Saccharomyces cerevisiae GenDR Dietary Restriction Gene Manipulation: HST2

Gene Information (Entrez Gene ID: 856092)

Symbol
HST2
Name
Homolog of SIR Two (SIR2) 2
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (AnAge)
Entrez Gene ID
856092

Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

HST2 overexpression extends replicative lifespan. 0.5% glucose restriction does not increase lifespan of sir2;fob1;hst2 triple mutants [2309]. DR increases lifespan of all four sir2;fob1;hstX(X = sirtuin) triple mutants [2558].
