Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

sir-2.1 deletion slightly reduces lifespan of wild-type [2296]. sir-2.1 overexpression extends lifespan by about 50% and this lifespan extension depends on DAF-16 activity and it does not synergize with daf-2 [199]. sir-2.1 suppresses longevity of eat-2 mutants, but not daf-2 mutants. sir-2.1 is therefore partially required for lifespan extension from mutation of eat-2 [2296], but is completely independent for lifespan extension from DR using a reduced feeding protocol [3446]. Solid DR increases lifespan of wild-type and sir-2.1 mutants to the same extent [2568].
