GenDR Dietary Restriction Gene Manipulation: MET17
Gene Information (Entrez Gene ID: 851010)
- Symbol
- MET17
- Aliases
- MET15 MET25
- Name
- bifunctional cysteine synthase/O-acetylhomoserine aminocarboxypropyltransferase MET17
- Organism
- Saccharomyces cerevisiae (AnAge)
- Entrez Gene ID
- 851010
Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing
- Observations
-
Methionine restriction enhances lifespan in various organisms. In yeast, higher levels of supplemented methionine lead to decreased survival in the MET17 (known also as MET15) knockout strain whereas a reduction of methionine leads to improved longevity, but not in the control strain (MET+).
