Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing
- Observations
-
Overexpression of InRDN (the dominant negative form of insulin receptor) in mated females flies, which results in the inactivation of TOR signaling, affects lifespan extension by methionine restriction. While at 1.0x diet (normal level of all amino-acids, 15% dietary yeast) methionine reduction (from 1mM to 0.2mM) shortened lifespan both for InRDN overexpressing and control flies, at a 0.4x diet (0.4x reduced levels of all amino acids, corresponding to 6% dietary yeast) methionine reduction resulted in an increased lifespan but only for controls, suggesting in this case that methionine reduction and overexpressing InRDN share some common mechanisms.
