act-4 RNAi | Knockdown of act-4 started after the animal reached the late L4 stage decreases mean lifespan by 28% [22103665]. | Worm | — | — | — |
Activating let-60 mutation | The let-60(n1046gf) activating mutation greatly reduces lifespan of wild-type, weakly suppresses constitutive dauer diapause in daf-2 and age-1 mutants and extends lifespan induced by mutation of daf-2 [16164423]. | Worm | — | — | — |
age-1 mutation | Recessive knockout mutants of age-1 have a 40-65% increase in mean lifespan and a 65-110% increase in maximum lifespan [8608934; 8700226]. age-1(mg44) zygotic null mutants have a mean (99%) and maximum (117%) lifespan extension [18828672]. Even in axenic culture lifespan of age-1 is extended up to 100%. age-1 mutation significantly extends lifespan under AL, but only slightly under sDR [16720740].
age-1 mutants are dauer constitutive [8056303] and display lower brood size as well as increased embryonic lethality [9504918]. Additionally, age-1 mutants have elevated levels of superoxidase dismutase and catalase activities [8389142]. | Worm | +99 | — | +117 |
age-1 RNAi | RNAi against age-1 extends lifespan by 30% [8700226; 8608934]. age-1 RNAi increases mean and maximum lifespan by 36-46% and 48-50% [12447374]. RNAi against age-1 increases mean lifespan by 83% [18828672]. age-1(mg44) zygotic null mutants have a mean (99%) and maximum (117%) lifespan extension [18828672]. | Worm | +36 to +99 | — | +48 to +117 |
age-2 mutation | Homocygous age-2 mutation increases mean (+43%, +31%, +38%) and maximum (+29%, +36%, +18%)) lifespan by about 20%. age-2 mutant exhibit normal motility, slightly higher swimming rates, reduced fertility and somewhat longer development times and slightly larger size at the first egg laying. Lifespan is extended by reducing the initial mortality rate. age-2 mutation complements other aging gene mutations such as age-1, daf-2, spe-26, clk-1, clk-3 and gro-1. A age-1 age-2 double mutant lives longer than animals with individual mutations and exhibits a longer lifespan at 25 degree Celsius than at 20 degree Celsius [10219000]. | Worm | +20 | — | +20 |

aqp-1 mutation | Similar to daf-16 and hsf-1 mutants, aqp-1 mutants were short-lived, and their short lifespan was not further decreased by glucose. Overexpression of aqp-1::GFP rescued short lifespan of aqp-1 deletion mutants and partially prevented glucose from shortening lifespan. aqp-1 mutation does not further decrease the short lifespan of daf-16 and/or hsf-1 mutants. Dietary glucose does not cause significant differences in levels of glucose or glycerol in wild-type vs. aqp-1 mutants [19883616]. | Worm | — | — | — |
