Abstract
When unfolded proteins accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the unfolded protein response is activated. This ER stress response restores ER homeostasis by coordinating processes that decrease translation, degrade misfolded proteins, and increase the levels of ER-resident chaperones. Ribonuclease inositol-requiring protein-1 (IRE-1), an endoribonuclease that mediates unconventional splicing, and its target, the XBP-1 transcription factor, are key mediators of the unfolded protein response. In this study, we show that in Caenorhabditis elegans insulin/IGF-1 pathway mutants, IRE-1 and XBP-1 promote lifespan extension and enhance resistance to ER stress. We show that these effects are not achieved simply by increasing the level of spliced xbp-1 mRNA and expression of XBP-1's normal target genes. Instead, in insulin/IGF-1 pathway mutants, XBP-1 collaborates with DAF-16, a FOXO-transcription factor that is activated in these mutants, to enhance ER stress resistance and to activate new genes that promote longevity.

Activated in Blocked Unfolded protein response

Locus: CELE_T01D1.6

Wormbase description: abu-11 encodes a transmembrane protein with a predicted signal sequence, a glutamine/asparagine-rich domain and multiple cysteine-rich repeats (DUF139); abu-11 expression is induced by blockage of the unfolded-protein response in the endoplasmic reticulum, and ABU-11 may help protect the organism from damage by improperly folded nascent protein.

Insulin-like receptor subunit beta;Receptor protein-tyrosine kinase;hypothetical protein

Locus: CELE_Y55D5A.5

Wormbase description: daf-2 encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase that is the C. elegans insulin/IGF receptor ortholog; DAF-2 activity is required for a number of processes in C. elegans, including embryonic and larval development, formation of the developmentally arrested dauer larval stage (diapause), larval developmental timing, adult longevity, reproduction, fat storage, salt chemotaxis learning, and stress resistance, including response to high temperature, oxidative stress, and bacterial infection; DAF-2 signals through a conserved PI 3-kinase pathway to negatively regulate the activity of DAF-16, a Forkhead-related transcription factor, by inducing its phosphorylation and nuclear exclusion; in addition, DAF-2 negatively regulates the nuclear localization, and hence transcriptional activity, of SKN-1 in intestinal nuclei; amongst the 38 predicted insulin-like molecules in C. elegans, genetic and microarray analyses suggest that at least DAF-28, INS-1, and INS-7 are likely DAF-2 ligands; genetic mosaic and tissue-specific promoter studies indicate that daf-2 can function cell nonautonomously and within multiple cell types to influence dauer formation and adult lifespan, likely by regulating the production of secondary endocrine signals that coordinate growth and longevity throughout the animal; temporal analysis of daf-2 function indicates that daf-2 regulates lifespan, reproduction, and diapause independently, at distinct times during the animal's life cycle.
