A Manually Curated Knowledgebase of Aging across a variety of Species

Details


Name sir4-42
Type somatic mutation
Species Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Tissue NA
Experiment Method other
Up/Down NA
Pro/Anti Anti
Funtion Description Our findings suggest that sir4-42 extends life span by preventing recruitment of the SIR proteins to HM loci and telomeres, thereby increasing their concentration at other chromosomal regions.
Regulation Gene SIR4
Year 1995
Pubmed ID 7859289
Title Mutation in the silencing gene SIR4 can delay aging in S. cerevisiae.
Drug NA
