Symbol: rheb-1 Name: RHEB (Ras Homolog Enriched in Brain) hom Entrez gene ID: 176327 Ensembl gene ID: F54C8.5 Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239) Functional description: binds GTP and exhibits intrinsic GTPase activity (By similarity). [UniProt] Observation: rheb-1 RNAi extends lifespan by mimicking the DR effect. Under AL condition, rheb-1 RNAi extends lifespan by 19.1% and the longevity-promoting effects of two DR regimens sDR and intermittent fasting are abolished [19079239]. Knockdown of rheb-1 by RNAi only during the adulthood increases mean, median and 75th %ile lifespan by 18-25, 25 and 23-24%, respectively, but failed so in skn-1 or daf-16 mutant (with and without FUdR). Knockdown of rheb-1 dramatically enhances stress tolerance in an skn-1, but not daf-16-dependent manner [22560223].
