For example, a universal gene called SIR2 determines the life span of both yeast cells and roundworms.
In both organisms, if an extra copy of SIR2 is added by genetic intervention, the life span is extended.
Conversely, if the SIR2 gene is deleted, the life span is shortened.
The survival function that SIR2 exists to serve--forestalling aging and reproduction during famine--is adaptive and therefore pervasive in nature.
Does SIR2 also promote survival in mammals?
Interestingly, in cultured mouse or human cells, the mammalian SIR2 gene determines a cell's response to DNA damage.
The mammalian SIR2 gene modulates this process, and higher levels of it dampen the cell death response.
Just like in yeast and worms, mammalian SIR2 promotes survival, in this case of cultured cells.
So increasing SIR2 activity in mammals may actually cause cancer by keeping bad cells alive too long.
In yeast, where the process has been studied in molecular detail, the longevity triggered by calorie restriction is mediated by SIR2.
