Caenorhabditis elegansGenAge entry for rsks-1 (Caenorhabditis elegans)

Gene information (ID: 578)

Symbol
rsks-1
Name
RSK-pSeventy (RSK-p70 kinase) homolog
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)
Known functions and activities
Translational regulator

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
RNA interference reducing S6K (rsks-1) mRNA levels by about two-fold extended mean lifespan 13-47% and maximum lifespan by up to 60%. Deletion mutants also lived longer. A life-extending effect was also observed in daf-16 mutants and sir-2.1 mutants but not in daf-2 mutants. TOR RNA interference further extended lifespan.
% change in max lifespan
Maximum lifespan is up to 60% higher.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Average lifespan is 13-47% higher.
Lifespan Effect
Increase
Genetic Manipulation
RNA interference
Longevity Category
Anti-Longevity

    Observations
    RNAi resulted in a 22% maximum lifespan increase. In the rsks-1 (ok1255) mutant background, inhibition of ifg-1 led to a further extension of 40% in maximum lifespan. However, inhibition of let-363 (worm homologue of TOR) by RNAi in rsks-1 mutant background led to a slight shortening of MLS. In the daf-2 (e1370) mutant background, inhibition of either ifg-1 or rsks-1 further extended lifespan by 70% and 24%, respectively. Inhibition of either ifg-1 or rsks-1 extended lifespan by 27% and 14%, respectively, in a daf-16 (mu86 ) background. Inhibition of either ifg-1 or rsks-1 in the clk-1(e2519) mutant background led to a further lifespan extension by 19% and 13%, respectively. Inhibition of either ifg-1 or rsks-1 extended lifespan in the eat-2 background by 54% and 11%, respectively. In a sir-2.1 mutant background, ifg-1 inhibition extended lifespan by 93% and rsks-1 inhibition by 33%.
