Drosophila melanogasterGenAge entry for Top3alpha (Drosophila melanogaster)

Gene information (ID: 2108)

Symbol
Top3alpha
Name
Topoisomerase 3alpha
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Mutant M1L flies, which lack mitochondrial Top3alpha, show decreased median and maximum lifespan when compared to wild type flies. The flies demonstrated a premature ageing phenotype, had mobility defects, and exhibited elevated levels of mitochondrial degeneration.
% change in max lifespan
Maximum lifespan is 25% lower.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Median lifespan is 20% lower.
Lifespan Effect
Decrease
Genetic Manipulation
Mutation
Longevity Category
Pro-Longevity
