Saccharomyces cerevisiae GenDR Dietary Restriction Gene Manipulation: ATG8

Gene Information (Entrez Gene ID: 852200)

Symbol

Aliases
APG8 AUT7 CVT5
Name
ubiquitin-like protein ATG8
Organism

Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

Methionine restriction (a form of dietary restriction), aquired through MET2 or MET17 knockout, enhances lifespan in yeast. In both MET2 and MET17 models, this lifespan extension is abolished by the deletion of ATG5, ATG7, or ATG8 lifespan reaching comparable or even lower survival levels to those of controls.
