Autophagy and insulin/TOR signaling in Caenorhabditis elegans pcm-1 protein repair mutants.
Autophagy - 1 Jan 2000
Gomez Tara A, Clarke Steven G
Abstract excerpt
Biological responses due to nutrient deprivation in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, including L1 diapause and autophagy during dauer formation, can be mediated through the linked DAF-2/insulin/IGF receptor and target-of-rapamycin (TOR) kinase pathways. Here we discuss how altered insulin/TOR signaling may underlie the previously reported phenotypes of worms with a null mutation in the pcm-1 gene that results...
