pha-4 overexpression | pha-4 overexpression increases longevity of wild-type only slightly, but significant that of daf-16 mutants [17476212]. | Worm | — | — | — |
phi-44 RNAi | phi-44 RNAi leads to 46% mean and 50% maximum lifespan extension. Lifespan extension by phi-44 is not suppressed by daf-16.

wwp-1 RNAi | RNA interference of wwp-1 decreases median lifespan by 9% in wild-type animals and 24% in daf-2 mutants [18006689]. Loss of wwp-1 function by RNAi reduces lifespan at 25 degree Celsius, but not 20 degree Celsius. Reduced levels of wwp-1 completely suppress the extended longevity of eat-2 mutants. wwp-1 RNAi does not suppress the extended lifespan of isp-1 mutants and has only minor suppressive effects on lifespan of another mitochondrial mutant, clk-1, and in cyc-1 RNAi treated worms. RNAi depletion of wwp-1 has no effect on long lifespan of daf-2 mutants [19553937].
