Abstract excerpt
Cell-nonautonomous effects of signaling in the nervous system of animals can influence diverse aspects of organismal physiology. We previously showed that phosphorylation of Ser49 of the α-subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2α) in two chemosensory neurons by PEK-1/PERK promotes entry of Caenorhabditis elegans into dauer diapause. Here, we identified and characterized the molecular...
