Factors

We need to know every factor which determines lifespan.

Lifespan factors often but not always originate from defined genetic elements. They are not just genes, by definition they can be anything for which a Classifications schema can be build for that is related to the regulation of lifespan, such entities may include Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism, transcript variants, proteins and their complexes, compounds (i.e. small molecules like metabolites and drugs), etc. A factor should be based on a defined molecular entity or genomic position and been classified. It shall be highly flexible and scalable Concept.

While individual lifespan factors within each species or precise defined molecular entities will be captured within the Lifespan App, Data Entries of the Data App may summarize for instance the relevance of each factor class (e.g. homologous group; chemical derivate of related structure and properties, etc.) as well as draw overall conclusions. o

    bub-3 yeast BUB homolog RNAi against bub-3 increases mean and maximum lifespan by 6-7% and 7%, respectively [18059442]. Nematode
    wah-1 Worm AIF (apoptosis inducing factor) Homolog wah-1 RNAi in the adulthood extends the lifespan [New longevity regulators]. RNAi against wah-1 started after the animal reaches the late L4 stage extends mean lifespan by 7-8% [22103665]. Nematode
    wdr-23 WD Repeat protein 23 RNA interference of wdr-23 in adulthood extends mean lifespan by 24% [17411345]. Nematode
    wts-1 WarTS (Drosophila) protein kinase homolog 1 RNA interference of wts-1 in adulthood extends mean lifespan by 21% [17411345]. Nematode
    vit-5 VITellogenin structural genes (yolk protein genes) 5 RNA interference against vit-5 extends mean lifespan by 10-22%. vit-5 is differentially transcribed in daf-16 and daf-2 RNAi animals [12845331]. RNAi knockdown of vit-5 starting at hatching or only during the adulthood significantly extends lifespan of wild-type, but does not alter, or even shortens the lifespan of eat-2 mutants [22810224]. Nematode
    vit-2 VITellogenin structural genes (yolk protein genes) vit-2 RNA interference extends mean lifespan by 21-24%. vit-2 is differentially transcribed in daf-16 and daf-2 RNAi animals [12845331]. vit-2 functions in germ-line development by regulating the abundance of native versus oxidized LDL-like lipoproteins [11408580]. Nematode
    unc-52 UNCoordinated 52 RNA interference of unc-52 in adulthood extends mean lifespan by 11% [17411345]. RNAi knockdown of unc-52 starting at hatching or only during the adulthood significantly decreases lifespan of eat-2 without affecting wild-type lifespan. UNC-52 levels are elevated in eat-2 mutants. Increased content of UNC-52 is, at least partially, required for lifespan-extension by DR [22810224]. Nematode
    unc-17 UNCoordinated 17 unc-17 encodes acteylcholine transporter which is expressed in motor [18041778] and inter-neurons and is downregulated in space. Mutation of unc-17 extends lifespan on NGM agar covered with killed or live bacteria. nc-17(CB933) extends mean, 75%ile, and maximum lifespan by 31-79%, 68-89%, and 68-79%. Lifespan extension by unc-17 mutation is totally abolished by RNAi inactivation of daf-16, but not skn-1. eat-2 RNAi further enhances the extension of lifespan by mutations of unc-17 [22768380]. Mutation and RNAi of unc-17 suppresses pheromone-induced dauer formation [22768380]. Nematode
    unc-26 UNCoordinated Mutations in unc-26 extend lifespan by 30-50%. Lifespan extension is proposed to be similar to DR [9789046]. unc-26 mutants are uncoordinated, slow and have defects in pharyngeal pumping [4366476; 8462849]. Nematode
    unc-32 UNCoordinated unc-32 mutation extends male lifespan by about 170%, but has no effect on hermaphrodite lifespan [10747056]. unc-31 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. Nematode
    unc-4 UNCoordinated Lifespan of unc-4(e120) males is extended relative to hermaphrodites approximately 2-fold [10747056]. Mutation in unc-4 has no significant effect on hermaphrodite lifespan [9789046]. unc-4 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. Nematode
    unc-13 UNCoordinated Mutation in unc-13 results in a 150% life-extension in males, but has no effect on hermaphrodite lifespan [10747056]. Nematode
    unc-64 UNCoordinated Mutations in unc-64 result in constitutive dauer formation and increase lifespan, which is suppressed by mutations in daf-16 [10377425]. unc-64 mutation increases mean and maximum lifespan [16280150]. unc-64 mutation increased lifespan of hermaphrodites by approximately 70% and those of males by 150% [10377425; 4366476; 10747056]. unc-64 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. Nematode
    unc-76 UNCoordinated unc-76(e911) allele extends male lifespan by about 50%, but has no effect on hermaphrodite lifespan [10747056]. unc-76 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. Nematode
    ubh-4 UBiquitin C-terminal Hydrolase (family 1) RNAi of ubh-4 starting at L1 extends mean, 25%ile and median lifespan by 3, 8 and 8% [15998808]. Nematode
    ucr-1 Ubiquinol-Cytochrome c oxidoReductase complex RNAi against ucr-1 increases mean lifespan by 20% [17608836]. ucr-1 RNAi started after the animal reached the late L4 stage increase mean lifespan by 8-14% [22103665]. Nematode
    tub-1 TUBby-related Mutation of tub-1 (alleles nr2004 and nr2044) leads to 20-25% life-extension dependent on daf-16 [16054097]. tub-1 mutation promotes increased fat accumulation [16054097]. Nematode
    C47D12.2 TRRAP-like (transcription/transformation domain-associated protein) C47D12.2 RNAi in the adulthood extends mean and maximum lifespan by 6 and 9% [23144747]. Nematode

    tdp-1 TAR DNA-binding Protein homolog 1 tdp-1(ok803) mutation increases mean and maximum lifespan at 20 degree Celsius but not at 25 degree Celsius. tdp-1(ok803) reduce the lifespan of daf-2(e1370) mutants, but does not does not reduces the lifespan of daf-16(mu86) mutants. RNAi against tdp-1 reduces lifepsna of daf-2(e1370) mutants. tdp-1 overexpression strains have a reduced lifespan at 20 and 25 degree Celsius [Vaccaro et al. 2012]. Nematode
