frh-1 RNAi

Species: Nematode (Taxid: 6239)
Factor: frh-1
Manipulation: Loss-of-Function, Knockdown, RNA Interference
Effect:

Complete absence of frataxin is lethal, while its partial deficiency extends animal lifespan in a p53 dependent manner. Frataxin knockdown via RNAi extends mean and maximum lifespan by 19 and 37%, respectively [23247094].

Substantial reduction of frataxin protein expression is required to extend lifespan, affect sensory neurons functionality, remodel lipid metabolism and trigger autophagy. Beclin and p53 genes are required to induce autophagy and concurrently reduce lipid storages and extend animal lifespan in response to frataxin suppression [23247094].

Mean: +18.75
Maximum: +37.037037037
