| YDC1 overexpression | YDC1 overexpression decreases chronological lifespan by 40% [19059240]. | Yeast | -40 | — | — |
| HES1 overexpression | Elevation of HES1 levels by an ERG6 promoter reduces mean, median and maximum replicative lifespan by 25, 18 and 29% [Geber et al., unpublished] | Yeast | -25 | -18 | -29 |
| SNF1 overexpression | Overexpression (high-copy 2 micro expression) of SNF1 shortens replicative lifespan to 75% of wild-type and is accompanied by signs of premature ageing, including proegressive sterility, enlargment and fragmentation of the nucleus, redistribution of Sir3 to the nucleus, and more rapid accumulation of extrachromosomal rDNA circles [10921902]. SNF1 overexpression also reduced chronological lifespan [19164565]. | Yeast | -25 | — | — |
| PNC1 overexpression | Cells with 5 copies of PNC1 have a 70% longer replicative lifespan which is cancelled out by SIR2 deletion. Overexpression of PNC1 suppresses the effect of exogenously added nicotinamide on Sir2-dependent silencing at HM loci, telomeres and rDNA loci [12736687; 14729974]. 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]. | Yeast | +70 | — | — |
| NPT1 overexpression | Increased dosage of NPT1 increases SIR2-dependent silencing, stabilizes the rDNA locus and extends replicative lifespan by up to 60%. 0.5% glucose restriction does not significantly further increase replicative lifespan of NPT1 overexpression [11884393]. NPT1 deletion decreases replicative lifespan by 50% [17482543] as well as chronological lifespan [17110466]. Deletion of NPT1 shortens the lifespan in W303R. Replicative lifespan extension of cdc25-10 mutation (assumed to act as a genetic DR-mimetic) is cancelled out by NPT1 deletion [11000115]. | Yeast | +60 | — | — |
| SSD1-V overexpression | Overexpression of SSD1 (addition of a SSD1-V allele) increases replicative lifespan by 50%, independently of SIR2 and SIR2 further extends the lifespan, although SIR2 is necessary for SSD1-V cells to attain maximal lifespan [15126388]. SSD1-V also dramatically increases chronological lifespan with lifespan twice as long as ssd1-d cells [19570907].
Addition of SSD1-V allele to an ssd1-d strain suppresses the short lifespan of an MPT5 deletion mutant [11805047] and extend wild-type lifespan [Kaeberlein and Guarente, unpublished].
SSD1-V slightly extends the lifespan of swi4 and ccr4 mutant strains and suppresses the temperature sensitive growth phenotype of mpt5, ccr3, swi4, and swi6 single mutants [11805047]. SSD1-V also suppresses the synthetic lethality caused by deletion of MPT5 in combination with a mutation in SWI4, SWI6, or CCR4 [11805047]. SSD1-V suppresses mutations that affect cell wall stability [1545797; 8386319], RNA polymerase III activity [8510644], RNA splicing [10446233], and PKA activity [1848673; 8200529]. | Yeast | +50 to +100 | — | — |
| RAS2 overexpression | Overexpression of RAS2 causes a 43% increase in mean and 18% increase in maximum lifespan as well as postpones the age-related increase in generation time [8034612]. | Yeast | +43 | — | +18 |
| VMA1 overexpression | Overexpression of VMA1 increases vacuolar acidity and suppresses age-induced mitochondrial dysfunction of aged cells (17 or 18 cell divisions) which requires the V-ATPase activity. VMA1 overexpression significantly increases mean, median and maximum lifespan by 39 - 45%, 39 - 48% and 50 - 60%, respectively. DR (0.5% glucose restriction) does not further increase the lifespan of VMA1 overexpression strain [23172144]. | Yeast | +39.3 to +44.8 | +39.3 to +48.3 | +50.0 to +60.0 |
| OSH6 overexpression | Elevation of OSH6 levels by an ERG6 promoter extends mean, median and maximum replicative lifespan by 39, 52 and 18% which is non-additive with 0.5% glucose restriction. It also extends the lifespan of NYV1 mutant [Geber et al., unpublished].
The long lifespan of Perg6-OSH6 is not further extended by deletion of TOR1 [22622083].
