Abstract excerpt
Host cell factor-1 (HCF-1) is a conserved regulator of the longevity and stress response functions of DAF-16/FOXO. SKN-1 transcription factor is an evolutionarily conserved xenobiotic stress regulator and a pro-longevity factor. Here, we demonstrate that SKN-1 contributes to the enhanced oxidative stress resistance incurred by hcf-1 mutation in C. elegans. HCF-1 prevents the nuclear accumulation of SKN-1 and...
