    LBR overexpression Overexpression of Lamin B receptor in the adult muscle and in the abdominal fat body results in a 54% and 46% reduction of mean lifespan, respectively [18494863]. Fly
    Loco mutation Reduced expression of Loco due to hetero-deficient results in a 17-20% longer mean lifespan for both male and females, besides the fact that the homozygous deficiency of loco is lethal. Several of these long-lived mutants are more resistant to stresses such as starvation, oxidation ad heat. Additional mutant have higher Manganese-containing superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) activity, increased fat content an diminished cAMP levels. Loco RGS domain is required for the regulation of longevity as deletion analysis suggest [21776417]. Fly +17 to +20
    magu overexpression Adult-specific overexpression of magu increases lifespan by 5-30% and modulates late-age fecundity [19011900]. Fly +5 to +30
    Mlp84B RNAi RNA interference of Mlp84B specifically in the heart results in bradycardia and heart rythm abnormalities as well as a shorter mean lifespan in males but not in females [18083727]. Fly
    MTF-1 overexpression MTF-1 overexpression in either the peripheral nervous system or motorneurons extends both mean and maximum lifespan by 40% in males [18775584]. Fly +40 +40
    Naam overexpression Naam overexpression increases mean and maximum lifespan by 30% in both females and males. The lifespan extension is reversed by Sir2 mutants, indicating the it is dependent on Sir2 [18678867]. Fly +30 +30
    bchs mutation Loss of function mutation in bchs results in a 40-45% decrease in mean lifespan and is associated with age-related neurodegenerative phenotype with reduced CNS size and altered morphology as well as accumulation of insoluble ubiquinated proteins and amyloid precursor-like proteins along with an increase in neuronal apoptosis. No pronounced developmental defects were observed and young adults have normal behaviours, indicating that the bchs gene is essential for normal adult survival and longevity [12598614]. bchs mutation reduces mean lifespan by 28 - 54% and maximum lifespan by 24 - 46% [17435236]. Fly -28 to -54 -24 to -46
    pex16 mutation pex16 mutation lead to a reduced mean lifespan of one-third in females and on-fourth in males. The short lifespan can be rescued by the simultaneous overexpression of pex16 in the fat body and differentiated neurons [21826223]. Mutant flies lack normal peroxisomes, have an reduced adult body size (70%-85% smaller than controls) and rozy eyes, show locomotion defects in the development of the nervous system [21826223]. Fly -33 to -75
    Prx5 overexpression Prx5 overexpression causes an increase in mean and median lifespan under normal conditions. It also leads to a small increase in maximum lifespan [21826223]. Fly
    Prx5 mutation dprx5(-/-) null mutants are comparatively more susceptible to oxidative stress, have higher incidence of apoptosis, and a shortened mean lifespan, but thee is no significant difference in maximum lifespan (10% survival) [21826223]. Fly
    Pten overexpression Increased Pten and 4E-BP activity in muscles is extends the lifespan [21111239]. Fly
    Increasing JNK signaling Increasing JNK signaling (e.g. via manipulation of puc, hep or hsp82) correlates with increased lifespan and enhanced stress-resistance to oxidative stress [14602080]. Fly
    car mutation Loss-of-function mutation in car results in reduction of mean lifespan by 34 - 63% and maximum lifespan by 28 - 29% [17435236]. Fly -34 to -63 -28 to -29
    SNF4Agamma deletion Deletion of SNF4Agamma from the first day of the imaginal stage shortens mean lifespan by 23% and causes morphological and behavioural features of premature aging [18219227]. Fly -23
    yata mutation yata mutation shortens the maximum lifespan by 68% and results in progressive deterioration of the nervous tissues and aberrant accumulation of Sec23 [19209226]. Fly -68
    Cat overexpression Simultaneous overexpression of catalase and Sod1 results in a one-third (i.e. 30%) lifespan extension, a slower rate of mortality acceleration, and a delayed loss in physical performance, but neither has any effect on lifespan alone [8108730]. Targeted overexpression of CAT in the mitochondrial matrix has no effect on lifespan at 25 degree Celsius, slightly shortens lifespan at 29 degree Celsius as is associated with increased resistance to endogenous hydrogen peroxide, paraquat, and cold stress [12521602]. Fly
    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
    Sod overexpression Simultaneous overexpression of catalase and Sod (alias Sod1) results in a one-third lifespan extension, a slower rate of mortality acceleration, and a delayed loss in physical performance, but neither has any effect on lifespan alone [8108730]. General overexpression of Sod (also known as Cu/ZnSOD) alone is sufficient to extend lifespan by up to 48%. Simultaneous overexpression of catalase with Cu/ZnSOD has no added benefit, presumably due to a pre-existing excess of catalase [9858546]. Fly +38
    Hsp70Ba overexpression Hsp70Ba overexpression reduces mean and maximum lifespan up to 30% [19420297]. Fly -30 -30
    Cct1 overexpression Overexpression of Cct1 from a doxycycline-inducible promoter results in a 6 - 8% increase in mean lifespan (in the PdL x rtTA; Oregon-R x rtTA strain) [12620118]. Fly +6 to +8
    Constitutive miR-277 expression Constitutive miR-277 expression shortens lifespan and synthetically lethal with reduced insulin signaling, indicating that metabolic control underlies this phenotype [23669073]. Fly
    Cdk5 mutation Cdk5 loss-of-function mutations result in defective axon guidance, age-dependent behavioral deficits and reduced lifespan by about one third [17368005]. Fly
    miR-277 inhibition Transgenic inhibition of miR-277 with a miRNA sponge construct shortens lifespan [23669073]. Fly
    Hsp22 overexpression Overexpression of mitochondrial Hsp22 in all cells or specifically in motorneurons (using GAL4/UAS binary system) increases life lifespan by 32% and resistance to oxidative stress [19948727; 20036725]. Ubiquitous or a targeted expression of Hsp22 within motorneurons increases the mean lifespan by more than 30%. Hsp22 shows beneficial effects on early-aging events since the premortality phase displays the same increase as the mean lifespan [14734639]. Fly +30 to 32
    Hsp22 transposition Animals that do not express Hsp22 (due to a transposition into its transcriptional starting site) have a 40% decrease in lifespan, exhibit a 30% decrease in locomotor activity and are sensitive to mild stress [20036725]. Fly -40
