GenDR Dietary Restriction Gene Manipulation: MET2
Gene Information (Entrez Gene ID: 855444)
- Symbol
- MET2
- Name
- homoserine O-acetyltransferase
- Organism
- Saccharomyces cerevisiae (AnAge)
- Entrez Gene ID
- 855444
Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing
- Observations
-
Methionine restriction enhances lifespan in various organisms. In yeast, higher levels of supplemented methionine lead to decreased survival in the MET2 knockout strain whereas a reduction of methionine after the stationary phase leads to improved longevity in the MET2 strain, but not in the control strain (MET+).