OSH6 overexpression decreases total cellular sterol content and reduces Lst8 protein levels. The CC domain of Osh6 is dispensable for longevity [Fusheng Tang, personal communication]. | Yeast | +39 | +52 | +18 |
| LAG2 overexpression | When LAG2 is overexpressed in SP1 strain, the mean and maximum replicative lifespan is extended by about 36% and 54%, respectively. Overexpression induced at generation 12 similarly increases replicative lifespan [8760941]. | Yeast | +36 | — | +54 |
| SIR2 overexpression | Integration of a second copy of SIR2 into the wild-type strain leads to an extension of replicative lifespan by around 35% in W303R strain[10521401]. 0.05% glucose restriction further extends replicative lifespan of SIR2 overexpression mutant [15328540]. Overexpression extends replicative lifespan in several strains, but not in PSY316 | Yeast | +35 | — | — |
| HAP4 overexpression | Overexpression of HAP4 from the ADH1 promoter extends lifespan of PSY316 strain approximately 40% under growth conditions favoring fermentation (2% glucose). Overexpression of HAP4 increases replicative lifespan, but is non-additive with 0.5% glucose restriction in lifespan extension. Lifespan extension by HAP4 overexpression requires SIR2 [12124627]. HAP4 deletion suppresses replicative lifespan extension to 30% and 33% on 0.1% glucose and on elimination of non-essential amino acids, respectively [20178842]. HAP4 overexpressing cells demonstrate a transcriptional response resembling cells undergoing diauxic shift, consume more oxygen, and exhibit increased Sir2-dependent transcriptional silencing at telomeres and rDNA [12124627]. | Yeast | +30 to +40 | — | — |

| VPH2 overexpression | Overexpression of VPH2 increases the levels of assembled V-ATPase at the vacuolar membrane, increases vacuolar acidity and suppresses age-induced mitochondrial dysfunction of aged cells (17 or 18 cell divisions) which requires the V-ATPase activity. VPH2 overexpression significantly increases mean, median and maximum replicative lifespan by 23, 25 and 34%, respectively [23172144].

| MPT5 overexpression | Overexpression of MPT5 from the ADH promoter extends replicative lifespan by about 20% in W303R [11805047] and by 25% in PSY142 [9150138].
MPT5 overexpression suppresses the temperature phenotype of POP2 mutant [9504907]. | Yeast | +20 to +25 | — | — |
| NDE1 NDE2 overexpression | Overexpression of NDE1 and NDE2 increases intracellular NAD/NADH ratio by lowering NADH concentration and increases replicative lifespan by 20-25%. This lifespan extension is non-additive with 0.5% glucose restriction [14724176]. | Yeast | +20 to +25 | — | — |
| Overexpression of truncated TLC1 | Overexpression of a truncated allele of TLC1 abrogates telomere silencing [7545955], shortened telomeres and extends replicative lifespan approximately by 20% [9275199]. Deletion of TLC1 might decrease replicative lifespan [Nugent et al., 1996]. | Yeast | +20 | — | — |
| LAT1 overexpression | In contrast, overexpressing LAT1 extends replicative lifespan, and this lifespan extension was not further increased by 0.5% glucose restriction. Similar to DR, replicative lifespan extension by LAT1 overexpression largely requires mitochondrial respiration [17200108]. Overexpressing Lat1 extends lifespan (20% mean lifespan increase) and this lifespan extension is not further increased by DR. Similar to DR, lifespan extension by LAT1 overexpression largely requires mitochondrial respiration indicating mitochondrial metabolism plays an important role in DR. Interestingly, LAT1 overexpression does not require the Sir2 family to extend lifespan. Lat1 is also a limiting longevity factor in non-dividing cells in that overexpressing LAT1 extends cell survival during prolonged culture at stationary phase. | Yeast | +20 | — | — |
| NNT1 overexpression | Overexpression of NNT1 by 5-fold extends mean and maximum replicative lifespan by 18 and 23%, which is approximately of the same magnitude as the lifespan extension obtained from DR.DR in NNT1 overexpression mutant fails to significantly affect the lifespan and only results in extended mean lifespan by 12% and reduced maximum lifespan by 11%. NNT1 overxpression increases rDNA silencing [12736687]. | Yeast | +18 | — | +23 |
| CIT2 overexpression | Overexpression of CIT2 has no effect on replicative lifespan [10224252]. | Yeast | — | — | — |
| HSP104 overexpression | Overexpression of HSP104 driven by GAL promoter is insufficient to extend replicative lifespan [9851879]. Overproduction of HSP104 in wild-type cells has no effect on replicative life span, but suppresses the reduced lifespan of Sir2-deficient cells [17908928]. HSP104 overproduction is sufficient to induce thermotolerance [8643570]. | Yeast | — | — | — |
