    IPT1 transposition Transposon-mediated mutation of IPT1 increases oxidative stress resistance and chronological lifespan by 40% [16527275]. Yeast +40
    SCH9 Transposition Transposon-mediated mutagenesis of SCH9, which encodes for a serine threonine kinase homologous to Akt/PKB, increases resistance to oxidants and thermal stress as well as extends chronological lifespan by 30% [11292860]. Yeast +30
    Transient CDC7 inactivation Transient inactivation of CDC7 results in a shortened replicative lifespan [2698814]. Yeast
    Coq7 overexpression Transgenic overexpression of mouse Coq7 reverts the extended lifespan of clk-1 mutants [11511092]. Worm
    SNCA overexpression Transgenic lines overexpressing either human wild-type or mutant (A53T) forms of the SNCA (alpha-synclein) gene under a pan-neuronal promoter live on average about 25% longer, even in weak (m577) and strong (e1370) daf-2 mutant backgrounds, and exhibited decreased pharyngeal pumping and egg-laying. Wild-type SNCA crossed into eat-2(ad1113) does not significantly effect lifespan compared to that of the background strain. Pumping rate in wild-type SCNA and A53T SCNA overexpression mutants were less than control already at day 1 of adulthood. The attenuation of lifespan exptesion by SNCA overexpression by growing on thick bacterial lawns, suggests that DR may explain some fo the effects on lifespan. SCNA overexpression increases average lifespan by 21.3% (wild-type) and 16.3% (A53T) [16782295]. Worm +26 to +34 +19 to +31
    TOR1 Deletion TOR1 deletion extends mean and maximum replicative lifespan by 21 and 25% [16293764] as well as chronological lifespan [21076178]. This lifespan extension is independent of SIR2 and additive with deletion of FOB1 [16293764]. Deletion of TOR1 fails to increase the replicative lifespan of a sir2 mutant [20947565]. Deletion of TOR1 substantially extends chronological lifespan, increasing median survival almost 3-fold (wild-type 4.5 days, tor1 null 12 days), i.e. by 167%. By 21 days in culture, the vast majority of wild-type cells had died (>99.9%), whereas many tor1 null cells remained viable. Deletion of TOR1 also extends the chronological lifespan of the relatively short-lived BY4742 strain, one of the two haploid genetic backgrounds of the widely used Yeast Knockout Collection available from Open Biosystems. Deletion of TOR1 fails to extend chronological lifespan in Petite strains that are unable to respire [17403371]. TOR1 deletion increases replicative lifespan by 30% in the alpha strain and 20% in a strain [19030232]. TOR1 deletion mutant have and increased mean and maximum replicative lifespan by 21% and 6%, respectively [21931558]. Deletion of TOR1 extends replicative lifespan as well as chronological lifespan [21076178] and glucose restriction fails to further extend the long replicative lifespan of tor1Delta [16293764; 16418483; 18225956]. Water starvation (extreme DR) further extends chronological lifespan of tor1 mutants [18225956]. Yeast +21 to +30 +167 +6 to +25
    unc-80 mutation The unc-80(e1069) allele has no significant effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-80 mutant displays irregular movement [4366476] Worm
    unc-79 mutation The unc-79(e1068) allele has no significant effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-78 mutants display irregular movement [4366476]. Worm
    unc-49 mutation The unc-49(e382) allele has no significant effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-49 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476].
    unc-47 mutation The unc-47(e367) allele has no significant effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-47 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. Worm
    sir4-42 mutation The sir4-42 mutation extends lifespan of by more than 30% and is semidominant in Bx1-14c strain which carrys a C-terminal truncation of MPT5/UTH4. sir4-42 extends lifespan by preventing recruitment of the SIR proteins to HM loci and telomeres, thereby increasing their concentration at other chromosomal regions. Expression of only the carboxyl terminus of SIR4 interferes with silencing at HM loci and telomere, which also extends lifespan [7859289]. Both Sir3 and Sir4 relocate to the nucleolus in the sir4-42 mutant background, dependent upon MPT5 and YGL023. sir4-42 has no effect on lifespan in a UTH4 wild-type strain background [9150138]. sir-4-42 results in constitutive localization of SIR3 to the rDNA. Lifespan extension by sir4-42 is likely due to increased dosage of SIR2 at the rDNA [10521401]. Yeast
    SIR3 activating mutation The S755A allele of SIR3 (which prevents phosphorylation of Sir3) results in a 40% increase in mean and maximum lifespan [12640455]. Yeast +40 +40
    ATG18 deletion The replicative lifespan of ATG18 deletion mutant is not shorter than that of wild-type under DR [18690010]. Yeast
    Bub1b mutation The median and maximum lifespan of mice with a nonsense mutation 2211insGTTA in BubR1 is significantly reduced. BubR1(+/GTTA) mice develop several aging-related phenotypes at an accelerated rate, including catarct formation, lordokyphosis, skeletal muscle wasting, impaired exercise ability, and fat loss. Further BubR1(+/GTTA) mice develop mild anaplodies and exhibit enhanced growth of carcinogen-induced tumors [Wijshake et al. 2012]. Mouse

    Activating let-60 mutation The let-60(n1046gf) activating mutation greatly reduces lifespan of wild-type, weakly suppresses constitutive dauer diapause in daf-2 and age-1 mutants and extends lifespan induced by mutation of daf-2 [16164423]. Worm
