Saccharomyces cerevisiae GenDR Dietary Restriction Gene Manipulation: ERG5

Gene Information (Entrez Gene ID: 855029)

Symbol
ERG5
Aliases
CYP61
Name
ERGosterol biosynthesis 5
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (AnAge)
Entrez Gene ID
855029

Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

Deletion of ERG5 decreases replicative lifespan by 35% in the a strain [2504], but increases mean chronological lifespan by 26 - 116% (26, 40, 43, 62, 116) in diploid cells [2593]. Deletion of ERG5 cancels out the replicative lifespan extension of 0.5% glucose restriction [2514].
