symbol | name | observation | species | hsp-16.48 | Heat Shock Protein | Overexpression of the hsp-16 loci enhances stress resistance and extends mean lifespan by 11% at 20 degree Celsius. Lifespan extension by hsp-16 overexpression requires daf-16 [12882326]. RNAi of hsp-16.48 has no effect on adult wild-type lifespan but slightly shortens the long lifespan of age-1(hx546) mutants [14668486]. | Nematode | hsp-16.1 | Heat Shock Protein | Overexpression of the hsp-16 loci enhances stress resistance and extends mean lifespan by 11% at 20 degree Celsius. Lifespan extension by hsp-16 overexpression requires daf-16 [12882326]. | Nematode | hsf-1 | Heat Shock Factor 1 | RNA interference of hsf-1 suppresses normal dauer formation and life-extension due to insulin-like signaling [14668486]. hsf-1 overexpression extends mean, median, and maximum lifespan by 37, 35, and 29%[22737090]. hsf-1 RNAi abrogates lifespan extension by daf-2(e1370) mutation, but not eat-2(ad1116) or isp-1(qm150). HSF-1, like DAF-16, is required for daf-2 mutations to extend lifespan [12750521]. A mutant allele of hsf-1 slightly decreases lifespan under AL, but cancels out the lifespan extension effect of bDR. hsf-1 RNAi also prevents lifespan extension by bDR. bDR significantly reduces paralysis of Q35YFP or ABeta42 transgenic animals and hsf-1 RNAi totally cancels this effect. DR confers a general protective effect against proteotoxicity and promotes longevity by a mechanism involving hsf-1 [18331616]. Glucose or glycerol does not shorten the lifespan of hsf-1 mutants. Glucose treatment completely suppresses the long lifespan caused by hsf-1 overexpression [19883616]. sDR extends the lifespan of hsf-1 mutant with a premature stop codon, that eliminates activation domain, and that of wild-type to a similar extent [19239417]. hsf-1 RNAi attenuates lifespan extension by bDR, but only partially that of daf-2 mutation. hsf-1 RNAi attenuates protection against oxidative stress by bDR. hsf-1 expression is induced by bDR [19924292]. RNAi of hsf-1 shortens median and maximum lifespan by approximately 35%. hsf-1 RNAi animals exhibit phenotypes associated with accelerated aging (as assyed by Nomarsky microscopy) [12136014]. | Nematode | daf-18 | Abnormal DAuer Formation | daf-18 is required for complete dauer formation. Overexpression increases adult lifespan in individual tissues [16153634]. daf-18 mutation partially suppresses the lifespan extension of age-1 and daf-2 mutants. daf-18 mutants are defective for dauer formation and form some dauer-like larvae when starved [7789761; 8601482]. | Nematode | daf-16 | Abnormal DAuer Formation DAF-16, fork head-related transcription factor (daf-16) | Mutations in daf-16 suppresses life-extension caused by mutations in daf-2 [8247153]. daf-16 is required for lifespan extension by mutation of daf-2 or age-1 [8247153]. RNAi against daf-16 decreases lifespan of wild-type, daf-2 or glp-1 mutants [22509016; 16530050]. Loss of function alleles of daf-16 shorten lifespan, but some alleles have lifespan equal to wild-type [8247153]. daf-16 mutation significantly reduces lifespan under AL (-20%), but does not prevent lifespan extension by sDR. In another experiment daf-16 mutation totally suppresses lifespan extension by sDR [16720740]. sDR does not stimulate DAF-16 translocation to the nucleus, but daf-16 mutation cancels out the ability of sDR to extend lifespan and to delay the decline in locomotor activity [17900900]. DR by bacterial dilution extends lifespan of daf-16 mutants [17538612]. daf-16 mutation decreases lifespan under AL, but fails to prevent bDR to further extend lifespan [18331616]. IF-induced lifespan-extension by either 24h/48h/72h per 4 days is significantly diminished in null mutants of daf-16. All these regimens extend lifespan of daf-16 to a lesser extent than that of wild-type. daf-16 partially mediates IF-induced longevity [19079239]. Glucose or glycerol does not shorten