Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the clk-1 gene of Caenorhabditis elegans result in an extended life span and an average slowing down of developmental and behavioral rates. However, it has not been possible to identify biochemical changes that might underlie the extension of life span observed in clk-1 mutants, and therefore the function of CLK-1 in C. elegans remains unknown. In this report, we analyzed the effect of clk-1 mutation...
