Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

Mutations in clk-1 slow down development and extend lifespan by 30% [946]. Food restriction by eat-2 mutation does not further extend the long lifespan of clk-1 mutant [1820]. DR and clk-1 mutations may extend lifespan by a similar process. DR by intermittent fasting significantly extends lifespan of clk-1 mutants, but to a lesser extent than that of wild-type [2566]. clk-1 mutants do not respond to solid DR-induced lifespan extension [2568]. clk-1 mutants have a decreased pharyngeal pumping that may provoke voluntary DR [1820].
