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

    SWH1 SWH1 (alias OSH1) deletion mutants have an extended replicative lifespan (p=0.02) and DR does not increase the long lifespan of SWH1 deletion mutants [Xia et al. unpublished]. Budding yeast
    TCO89 Tor Complex One TCO89 deletion increases chronological lifespan, increases mitochondrial oxygen consumption, but decreases mitochondrial and cellular ROS in early stationary phase [21641548]. Deletion of TCO89 cancels out replicative lifespan extension by moderate DR [18690010]. Budding yeast
    CDC25 Cell Division Cycle 25 The CDC25-10 allele extends mean and maximum replicative lifespan by 34% and 18%, respectively, at 30 degree Celsius. cdc25-10 mutants have an extended replicative lifespan under AL. Growth on 0.5% glucose restriction does not further extend replicative lifespan of cdc25-10 mutants. CDC25 null mutant is not viable. CDC25 appears to act in the same genetic pathway as SIR2 and NPT1 and is suggested to be genetic model of DR [11000115]. Budding yeast
    CYR1 CYclic AMP Requirement 1 The CDC35-1 allele of the adenylate cyclase CYR1 confers a 75% extension of replicative lifespan at 25 degree Celsius [11000115]. Transposon-mutagenized CYR1 increases resistance to oxidants and extends chronological lifespan by up to 90%. Stress-resistance transcription factors Msn2/Msn4 and protein kinase Rim15 are required for this lifespan extension [11292860]. CYR1 mutation is assumed to act as genetic DR mimetic [11000115]. The CDC35-1 allele of the adenylate cyclase CYR1 confers a 75% extension of replicative lifespan at 25 degree Celsius [11000115]. cyr1-1 mutation extends median chronological lifespan by 28-47% and is non-addative with lifespan extension conferred by overxpression of human MAPK1 [17662940]. Budding yeast
    TOR1 Target Of Rapamycin 1 TOR1 deletion extends mean and maximum replicative lifespan by 21 and 25% [16293764] as well as chronological lifespan [21076178]. This lifespan extension is independent of SIR2 and additive with deletion of FOB1 [16293764]. Deletion of TOR1 fails to increase the replicative lifespan of a sir2 mutant [20947565]. Deletion of TOR1 substantially extends chronological lifespan, increasing median survival almost 3-fold (wild-type 4.5 days, tor1 null 12 days), i.e. by 167%. By 21 days in culture, the vast majority of wild-type cells had died (>99.9%), whereas many tor1 null cells remained viable. Deletion of TOR1 also extends the chronological lifespan of the relatively short-lived BY4742 strain, one of the two haploid genetic backgrounds of the widely used Yeast Knockout Collection available from Open Biosystems. Deletion of TOR1 fails to extend chronological lifespan in Petite strains that are unable to respire [17403371]. TOR1 deletion increases replicative lifespan by 30% in the alpha strain and 20% in a strain [19030232]. TOR1 deletion mutant have and increased mean and maximum replicative lifespan by 21% and 6%, respectively [21931558]. Deletion of TOR1 extends replicative lifespan as well as chronological lifespan [21076178] and glucose restriction fails to further extend the long replicative lifespan of tor1Delta [16293764; 16418483; 18225956]. Water starvation (extreme DR) further extends chronological lifespan of tor1 mutants [18225956]. Budding yeast
    SCH9 Transposon-mediated mutagenesis of SCH9, which encodes for a serine threonine kinase homologous to Akt/PKB, increases resistance to oxidants and thermal stress as well as extends chronological lifespan by 30%. SCH9 deletion increases chronological lifespan by up to threefold. Stress-resistance transcription factors Msn2/Msn4 and protein kinase Rim15 are required for this life-extension. Deletion of the mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase gene SOD2 prevents the increased chronological lifespan caused by SCH9 deletion [11292860]. Mutations that decrease the activity of the Ras/Cyr1/PKA pathway also extend longevity and increase stress resistance by activating transcription factors Msn2/Msn4 and Sod2 [12855292]. SCH9 deletion mutants exhibit more than 3-fold extension of chronological lifespan. By day 9 of medium depletion all the wild-type cells were dead while 50% sch9 mutants survived [17710147]. Deletion of SCH9 also increases resistance to heat shock and oxidative stress [11292860], and increases replicative lifespan by 18% (in DBY746) [12586694]. SCH9 deletion increases the replicative lifespan by 40% in the alpha strain [18340043] and increases mean chronological lifespan by 97 - 246% (97, 133, 154, 226, 246) in diploid cells [21447998]. Mutation or deletion of SCH9 increases resistance to oxidants and extends chronological lifespan [11292860; 16286010]. The extended lifespan of SCH9 deletion mutants is not further extended by low glucose DR and is independent of Sir2 [16293764]. Deletion of RIM15 or GIS1 reverses chronological lifespan extension associated with sch9Delta. Water restriction further increases chronological lifespan of sch9Delta [18225956]. Deletion of SCH9 results in a longer chronological lifespan [21076178]. Budding yeast
    Factors are an extension of GenAge and GenDR.
