Genetic mutants with iftb-1, rsks-1 alterations

Names of genes are ordered alphabetically. For the order of interventions, please see the specific paper.

Temperature °C
20
Lifespan (days)
27.6
Phenotype
The lifespans of S6K/rsks-1(sv31) and eIF4E/ife-2(ok306) mutants subjected to TOR RNAi were longer than the lifespans of either the S6K or eIF4E mutant alone
Lifespan comparisons
Double mutant iftb-1(RNAi);rsks-1(sv31) has a lifespan of 27.6 days, while single mutant rsks-1(sv31) has a lifespan of 21.8 days.

Abstract
Many conditions that shift cells from states of nutrient utilization and growth to states of cell maintenance extend lifespan. We have carried out a systematic lifespan analysis of conditions that inhibit protein synthesis. We find that reducing the levels of ribosomal proteins, ribosomal-protein S6 kinase or translation-initiation factors increases the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans. These perturbations, as well as inhibition of the nutrient sensor target of rapamycin (TOR), which is known to increase lifespan, all increase thermal-stress resistance. Thus inhibiting translation may extend lifespan by shifting cells to physiological states that favor maintenance and repair. Interestingly, different types of translation inhibition lead to one of two mutually exclusive outputs, one that increases lifespan and stress resistance through the transcription factor DAF-16/FOXO, and one that increases lifespan and stress resistance independently of DAF-16. Our findings link TOR, but not sir-2.1, to the longevity response induced by dietary restriction (DR) in C. elegans, and they suggest that neither TOR inhibition nor DR extends lifespan simply by reducing protein synthesis.

Ribosomal protein S6 kinase beta

Locus: CELE_Y47D3A.16

Wormbase description: rsks-1 encodes a putative ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K) required additively with IFG-1 for normally high levels of protein synthesis, and for normally short lifespan; RSKS-1's effect on lifespan is independent of DAF-16, ISP-1, and SIR-2.1, and does not correlate with juglone resistance, but does correlate with abnormally high resistance to starvation and (perhaps) thermotolerance; RSKS-1 is required for normal juglone resistance, as well as normally rapid growth and normal brood sizes; RSKS-1 is expressed in E-lineage embryonic cells, and in pharyngeal and hypodermal cells of larvae and adults; RSKS-1 is orthologous to human RPS6KB1 (OMIM:608938) and RPS6KB2 (OMIM:608939).
