The PP2A/4/6 subfamily of phosphoprotein phosphatases regulates DAF-16 during aging and confers resistance to environmental stress in postreproductive adult <i>C. elegans</i>
2020-02-18
Abstract excerpt
Insulin and insulin-like growth factors are longevity determinants that negatively regulate Forkhead box class O (FoxO) transcription factors. In C. elegans mutations that constitutively activate DAF-16, the ortholog of mammalian FoxO3a, extend lifespan by two-fold. While environmental insults induce DAF-16 activity in younger animals, it also becomes activated in an age-dependent manner in the absence of stress,...
