Caenorhabditis elegansGenAge entry for wwp-1 (Caenorhabditis elegans)

Gene information (ID: 733)

Symbol
wwp-1
Name
WW domain Protein (E3 ubiquitin ligase)
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)
Known functions and activities
Ubiquitin-protein ligase

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
RNA interference of wwp-1 results in reduced lifespan at 25 degrees (but not at 20 degrees). Transgenic overexpression of wwp-1 results in a 20% increase in lifespan.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Lifespan is 20% higher.

    Observations
    RNA interference decreased median lifespan by 9% in wild type animals and 24% in daf-2 mutants.
    % change in avg or median lifespan
    Median lifespan is 9% lower.
