Caenorhabditis elegans GenDR Dietary Restriction Gene Manipulation: gas-1

Gene Information (Entrez Gene ID: 181646)

Symbol
gas-1
Name
Probable NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] iron-sulfur protein 2, mitochondrial
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)
Entrez Gene ID
181646

Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

Under normal conditions downregulation of gas-1 in worms increased mean lifespan by 16%. When worms lacking gas-1 were subjected to dietary restriction the difference in lifespan extension was reduced compared to the control (30% compared to 51% for the control). Thus downregulation of gas-1 triggers a dietary restriction like effect.
