Symbol: PNC1 Name: Pyrazinamidase/NiCotinamidase 1 Entrez gene ID: 852846 Ensembl gene ID: YGL037C Species: Yeast (Taxid: 4932) Functional description: Pnc1p; Nicotinamidase that converts nicotinamide to nicotinic acid as part of the NAD(+) salvage pathway, required for life span extension by calorie restriction; PNC1 expression responds to all known stimuli that extend replicative life span [Source:SGD;Acc:S000003005] [Ensembl] Observation: Cells with 5 copies of PNC1 have a 70% longer replicative lifespan which is cancelled out by SIR2 deletion. PNC1 is upregulated under glucose DR [12736687]. Pnc1 reduces cellular nicotinamide levels, a product and noncompetitive inhibitor of Sir2 deacetylation reaction. Overexpression of PNC1 suppresses the effect of exogenously added nicotinamide on Sir2-dependent silencing at HM loci, telomeres and rDNA loci [12736687; 14729974]. Pnc1 catalyses the breakdown of nicotinamide to nicotinate and ammonia [12736687]. Deletion of PNC1 shortens replicative lifespan approximately by 10% [12736687] and largely prevents replicative lifespan extension of 0.5% glucose restriction. 0.5% glucose restriction slightly extends median replicative lifespan (by 10 - 15%) but not maximum replicative lifespan in pnc1Delta [14724176]. PNC1 overexpression suppresses the inhibitory effect of exogenously added NAM on silencing, lifespan, and Hst1-mediated transcriptional repression [14729974]. Increased expression of PNC1 is both necessary and sufficient for replicative lifespan extension by DR and low-intensity stress. Under non-stressing conditions (2% glucose, 30 degree Celsius), a strain with additional copies of PNC1 (5XPNC1) has 70% longer replicative lifespan than the wild-type and some cells live for more than 70 divisions. Neither DR nor heat stress further increase the lifespan of the 5XPNC1 strain [12736687]. PNC1 deletion decreases chronological lifespan [17110466]. Interventions: Assays: Replicative Lifespan Chronological Lifespan Classification: Aging Relevance Analysis/Source: Homologs Orthologs Note: Reduce redundancy in the individual statements. Aging Interaction DB says 80% longer lifespan for Anderson 2003. Also it says: Overexpression of PNC1 decreases rDNA silencing. Which does not make sense. Edit \ Update (Admin) | Delete |
