Redirection of SKN-1 abates the negative metabolic outcomes of a perceived pathogen infection
14 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Early host responses toward pathogens are essential for defense against infection. In Caenorhabditis elegans , the transcription factor, SKN-1, regulates cellular defenses during xenobiotic intoxication and bacterial infection. However, constitutive activation of SKN-1 results in pleiotropic outcomes, including a redistribution of somatic lipids to the germline, which impairs health and shortens lifespan. Here,...
