Here we show that life span regulation by the Sir proteins is independent of their role in nonhomologous end joining. The short life span of a sir3 or sir4 mutant is due to the simultaneous expression of a and alpha mating type information, which indirectly causes an increase in rDNA recombination and likely increases the production of extrachromosomal rDNA circles. The short life span of a sir2 mutant also reveals a direct failure to repress recombination generated by the Fob1p mediated replication block in the rDNA. Sir2p is a limiting component in promoting yeast longevity, and increasing the gene dosage extends the life span in wild type cells. A possible role of the conserved SIR2 in mammalian aging is discussed. doi 10.1101 gad.13.19.2570 pmc 317077 ref Sir2 is the founding member of the Sirtuin family of enzymes.

Caloric restriction mimetics CRM try to mimic the substantial anti aging effects caloric restriction CR has on many laboratory animals. In other words, the administration of a CRM results in the same physiological changes seen in CR itself. One way CRM work is by influencing specific genes that ultimately affect either cell repair or cell death. A number of genes and pathways have also been shown to regulate the actions of CR in model organisms and these represent attractive targets for drug discovery and for developing CRM. ref Cite journal author de Magalhaes JP, Wuttke D, Wood SH, Plank M, Vora C title Genome environment interactions that modulate aging powerful targets for drug discovery journal Pharmacol Rev volume 64 issue 1 pages 88 101 year 2012 pmid 22090473 ref Candidate compounds include Resveratrol is found in red wine and grape s Citation needed date December 2007 . Many supplement companies market inexpensive concentrates. Resveratrol is a natural phenol ic plant chemical with proven beneficial cardiovascular effects. What is more, resveratrol is a potent CRM. In yeast, it stimulates Sir2, increasing DNA stability and extending life span by 70 . It is believed that it works the same way in humans, i.e., by activating the human homologue SIRT1, which results in reduced apoptosis in the liver, blood, and skin, as well as reduced risk of age related chronic disease. Research shows that resveratrol possesses an anticancer activity that is mediated through p53 modulation. A derivative of resveratrol can also block cells from dividing, without involving p53, thus safeguarding against unauthorised cell replication that may result in cancer.
