Abstract excerpt
Cells have evolved numerous mechanisms to circumvent stresses caused by the environment, and many of them are regulated by the AMP-activated kinase (AMPK). Unlike most organisms, C. elegans AMPK-null mutants are viable, but they die prematurely in the "long-lived" dauer stage due to exhaustion of triglyceride stores. Using a genome-wide RNAi approach, we demonstrate that the disruption of genes that increase...
