| CG5389 RNAi | RNAi of complex V subunit CG5389 results in increased mean longevity under standard laboratory food conditions (3% yeast) in males. RNAi started from the development results in a mild lifespan increase in both sexes (3-11% in females and 3-8% in males). Post-developmental RNAi and silencing limited to neurons has variable effects with reduction in lifespan of up to 9% [19747824]. Under rich media conditions CG5389 knockdown throughout development and adulthood increases mean lifespan by 26% and abolished the lifespan extension by DR (started in the adulthood) in males. Suppression of CG5389 only during the adulthood either via RNAi by tub-GS or via oligomycin (a specific inhibitor of complex V) feeding prevents an increase in longevity under DR (started in the adulthood) in males [19968629]. | Fly | -9 to +26 | — | — |
| CG7834 knockdown | Muscle specific RNAi knockdown of CG7834 which reduces its mRNA levels by 25-35%, significantly reduces the DR-dependent lifespan extension. CG7834 RNAi animals exhibit only a 14% increase compared to the 55% lifespan-increase in controls upon DR [22768842]. | Fly | — | — | — |
| CG9172 RNAi | RNAi against CG9172 increases mean lifespan in females by up to 4-12% when applied in both development and adulthood, and up to 46% when applied in adult neurons only. For males the effect is variable [19747824]. | Fly | +4 to +46 | — | — |
| cm mutation | Loss-of-function mutation in cm reduces mean lifespan by 43 - 53% and maximum lifespan by 40 - 44% [17435236]. | Fly | -43 to -53 | — | -40 to -44 |
| Dcr-2 mutation | Median lifespan of homozyogous and transheterozyogous Dcr-2 mutants is reduced by 18-36% in males and by 27-36% in females. Dcr-2 loss changes the expression of mostly metabolic genes implicated in stress resistance and aging. Dcr-2 mutants are hypersensitive to oxidative, endoplasmic reticulum, starvation and cold stress as well as abnormal lipid and carbohydrate metabolism [21889502].

| Dominant negative Tor | Expression of a dominant-negative form of Tor extends lifespan [15186745]. Ubiquitious overexpression of dTOR with the da-GAL4 driver of UAS-dTOR(FRB) which contains the 11kDA FKB12-rapamycin binding domain led to a mean and maximum lifespan increase of 15% (24%) and 29% at 29°C and of 50% (26%) and 13% at 25°C, respectively [15186745].
Overexpression of the dominant-negative form of Tor specifically in the fat and muscle tissues is sufficient to extend the mean and maximum lifespan by 24 and 19%, respectively [15186745].
Overexpression of UAS-dTOR(WT) or UAS-dTOR(TED) prevents eclosion to adulthood [15186745]. | Fly | +15 to +50 | +13 to +29 | — |
| 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 | — | — |
| dor mutation | Loss-of-function mutation in dor reduces mean lifespan by 70 - 81% and maximum lifespan by 71 - 78% [17435236]. | Fly | -70 to -81 | — | -71 to -78 |
| dys knockout | Loss of dys function in the heart leads to an age-dependent disruption of the myofibrillar organization within the myocardium as well as to alterations in cardiac performance. Mesodermal dys knockout results in a morderate maximum lifespan reduction (13%), but not when exclusively targeted to the heart. In contrast, half of the transheteozygous DysExel618/Dyskx43 deficiency flies die at 29 days compared to 63 days in controls. This indicates that a moderate dye loss-of-function in all muscles, but not in just the heart, reduces the normal lifespan [18221418]. | Fly | — | — | -13 |

| E(z) mutation | Flies heterozygous for the protein null E(z)63 or the catalytically inactive E(z)731 mutation that are progeny of an out-cross to an Oregon-R (O-R) wild-type strain exhibit a substantially greater median lifespan than the O-R control (71% and 76%, respectively). When derived from an out-cross to a longer-lived Canton-S (C-S) wild-type strain, the median lifespan of E(z)63 heterozygous is 33% longer than the C-S control [20018689]. | Fly | — | +33 to +76 | — |
| EcR mutation | Mutant heterozygotes in EcR live on mean 40%-50% longer than controls [12610309; reviewed in 12610294]. Homozygous mutants in EcR are inviable.

| esc mutation | Males heterozygous for the null esc4 or the dominant negative esc9 mutation that are progeny of an out-cross to a O-R wild-type strain have median lifespan that is, respectively, 47% and 60% longer than the O-R control. When derived from an out-cross to a longer-lived C-S wild-type strain, heterozygous esc9 flies have a median lifespan that is 43% longer than the C-S control [20018689]. | Fly | +47 to +60 | — | +34 |
