NameCYR1
OrganismSaccharomyces cerevisiae (chronological)
Aging PhenotypeLife-span extension
Allele TypeRecessive
StrainDBY746
DescriptionA transposon mutagenized allele of CYR1 results in a 90% increase in chronological life-span (Fabrizio et al., 2001).
Gene FunctionAdenylate cyclase. Generates cAMP in response to RAS activation.
Other PhenotypesNull mutant arrest at G1 phase is rescued by exogenous cAMP (Matsumoto et al., 1982). A transposon mutagenized allele of CYR1 results in resistance to hydrogen peroxide, and resistance to heat shock (Fabrizio et al., 2001).
Deletion of SOD2 fails to prevent the increased stationary phase survival caused by mutation of CYR1. (Fabrizio et al., 2003)
The cdc35-1 allele confers a 75% extension of replicative life-span at 25°C (Lin et al., 2000).
