Symbol: asg-2 Name: ATP synthase subunit 2 Entrez gene ID: 180956 Ensembl gene ID: C53B7.4 Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239) Functional description: Mitochondrial membrane ATP synthase (F(1)F(0) ATP synthase or Complex V) produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane which is generated by electron transport complexes of the respiratory chain. F-type ATPases consist of two structural domains, F(1) - containing the extramembraneous catalytic core, and F(0) - containing the membrane proton channel, linked together by a central stalk and a peripheral stalk. During catalysis, ATP synthesis in the catalytic domain of F(1) is coupled via a rotary mechanism of the central stalk subunits to proton translocation. Part of the complex F(0) domain. Minor subunit located with subunit a in the membrane. [UniProt] Observation: Knockout mutations in asg-2 result in developmental arrest and increased lifespan [11410594]. Interventions: Assays: Organismal Lifespan Classification: Aging Relevance Analysis/Source: Homologs Note: Is the reference for the lifspan effect of asg-2 correct? It seems that its that it is not mentioned there at all. Edit \ Update (Admin) | Delete |
