  • INCREASING LIFESPAN BY MODULATION OF WWP-1 AND UBC-18
    Publication number: 20120148565
    Abstract: Ubiquitin ligase wwp-1 and ubiquitin conjugating enzyme ubc-18 are identified in nematodes as mediators of dietary restriction induced longevity and therefore as targets for modulation of lifespan in animals. Methods of screening for compounds that modulate longevity by assaying wwp-1 ubiquitination pathway parameters are provided, as are related systems. In addition, methods of using wwp-1 and/or ubc-18 to modulate longevity or delay onset of age-related diseases are described.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 23, 2011
    Publication date: June 14, 2012
    Applicant: The Salk Institute for Biological Studies
    Inventors: Andrea C. CARRANO, Andrew DILLIN, Tony HUNTER
