Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

Overexpression of wild-type Dmp53 (alias p53) during adult life has no significant effect on lifespan. Expression of dominant negative form of Dmp53 specifically in neurons extends lifespan (58% in females and 32% in males) and increases resistance to oxidative stress. Dominant negative Dmp53 expression cancels lifespan extension effect of DR, low calorie-food (5 % SY) [1567].
