5'-AMP-activated protein kinase catalytic subunit alpha-2


Locus: CELE_T01C8.1


Wormbase description: aak-2 encodes one of two C. elegans homologs of the catalytic alpha subunit of AMP-activated protein kinases (AMPKs); in C. elegans, aak-2 functions downstream of environmental stressors, energy level signals (AMP:ATP ratio), and daf-2-mediated insulin signaling to positively regulate adult lifespan; in regulating lifespan, aak-2 likely acts in parallel with daf-16/FOXO; aak-2 activity is also required for dauer formation in daf-2 mutant animals at high temperature in a manner independent of the AMP:ATP ratio; in the germline, aak-2 functions downstream of daf-2 and daf-7, and in parallel to par-4 and aak-1, to negatively regulate germline proliferation during dauer development; in vitro, AAK-2 exhibits AMP-enhanced kinase activity against a known AMPK substrate, the SAMS peptide.

Fatty Acid SyNthase


Locus: CELE_F32H2.5


Wormbase description: fasn-1 encodes a fatty acid synthase, orthologous to human FASN (OMIM:600212); CEP-1 is required for fully normal fasn-1 expression in vivo; CEP-1 drives transcription of luciferase reporters whose promoters contains either of two putative CEP-1 binding sites (FAS-T1 and FAS-T2) found in the fasn-1 gene, and this activity is partially lost by mutation of conserved CEP-1 residues (R298 or H310); in humans, the CEP-1 ortholog isoforms TAp73alpha and deltaNp63alpha bind the human FASN gene, suggesting that FASN genes might be a conserved direct target of p53-like proteins in metazoa; fasn-1 transcription is moderately activated (2 to 4-fold) in L1 or L2 larvae starved for 12 hours, but is not so activated in later larvae or adults.
