| Tert overexpression | Mice genetically modified to express telomerase lived 40% longer and do not develop cancer. Overexpression of Tert in mice engineered to be cancer-resistant by means of ehanced expression of p53, p16 and p19ARF (Sp53/Sp16/SARF/TgTERT) decreased telomere shortening with age, delayed aging and increases mean and median longevity by 40% [19013273]. | Mouse | +40 | +40 | — |
| jnk-1 overexpression | Overexpression of jnk-1 increases lifespan by 40% [15767565; 23097426].
JNK-1 overexpression extends the lifespan in a daf-16-dependent manner. JNK-1 overexpression does not extend the lifespan of animals unable to synthesize miRNAs, i.e. pash-1(mj100) [23097426]. | Worm | +40 | — | — |

| VMA1 overexpression | Overexpression of VMA1 increases vacuolar acidity and suppresses age-induced mitochondrial dysfunction of aged cells (17 or 18 cell divisions) which requires the V-ATPase activity. VMA1 overexpression significantly increases mean, median and maximum lifespan by 39 - 45%, 39 - 48% and 50 - 60%, respectively. DR (0.5% glucose restriction) does not further increase the lifespan of VMA1 overexpression strain [23172144]. | Yeast | +39.3 to +44.8 | +39.3 to +48.3 | +50.0 to +60.0 |
| OSH6 overexpression | Elevation of OSH6 levels by an ERG6 promoter extends mean, median and maximum replicative lifespan by 39, 52 and 18% which is non-additive with 0.5% glucose restriction. It also extends the lifespan of NYV1 mutant [Geber et al., unpublished].
The long lifespan of Perg6-OSH6 is not further extended by deletion of TOR1 [22622083].
OSH6 overexpression decreases total cellular sterol content and reduces Lst8 protein levels. The CC domain of Osh6 is dispensable for longevity [Fusheng Tang, personal communication]. | Yeast | +39 | +52 | +18 |
| 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 | — | — |

| LAG2 overexpression | When LAG2 is overexpressed in SP1 strain, the mean and maximum replicative lifespan is extended by about 36% and 54%, respectively. Overexpression induced at generation 12 similarly increases replicative lifespan [8760941]. | Yeast | +36 | — | +54 |
| SIR2 overexpression | Integration of a second copy of SIR2 into the wild-type strain leads to an extension of replicative lifespan by around 35% in W303R strain[10521401]. 0.05% glucose restriction further extends replicative lifespan of SIR2 overexpression mutant [15328540]. Overexpression extends replicative lifespan in several strains, but not in PSY316 | Yeast | +35 | — | — |
| CG13890 overexpression | Overexpression of CG13890 (DCI) throughout the whole body increases mean and median lifespan by 35 and 31%, but decreases maximum lifespan by 6%, increases stress resistant (to paraquat and starvation), consistently reduces the mortality rate across adult ages and reduces the lifespan extension of DR by 15% [22997544].
CG6783 overexpression increases the dFOXO nuclear localization in the fat-body. mRNA levels of dFOXO target genes l(2)efl and 4E-BP in the adult whole bodies increases in response to overexpression of CG6783 [22997544]. | Fly | +35 | +31 | +6 |

| p53 dominant negative overexpression | Expression of dominant-negative versions of p53 in adult neurons extends lifespan by 58% in females and by 32% in males and increases resistance to genotoxic stress and resistance to oxidative stress, but not to starvation or heat stress, while not affecting egg production or physical activity. Dominant negative Dmp53 expression cancels out lifespan extension effect of DR, low calorie-food (5% SY). Muscle or fat body specific expression of a dominant negative form of Dmp53 as well as globally lack of Dmp53 decreases lifespan [16303568].
Expression of dominant-negative (DN) form of p53 in adult neurons, but not in muscle or fat body cells, extends median lifespan by 19% and maximum lifespan by 8%. The lifespan of dietary-restricted flies is not further extended by simultaneously expressing DN-DMp53 in the nervous system, indicating that a decrease in Dmp53 activity may be part of the DR lifespan-extending effect. Selective expression of DN-Dmp53 in only the 14 insulin-producing cell (IPCs) in the brain extends lifespan to the same extent as expression in all neurons and this lifespan extension is not additive with DR [17686972].
