| SNCA overexpression | Transgenic lines overexpressing either human wild-type or mutant (A53T) forms of the SNCA (alpha-synclein) gene under a pan-neuronal promoter live on average about 25% longer, even in weak (m577) and strong (e1370) daf-2 mutant backgrounds, and exhibited decreased pharyngeal pumping and egg-laying. Wild-type SNCA crossed into eat-2(ad1113) does not significantly effect lifespan compared to that of the background strain. Pumping rate in wild-type SCNA and A53T SCNA overexpression mutants were less than control already at day 1 of adulthood. The attenuation of lifespan exptesion by SNCA overexpression by growing on thick bacterial lawns, suggests that DR may explain some fo the effects on lifespan. SCNA overexpression increases average lifespan by 21.3% (wild-type) and 16.3% (A53T) [16782295]. | Worm | +26 to +34 | — | +19 to +31 |
| lars-2 mutation | A mutation that impairs mitochondrial function was associated with a longer lifespan. Mutation of lrs-2/lars-2(mg312) extends lifespan and is associated with impaired mitochondrial function. The recessive allele mg312 of lars-2 extends lifespan by 200% at 20 degree Celsius and 30% at 25 degree Celsius. Lifespan extension by mg312 was not dependent on daf-16(mgDf47). Homozygous lars-2(mg312) worms had multiple pleotropies like lower rates of growth, pumping and defecation as well as remain the size of early L4 worms and are sterile, with an arrested gonad that exhibited no germ-cell differentiation lars-2 is ubiquitously express, with prominent expression in body-wall muscle and neurons, with a mitochondrial subcellular localisation. Mitochondria of lars-2 are noticeably disorganized, swollen and sometimes fused. lars-2 animals have lower ATP content and oxygen consumption [12447374]. | Worm | +30 to +200 | — | — |
