Genetic mutants with akt-1, akt-2, ets-4 alterations

    Names of genes are ordered alphabetically. For the order of interventions, please see the specific paper.
  • Temperature °C

    25

  • Diet

    OP50

  • Lifespan (days)

    24.6

  • Phenotype

    RNAi against the kinases akt-1/akt-2 further extended the life span of the long-lived ets-4(ok165) worms.

  • Lifespan comparisons

    Triple mutant akt-1(RNAi);akt-2(RNAi);ets-4(ok165) has a lifespan of 24.6 days, while double mutant akt-1(RNAi);akt-2(RNAi) has a lifespan of 20.4 days.

Serine/threonine-protein kinase akt-1


Locus: CELE_C12D8.10


Wormbase description: akt-1 encodes an ortholog of the serine/threonine kinase Akt/PKB; akt-1 genetically interacts with the insulin signaling pathway and functions to regulate such processes as dauer larval development and salt chemotaxis learning; AKT-1 binds calmodulin in vitro in a calcium-dependent manner; an AKT-1::GFP fusion protein is widely expressed beginning in late stage embryos and continuing through adulthood; expression is seen in head, tail, and dorsal and ventral cord neurons, with additional expression seen in other cells including those of the pharynx, hypodermis, intestine, and spermatheca; two alleles of akt-1 (sa573 and sa700) have a Daf-c mutant phenotype at 27 degrees C (Hid phenotype).

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.
