| Dominant-negative S6k | Ubiquitous overexpression of a dominant-negative form of S6k (alias dS6K) increases mean lifespan by 22%. Overexpression of a dominant-negative form of S6k protects mutants from deleterious effects of rich food, as if mimicking the effect of DR [15186745]. | Fly | +22 | — | — |
| Eip71CD overexpression | Overexpression of Eip71CD (alias MsrA) in nervous system extends the lifespan by up to 70%, increases resistance to oxidative stress, and delays the onset of senescence-induced decline in activity levels and reproductive capacity. Eip71CD is a downstream effector of foxo [22310715].
Mean and maximum lifespan is increased by up to 2-% in animals that overexpress Eip71CD [20655917]. | Fly | +20 to 70 | — | +20 |
| Sod2 overexpression | Overexpression of Sod2 by 5-115% decreases lifespan by 4-5% without any compensatory changes in metablic rate, level of physical activity, or the levels of other antioxidants (Sod, Cat, and glutathione) [10545213]. Targeted overexpression of Sod2 in motor neurons alone extends lifespan by 30% [11113599]. Induced overexpression of Sod2 in adult animals extends lifespan up to 37% [12072463]. Overexpression of catalase in combination with SOD2 has no added benefit for lifespan [12072463]. Animals overexpressing SOD2 or catalase do not exhibit a decrease in metabolism as measured by oxgen consumption [12072463].
Sod2 overexpression results in a 20% increase in mean and maximum lifespan [18067683]. | Fly | +20 to +37 | — | +20 |
| gig overexpression | Overexpression of gig, also known as dTsc2, results in lifespan extension. Overexpression of dTsc2 increases mean lifespan by 20% and 12%, at 25°C and 29°C, respectively, and protects from deleterious effects of rich food, as if mimicking the effect of DR [15186745].
Overexpression of dTsc2 via a UAS promoter in the eye using the driver gmr-GAL4 or in the nervous system by using appI-GAL4 does not extend the lifespan. Using the drivers 24BGAL4 and PO188-GAL4, enhancer traps that are predominantly expressed in the muscle and fat results in mean lifespan extension of 27% and 37%, respectively, at 29°C [15186745]. Fat-specific drivers DJ634-GAL4 and PO163-GAL4 when used to overexpress dTsc2, also led to a mean lifespan extension of 22% and 31%, respectively, at 29°C [15186745]. | Fly | +20 to +31 | — | — |
| Hsp68 overexpression | Overexpression of Hsp68 extends modestly (by around 15%) median and maximum lifespan [14602080].
There is a consistent and significant lifespan extension by 20% in both males and females when hsp68 is overexpressed in somatic cells. hp68 overexpression using GMR-Gal4, and eye-specific driver that expresses Gal4 in salivary glands has no effects.Hsp78 overexpression using the weaker 5961FS driver moderately but significantly extends lifespan [20976250]. | Fly | +20 | +15 | +15 |
| Ef1alpha48D overexpression | Overexpression of Ef1alpha48D (transformed with a P-element vector and under control of hsp70 regulatory sequences) results in lifespan extension by 18-41% [2508089]. | Fly | +18 to +41 | — | — |
| Sir2 overexpression | Overexpression of Sir2 (alias dSir2) extends lifespan by up to 57% and specifically median lifespan by 40-60%. Ubiquitous Sir2 overexpression causes a 4-fold increase in Sir2 mRNA expression and an up to 57% increase in average lifespan (29% for females and 18% for males). A 10 - 20% increase in Sir2 mRNA levels causes no lifespan extension. Neuronal Sir2 overexpression extends average lifespan by 52% in females and 20% in males. Motor-neuronal specific expression fails to cause lifespan extension. DR fails to cause further increase in lifespan or even reduces lifespan toward normal of dSir2 overexpression mutants [15520384]. Mild Sir2 overexpression in the fat-body extends lifespan and reduces relative body fat content in both males and females [22661237].
A diet-dependent lifespan phenotype of dSir2 overexpression in the fat-body, but not in muscles, negates the effects of background genetic mutants [23246004]. | Fly | +18 to + 57 | +4- to +60 | — |

| Zw overexpression | Mean lifespan of G6PD overexpressor flies is extended in comparison with driver and responder controls, armadillo-GAL4 (up to 38%), Tubulin-GAL4 (up to 29%), C23-GAL4 (up to 27%), da-GAL4 (up to 24%), D42-GAL4 (up to 18%) and Appl-GAL4 (up to 16%). The maximum lifespan is also increased [18809674].
G6PD enzymatic activity as well as levels of NADPH, NADH, and the GSH/GSSG ration are increased [18809674]. | Fly | +16 to + 38 | — | — |
| Jafrac1 overexpression | Neuronal overexpression of Jafrac1 significantly increases both mean and maximum lifespan, while neuronal knockdown as well as loss of function mutation, causes a reduction in lifespan by 30%. The mean lifespan is 26% and 29% higher in females and males, respectively. The maximum lifespan is increased by 22% and 26% in females and males, respectively [19720829].
There is a consistent and significant lifespan extension (15% mean lifespan increase) in both males and females when Jafrac1 is overexpressed in somatic cells. Jafrac1 overexpression using the weaker 5961FS driver moderately but significantly extends lifespan [20976250]. | Fly | +15 to +29 | +22 to +26 | — |
| ImpL2 overexpression | Lmp-L2 over-expression, ubiquitous or restricted to DILP-producing cells and/or gut and fat body, extends lifespan even if induced at adult onset [21108726]. Overexpression of ImpL2 increases mean and maximum lifespan by 15% and 23%, respectively. Lifespan is reduced when Impl2 is strongly over-expressed throughout the adult by the conditional GS driver, act-GS-GAL4 or da-GS-Gal3, while restricted over-expression of the ImpL2 in fat cells by using S106-GS-Gal4, which increases mRNA level about 6-fold extends lifespan in both sexes [22366109]. mRNA for Impl2 was strongly elevated in sterile, long-lived flies [18434551]. | Fly | +15 | — | +23 |
