Abstract excerpt
Genetic determinants of longevity include the forkhead-related transcription factor DAF-16 in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans and the p66shc locus in mice. We demonstrate that p66shc regulates intracellular oxidant levels in mammalian cells and that hydrogen peroxide can negatively regulate forkhead activity. In p66shc-/- cells, the activity of the mammalian forkhead homolog FKHRL1 is increased and...
