Caenorhabditis elegansGenAge entry for rle-1 (Caenorhabditis elegans)

Gene information (ID: 552)

Symbol
rle-1
Name
Regulation of Longevity by E3 ubiquitin ligase
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)
Known functions and activities
E3 ubiquitin ligase

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Disruption of rle-1 extended maximum lifespan by about 30%, dependent on daf-16 since disruption of daf-16 in rle-1 mutants reversed the life-extending effects. Overexpression of daf-16 in rle-1 mutants further increased lifespan. Disrupted of rle-1 also resulted in partial embryonic lethality and fewer progeny.
% change in max lifespan
Maximum lifespan is about 30% higher.
