Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Mutant SESN-1 worms (ok3157 or tm2827) show a decrease in lifespan at both 20C and 25C (up to 46%). Similarly, RNAi of SESN-1 also decreases lifespan (up to 31%).
% change in avg or median lifespan
Median lifespan is up to 46% lower.

    Observations
    Overexpressing SESN-1 results in an increase lifespan compared to wild-types (by up to 16%). Additionally, expression of the SESN-1 gene can also rescue the phenotype of short-lived SESN-1 mutants.
    % change in avg or median lifespan
    Median lifespan is up to 16% higher.
