COX1 deletion

Species: Podospora anserine (Taxid: 5145)
Factor: COX1
Manipulation: Loss-of-Function, Mutation, Deletion
Effect:

Deletion of mobile group II intron (intron alpha) from COX1 doubles lifespan and prevents accumulation of senescence-associated DNA concatemer corresponding to this of the mitochondrial genome [10330149]. Deletion encompassing COX1's intron alpha and its upstream exon abolishes the senescence process entirely [2999848].
