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

    TSA1 Thiol-Specific Antioxidant 1 A gain-of-function allele of peroxiredoxin (thioredoxin peroxidase, Tsa1) causes a dominant oxidative stress-resistance and robust premature aging phenotype with reduced mean lifespan. These effect is not provoked by altered Tsa1 levels, nor can it be stimulated by deletion, haploinssufficiency or overexpression of wild-type allele [20729566]. Disruption of TSA1 shortens chronological lifespan [15129730]. Replicative lifespan extension by DR in sir2;fob1 double mutant is reduced by TSA1 deletion mutant. Wild-type cells require TSA1 to fully extend lifespan. Mutation in CDC35 (adenylate cyclase), a genetic mimetic of DR, is dependent on TSA1 to extend lifespan [21884982]. Budding yeast
    ATP2 ATP synthase F1 subunit gamma A temperature sensitive allele of ATP2 causes a clonal senescence phenotype resulting from the disruption of the age asymmetry between mother and daughter cells in that that daughter cells are born as old as they mother cells at 36 degree Celsius. This mutation of valine to isoleucine at amino acid 90 does not affect growth on non-fermentable carbon source. This allele is associated with loss of mitochondrial membrane potential as well as failure to segregate functional mitochondria to daughter cells [12242224]. Budding yeast
    ACH1 Acetyl CoA Hydrolase 1 ACH1 deletion cells accumulate a high amount of extracellular acetic acid and display a reduced mean and maximum chronological lifespan. Maximum lifespan is reduced by 32%. Lifespan shortening is completely abrogated by alleviating the acid stress either by a DR regimen that prevents acetic acid production or by transferring chronologically aging mutant cells to water. Deletion of ACH1 is accompanied by reactive oxygen species accumulation, severe mitochondrial damage, and an early insurgence of apoptosis [22754872]. Budding yeast
    ATG1 AuTophaGy related 11 ATG1 deletion reduces chronological lifespan by 70% [19302372]. Deletion of ATG1 reduces replicative lifespan by 20% in the alpha strain [18340043]. Budding yeast
    ATG17 AuTophaGy related 17 ATG17 deletion decreases replicative lifespan under AL and blocks DR-lifespan extension. ATG17 mutant's replicative lifespan decreases by 70% on DR [18690010]. Budding yeast
    ATG7 Autophagy-related protein and dual specificity member of the E1 family of ubiquitin-activating enzymes; mediates the conjugation of Atg12p with Atg5p and Atg8p with phosphatidylethanolamine, required steps in autophagosome formation ATG7 deletion reduces chronological lifespan by 70% [19302372]. Budding yeast
    PNC1 Pyrazinamidase/NiCotinamidase 1 Cells with 5 copies of PNC1 have a 70% longer replicative lifespan which is cancelled out by SIR2 deletion. PNC1 is upregulated under glucose DR [12736687]. Pnc1 reduces cellular nicotinamide levels, a product and noncompetitive inhibitor of Sir2 deacetylation reaction. Overexpression of PNC1 suppresses the effect of exogenously added nicotinamide on Sir2-dependent silencing at HM loci, telomeres and rDNA loci [12736687; 14729974]. Pnc1 catalyses the breakdown of nicotinamide to nicotinate and ammonia [12736687]. Deletion of PNC1 shortens replicative lifespan approximately by 10% [12736687] and largely prevents replicative lifespan extension of 0.5% glucose restriction. 0.5% glucose restriction slightly extends median replicative lifespan (by 10 - 15%) but not maximum replicative lifespan in pnc1Delta [14724176]. PNC1 overexpression suppresses the inhibitory effect of exogenously added NAM on silencing, lifespan, and Hst1-mediated transcriptional repression [14729974]. Increased expression of PNC1 is both necessary and sufficient for replicative lifespan extension by DR and low-intensity stress. Under non-stressing conditions (2% glucose, 30 degree Celsius), a strain with additional copies of PNC1 (5XPNC1) has 70% longer replicative lifespan than the wild-type and some cells live for more than 70 divisions. Neither DR nor heat stress further increase the lifespan of the 5XPNC1 strain [12736687]. PNC1 deletion decreases chronological lifespan [17110466]. Budding yeast
    CHL1 CHromosome Loss 1 CHL1 deletion mutant exhibits a shortened mean and maximum lifespan by 36 and 29%, respectively, as well as hypersensitivity to heat stress. CHL1 may modulate transcriptional silencing in the presence of Sir proteins [16182251]. Budding yeast
    DAP2 Dipeptidyl AminoPeptidase 2 DAP2 deletion decreases mean and maximum replicative lifespan under AL by 19 and 36%, respectively, and cancels out the lifespan extending effect of moderate DR [22912585]. Budding yeast
    YKU70 Subunit of the telomeric Ku complex (Yku70p-Yku80p) Deletion fo YKU70 shortens lifespan, but does not accelerate the normal aging process [10521401]. YKU70 null mutants are defective for non-homologous end-joining [8754818] and for telomeric silencing [9635192]. Budding yeast
    RAD52 RAD51 homolog (RecA homolog, E. coli) (S. cerevisiae) Deletion in RAD52 causes a 75% reduction in mean replicative lifespan in PSY316 strain [10207108]. Similiar reduction of lifespan occurs in strains W3031-A and W303R [M. Baeberlein, M. McVey, and L. Guarente, unpublished]. RAD51 is required for formation of extrachromosomal rDNA circles [10207108], but not for replication fork pausing nor DNA breakage with the rDNA [10693764]. Budding yeast
    ACO1 ACOnitase 1 Deletion of ACO1 decreases mean chronological lifespan by 42 - 56% in diploid cells [21447998]. Budding yeast
    AKR1 AnKyrin Repeat-containing protein 1 Deletion of AKR1 decreases replicative lifespan by 40% in the alpha strain [18340043]. Replicative lifespan decreased by 50% in the alpha strain [19030232]. Budding yeast

    ATP1 ATP synthase 1 Deletion of ATP1 increases chronological lifespan by up to 50% [17492370], but decreases replicative lifespan by 70% in the alpha strain [18340043]. Budding yeast
    CAT5 CATabolite repression 5 Deletion of CAT5 decreases chronological lifespan by up to 50% [17492370] and also decreases replicative lifespan by 30% in the alpha strain [18340043]. Budding yeast
    CCR4 Carbon Catabolite Repression 4 Deletion of CCR4 increases mean chronological lifespan by 20 - 41% (20, 33, 41) in diploid cells [21447998]. In W303R CCR4 deletion shortens replicative lifespan by approximately 80% and results in temperature sensitivity that is suppressed by SSD1-V. SSD1-V partially suppresses the short-lifespan of ccr4 mutant. CCR4 mutation is synthetically lethal in combination with deletion of MPT5 in the absence of SSD1-V [11805047]. Budding yeast

    ERG5 ERGosterol biosynthesis 5 Deletion of ERG5 decreases replicative lifespan by 35% in the a strain [18340043], but increases mean chronological lifespan by 26 - 116% (26, 40, 43, 62, 116) in diploid cells [21447998]. Deletion of ERG5 cancels out the replicative lifespan extension of 0.5% glucose restriction [18690010]. Budding yeast
