    Pcmt overexpression Overexpression of Pcmt extends lifespan by 32-39% at 29 degrees but not at 25 degrees [11742076]. The adult lifespan of animals overexpressing Pcmt is extended [18772467]. Mouse 0 to 39
    daf-3 mutation daf-3(mgDf90) mutation decreases mean lifespan by 0-16% and maximum lifespan by up to 9-21%. daf-3(mgDf90) decreases mean lifespan even by 19% [17900898]. Mutation of daf-3 results in a wild-type lifespan, but greatly extends the lifespan of the long-lived daf-9 mutant [11782415]. daf-3 mutations are dauer defective. Worm 0 to -19 -9 to -21
    spg-7 RNAi Kockdown of spg-7 via RNAi started after the animal reached the late L4 stage has no significant effect on mean lifespan [22103665]. RNA interference of spg-7 in adulthood results in a 23% increase in mean lifespan [17411345]. Worm 0 to +23
    N-acetyl-serotonin administration N-acetyl-serotonin (a melatonin precursor) administrated with drinking water increases anti-oxidant capacity of the brain and prolongs the mean lifespan by 20% of males but not females [11462771]. Mouse 0 to +20
    Melatonin supplementation Melatonin administrated with drinking water increases anti-oxidant capacity of the brain and prolongs the mean lifespan by 20% of males but not females [11462771]. Mouse 0 to +20
    arf-3 RNA RNA interference of arf-3 does not affect lifespan of wild-type but suppresses lifespan extension by isp-1 mutation [22829775]. Worm 0
    SWI4 deletion Deletion of SWI4 shortens replicative lifespan by approximately 90% [11805047]. SSD1-V partially suppresses the short lifespan of a swi4 mutant. Mutation of swi4 results in slow growth and temperature sensitivity, both of which are suppressed by SSD1-V [11805047]. Yeast -90
    alg-1 RNAi Adult-specific knockdown of the C. elegans argonaute-like gene 1 *alg-1* results in shortened lifespan with a reduction in the mean and maximum lifespan by 9 - 16% and 14%, respectively [21810936]. Worm -9.6 to -16.1 -13.7
    CG5389 RNAi RNAi of complex V subunit CG5389 results in increased mean longevity under standard laboratory food conditions (3% yeast) in males. RNAi started from the development results in a mild lifespan increase in both sexes (3-11% in females and 3-8% in males). Post-developmental RNAi and silencing limited to neurons has variable effects with reduction in lifespan of up to 9% [19747824]. Under rich media conditions CG5389 knockdown throughout development and adulthood increases mean lifespan by 26% and abolished the lifespan extension by DR (started in the adulthood) in males. Suppression of CG5389 only during the adulthood either via RNAi by tub-GS or via oligomycin (a specific inhibitor of complex V) feeding prevents an increase in longevity under DR (started in the adulthood) in males [19968629]. Fly -9 to +26
    NNT1 deletion Deletion of NNT1 decreases mean and maximum lifespan by 9 and 19%. 0.5% glucose DR extends the mean and maximum lifespan of NNT1 deletion mutants by 35 and 40%. NNT1 deletion decreases rDNA silencing [12736687]. Yeast -9 -19
    wnk-1 RNAi RNA interference of wnk-1 decreases lifespan by 9% and suppresses lifespan extension by eat-2 mutation [22829775]. Worm -9
    NCA3 deletion Disruption in NCA3 shortens mean (87% of normal), nut not maximum replicative lifespan without causing any other gross changes in cell cycle parameters of growth characteristics [8810036]. In combination with an NCA2 disruption, NCA3 disruption causes a cryosensitive phenotype on non-fermentable carbon sources due to a defect in the F1-F0 ATP synthetase due to misbalancing of alternate spliceforms of mitochondrial mRNA encoding subunits 6 and 8 of the synthase [7586026]. Yeast -87
    gsa-1 RNAi RNAi against gsa-1 decreases mean and maximum lifespan by 83-85% and 48%, respectively [18059442]. Worm -83-85 -48
    VMA2 deletion VMA2 deletion mutants have a reduced ΔΨ and mitochondrial morphology similar to aged cells. The restoration of the vacuolar acidity in daughter cells requires V-ATPase activity as it is eliminated in VMA2 deletion mutant cells [23172144]. VMA2 deletion mutation decreases the mean replicative lifespan by 80% in the alpha strain [18340043]. Deletion of VMA2 decreases mean, median and maximum replicative lifespan by 84%, 84% and 70%, respectively. DR (0.5% glucose restriction) does not extend the replicative lifespan of VMA2 and shortens it even more [23172144]. Yeast -80 to -83.9 -84.1 -70.0
    CCR4 deletion 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]. Yeast -80 to +20
    SIP1 deletion Deletion of SIP1 decreases replicative lifespan by 80%, without accompying aging biomarkers in S288C strain [10921902]. Yeast -80
    mpk-1 RNAi RNAi against F43C1.2B (encoding mpk-1) decreases mean and maximum lifespan by 8-14% and 14%, respectively [18059442]. Worm -8-14 -8
    RAD52 deletion 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 pasuing nor DNA breakage with the rDNA [10693764]. Yeast -75
    TPS1 deletion Deletion of TPS1 decreases intracellular trehalose concentration and shortens the mean chronological lifespan by 74% (at 30 degree Celsus in BY4742) [22783207]. Yeast -74
    SOD2 deletion SOD2 deletion decreases replicative lifespan by 72% [17460215]. SOD2 deletion decreases chronological lifespan [21076178]. Deletion of SOD2 decreases chronological lifespan in wild-type and abolishes chronological lifespan extension in sch9Delta mutants as well as decreases chronological lifespan in cyr1:mTn mutants [12586694]. SOD2 deletion mutants are hypersensitive to oxygen and grow poorly in ethanol [10222047]. Yeast -72
    Ercc2 mutation Mutations in Ercc2 increases cancer incidence and appear to accelerate ageing. Homozyogus mutation of Ercc2 results in an extreme shortening (71%) of lifespan (mean lifespan = 7 months) relative to wild-type (mean lifespan = 24 months) [de Boer et al. 2002]. The shortened lifespan of the mutant mouse is accompanied by symptoms of premature aging including osteoporosis, early greying, cahexia, and infertility. It provides a mouse model for the britte hair disorder trichothiodystrophy (TTD) as it phenotypes include britte hair, UV sensitivity, and developmental defects [9651581]. Mouse -71
    dor mutation Loss-of-function mutation in dor reduces mean lifespan by 70 - 81% and maximum lifespan by 71 - 78% [17435236]. Fly -70 to -81 -71 to -78
    ATP1 deletion Deletion of ATP1 increases chronological lifespan by up to 50% [17492370], but decreases replicative lifespan by 70% in the alpha strain [18340043]. Yeast -70 to +50
    Top3b knockout Homozygous disruption of Top3b results in a normal development but a shorter lifespan (by approximately 70%) accompanied by lesions in multiple organs in C57BL/6 [11331780]. Mouse -70
    RAD50 deletion RAD50 mutations result in a 70% reduced replicative lifespan [10207108]. Yeast -70
