Caenorhabditis elegansGenAge entry for isp-1 (Caenorhabditis elegans)

Gene information (ID: 379)

Symbol
isp-1
Name
Iron-Sulfur Protein
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)
Known functions and activities
Iron sulfur protein of mitochondrial complex III

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
A missense mutation leads to low oxygen consumption, decreased sensitivity to reactive oxygen species, and increased mean (60%) and maximum (100%) lifespan.
% change in max lifespan
Maximum lifespan is 100% higher.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Average lifespan is 60% higher.

    Observations
    Treating the respiratory mutant isp-1(qm150) with rps-15 or S6K/rsks-1 RNAi further extended its lifespan by 25-30%.
    Lifespan Effect
