| TSA1 activating mutation | 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]. | Yeast | — | — | — |
| 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 | — | — |
| SOD2 overexpression | Combined overexpression of SOD1 and SOD2 extends chronological lifespan by 30% in EG103 strain [12586694].

| CTA1 overexpression | CTA1 overexpression partially suppresses the shortened chronological lifespan by ISC1 mutation [21707788]. | Yeast | — | — | — |
| RPL31A deletion | Deletion of RPL31A increases mean replicative lifespan by 45% [16293764]. Mean replicative lifespan increases by 35% in the alpha strain and 50% in a strain [19030232; 18423200]. Mean replicative lifespan of the RPL31A deletion mutant increases by 35% in the ORF collection and by 29% in the remade strain [22377630]. RPL31A deletion increases significantly replicative lifespan [17174052]. Deletion of RPL31A extends replicative lifespan and is not further extended by 0.05% glucose restriction [18423200]. | Yeast | +29 to +50 | — | — |
| 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HES1 levels by an ERG6 promoter reduces mean, median and maximum replicative lifespan by 25, 18 and 29% [Geber et al., unpublished] | Yeast | -25 | -18 | -29 |
| 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 |
| FRE6 deletion | FRE6 deletion increases mean replicative lifespan by 14% and cancels out the lifespan extending effect of DR [22912585]. | Yeast | +14 | — | -2 |
| HST2 overexpression | HST2 overexpression extends replicative lifespan. 0.5% glucose restriction does not increase lifespan of sir2;fob1;hst2 triple mutants [16051752]. DR increases lifespan of all four sir2;fob1;hstX(X = sirtuin) triple mutants [16741098; 17129213]. | Yeast | — | — | — |
| 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 | — | — |
| 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 | — | — |
| 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 | — | — |
| RAS1 overxpression | No lifespan extension results from overexpression of RAS1 (in SP1) [8034612]. | Yeast | — | — | — |
| BMH2 overexpression | Overexpressing 14-3-3 protein, Bmh2, significantly extends median chronological lifespan by activating stress response [19805817]. | Yeast | — | — | — |
| 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 | — | — |
| AAT1 overexpression | Overexpression of AAT1 extends replicative lifespan by 25% and does not synergize with 0.5% glucose restriction [18381895]. | Yeast | +25 | — | — |

| ERG2 overexpression | Overexpression of ERG2 with the promoter of ERG6 (Perg6-ERG2) extends replicative lifespan and this effect was overlapping with moderate DR, because DR can not extend the lifespan of this mutant [Tang et al., unpublished]. | Yeast | — | — | — |
| FBP1 overexpression | Overexpression of FBP1 shortens chronological lifespan [16199065]. | Yeast | — | — | — |
| GUT2 overexpression | Overexpression of GUT2 extends replicative lifespan by 25% and does not synergize with 0.5% glucose restriction [18381895]. | Yeast | +25 | — | — |
| 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 | — | — |
| 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 | — | — | — |
| MAPK1 overexpression | Overexpression of human MAPK1 (alias ERK2) confers resistance to heat shock and oxidative stress extends median chronological lifespan by 24% and was statistically non-addative with cyr1-1 mutation [17662940]. | Yeast | — | +24 | — |
