not result in an additive increase in lifespan [17081160;17096674]. Loss of function of eat-2 extends lifespan by 20-30%. Lifespan extension is proposed to be similar to DR. eat-2;daf-2 double mutant live longer than daf-2 single mutants [9789046]. Therefore, eat-2 mutants can synergize with daf-2 mutants, but not with clk-1 mutants, for lifespan extension. Lifespan extension conferred by eat-2 is not suppressed by daf-16 mutation [9789046].
