Abstract
The TOR kinase, which is present in the functionally distinct complexes TORC1 and TORC2, is essential for growth but associated with disease and aging. Elucidation of how TOR influences life span will identify mechanisms of fundamental importance in aging and TOR functions. Here we show that when TORC1 is inhibited genetically in C. elegans, SKN-1/Nrf, and DAF-16/FoxO activate protective genes, and increase stress resistance and longevity. SKN-1 also upregulates TORC1 pathway gene expression in a feedback loop. Rapamycin triggers a similar protective response in C. elegans and mice, but increases worm life span dependent upon SKN-1 and not DAF-16, apparently by interfering with TORC2 along with TORC1. TORC1, TORC2, and insulin/IGF-1-like signaling regulate SKN-1 activity through different mechanisms. We conclude that modulation of SKN-1/Nrf and DAF-16/FoxO may be generally important in the effects of TOR signaling in vivo and that these transcription factors mediate an opposing relationship between growth signals and longevity.

human KRIT 1 (Krev interaction trapped/cerebral cavernous malformation 1) homolog

Locus: CELE_ZK265.1

Wormbase description: kri-1 encodes an ankyrin repeat and FERM domain-containing protein orthologous to human KRIT1 (Krev interaction trapped/cerebral cavernous malformation 1, OMIM:604214); kri-1 was identified in RNAi screens for genes required for DAF-16-dependent lifespan extension in germline-depleted animals; subsequent analysis of kri-1 mutations suggests that KRI-1 is required for proper localization of DAF-16 in the intestine in response to germline loss; a rescuing KRI-1::GFP construct is expressed in larval and adult stages in pharyngeal and intestinal cells; the KRI-1::GFP is generally diffuse, but also localizes to apical and apicolateral cell surfaces as well as to intestinal nuclei in some animals.
