Extended longevity of <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> by knocking in extra copies of hsp70F, a homolog of mot‐2 (mortalin)/mthsp70/Grp75

Abstract excerpt
The Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of mortalin/mthsp70/Grp75 (called mot-2 hereafter) was isolated by screening of a nematode cDNA library with mouse mot-2 cDNA. The isolated clone matched to hsp70F of C. elegans. Analysis with two of the antibodies raised against hsp70F revealed that unlike mammalian mot-2, it is heat inducible. Transient induction of hsp70F by heat shock led to a slight (<13%) extension in the...
