Serine/threonine-protein kinase akt-2


Locus: CELE_F28H6.1


Wormbase description: akt-2 encodes a homolog of the serine/threonine kinase Akt/PKB, AKT-2, that is required for progression through the dauer stage of development and for the negative regulation of adult lifespan; inactivation of akt-2 causes animals to arrest constitutively at the dauer stage, while having an increased life span; widely expressed, AKT-2 is activated by the phospholipid products of phosphoinositide 3-kinase AGE-1/PI3K and by PDK-1, a homolog of vertebrate 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK-1) Normal akt-2 (and akt-1) activity is required for excess pdk-1 activity to suppress the dauer-arrest phenotype of age-1, indicating that the 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 homolog PDK-1 transduces signals from AGE-1 to AKT-2 (and AKT-1); conversely, the akt-2 loss-of-function phenotype is suppressed by daf-16 null mutations, indicating that the Fork head transcription factor DAF-16 is downstream of AKT-2 (and AKT-1), and that AKT-1 and AKT-2 act primarily to antagonize DAF-16.

TRPA cation channel homolog;Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily A member 1 homolog


Locus: CELE_C29E6.2


Wormbase description: trpa-1 encodes a transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel orthologous to the vertebrate and Drosophila TRPA1 channels; in C. elegans, trpa-1 activity is required for specific mechanosensory behaviors such as nose-touch avoidance and touch-mediated foraging; when expressed in mammalian cells, TRPA-1 exhibits channel activity in response to mechanical stimulation; TRPA-1::GFP reporters are expressed in a number of different cell types including sensory neurons, muscle, and epithelial cells.
