COX5 deletion

Species: Podospora anserine (Taxid: 5145)
Factor: COX5
Manipulation: Loss-of-Function, Mutation, Deletion
Effect:

Disruption of the nuclear COX5 gene delays senescence, increase longevity between 7- and 15-fold (in 30 tested isolates) and the onset of senescence is not associated by accumulation of senescence-specific mtDNA molecules. COX5 deletion results in exclusive use of the alternative respiratory pathway and a decrease in production of reactive oxygen species and the prevention of the accumulation of several senescence-specific mitochondrial DNA molecules [10759557].
