Caenorhabditis elegans GenDR Dietary Restriction Gene Manipulation: smk-1

Gene Information (Entrez Gene ID: 179243)

Symbol
smk-1
Name
SMEK (Dictyostelium Suppressor of MEK null) homolog 1
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)
Entrez Gene ID
179243

Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

smk-1 RNAi only slightly shortens the lifespan of wild-type worms, but abolishes the extended lifespan of eat-2 mutants. Loss of smk-1 by temperature sensitive allele suppresses the extended lifespan under optimal bacterial dilution DR, but not the response to DR itself [2340].