lifespan of daf-16 mutants [19883616]. daf-16 mutation cancels out the lifespan extension effect of sDR and PD, regardless of the concentration of bacteria or peptones. bDR significantly extends lifespan of daf-16 mutants, but to a lesser extent than that of wild-type. eat-2 mutation extends the lifespan of daf-16 mutants to the same extent than that of wild-type. Resveratrol extends lifespan of daf-16 mutants [19239417]. daf-16 RNAi completely blocks the lifespan extension by daf-2 mutation, but only partially by bDR. daf-16 RNAi attenuates protection against oxidative stress by bDR. daf-16 expression is induced by bDR [19924292]. Knockdown of daf-16 decreases mean and maximum lifespan by 50% and 54%, respectively [22509016]. DAF-16 reduces expression of rsks-1 and daf-15 [15253933; 22560223]. daf-16(mgDf47) decreases mean (18-37%) and maximum (29%) lifespan [18828672]. Overexpression of wild-type DAF-16 modestly increases lifespan by 20% [11747825], while overexpression of constitutive nuclear forms of DAF-16 increases lifespan only slightly [11381260]. daf-16(mu86) mutation decreases mean (44%) and maximum (18%) lifespan [15905404]. daf-16(mgDf47) decreases mean (18-37%) and maximum (29%) lifespan [18828672]. daf-16 mutants are dauer defective [7219552] and completely suppress all the phenotypes of daf-2 and age-1 mutations, including lifespan extension, dauer arrest, reduced fertility, and viability defects [8247153; 7789761; 9504918; 7789761]. Mutations in daf-16 also suppress lifespan extension of animals that have a germ line ablation [10360574]. Sex-specific lifespan potential requires daf-16 [10747056].
daf-16 mutation suppresses enhanced UV resistance as well as increase longevity of daf-2, daf-23, spe-26, and clk-1 mutants. Mutation in daf-16 does not alter the reduced fertility in spe-26. daf-16 mutants are more fertile than wild-type [8807294]. | Nematode | cst-1 | Caenorhabditis STE20-like kinase 1 | Knockdown of cst-1 shortens lifespan and accelerates tissue aging while its overexpression extends lifespan and delays aging in a daf-16-dependent manner [16751106]. | Nematode | abu-11 | Activated in Blocked Unfolded protein response 11 | Overexpression of abu-11 extends mean lifespan by 9% to 28% [16256736]. | Nematode | aak-2 | AMP-Activated Kinase 2 | AAK-2 could be a sensor that couples energy levels and insulin-like signals to lifespan. aak-2(ok524) knockout mutants have a 12% and 18% shorter mean and maximum lifespan, respectively as well as faster age-dependent accumulation of a lipofuscin-like fluorescent pigment in the intestine [15574588]. sDR increases AMP:ATP ratio. aak-2 mutation suppresses lifespan extension and delay of the decline in locomotor activity resulting from sDR. A constitutive active mutation of aak-2 is sufficient to cause increase stress resistance as well as to significantly extend lifespan. Both increased stress resistance and extended lifespan is reverted in daf-16 knockdown by RNAi. sod-3 mRNA is increased by constitutive active form of aak-2 and decreased by aak-2 mutation. The increase in sod-3 mRNA is dependent on expression of DAF-16. Worm and human AMPK phosphorylate DAF-16 (greatly enhanced by presence of AMP) at least in six residues (T166, S202, S314, S321, T463 and S466) [17900900]. aak-2 mutation cancels out the lifespan extension effect of sDR and PD, regardless of the concentration of bacteria or peptones. bDR significantly extends lifespan of aak-2 mutants, but to lesser extent than that of wild-type. eat-2 mutation extends the lifespan of aak-2 mutants to the same extent than that of wild-type. Resveratrol does not increase lifespan of aak-2 mutants [19239417]. daf-2(m577);aak-2(ok524) double mutant has a lifespan that is indistinguishable from those of aak-2(ok524) single mutant. Transgenic animals with a higher aak-2 gene dose live on average 13% longer with a maximum lifespan extension on up to 25% [15574588]. | Nematode |
