Symbol: rps-15 Name: Ribosomal Protein, Small subunit Entrez gene ID: 172693 Ensembl gene ID: F36A2.6 Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239) Functional description: Protein RPS-15; 40S ribosomal protein S15 [Source:UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot;Acc:Q9XVP0] [Ensembl] Observation: RNA interference in young adults reducing mRNA levels approximately two- to fivefold increased median lifespan 10-50% and maximum lifespan by about 40%. A life-extending effect was also observed in daf-16 mutants and sir-2.1 mutants but not in daf-2 mutants. TOR RNA interference further extended lifespan.
