Drosophila melanogaster GenDR Dietary Restriction Gene Manipulation: Cbs

Gene Information (Entrez Gene ID: 33081)

Symbol
Cbs
Aliases
CBS CG1753 dCBS Dmel\CG1753
Name
Cystathionine beta-synthase
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster (AnAge)
Entrez Gene ID
33081

Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

Ubiquitous or neuron-specific overexpression of Cbs enhances longevity in fully-fed animals. Cbs RNAi partly abrogates increased lifespan by DR, but has no effect on fully fed animals. It appears that Cbs upregulation is required for increased lifespan under low-nutrient conditions. Response of male flies to DR is muted in comparison with females [2589].
