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.

Cytochrome P450 daf-9


Locus: CELE_T13C5.1


Wormbase description: daf-9 encodes a cytochrome P450 of the CYP2 subfamily that by homology is predicted to function as a steroidogenic or fatty acid hydroxylase; DAF-9 likely functions cell nonautonomously in hypodermal and neuronal cells to produce, for the DAF-12 nuclear receptor, a lipophilic hormone whose presence is necessary for bypassing entry into the alternative L3/dauer larval stage and promoting reproductive development; in regulating dauer formation, daf-9 acts downstream of the DAF-2/insulin/IGF receptor and the DAF-7/TGFbeta ligand, suggesting that at least two of the signaling pathways that control dauer formation converge, in part, upon daf-9; in addition, daf-9 activity is required for gonadal cell migration; a DAF-9::GFP fusion is expressed in the XXXL/R head cells at all developmental stages, in hypodermal cells from the L2 to L4 larval stages, and in the spermatheca of adult hermaphrodites.
