Inactivating regulatory proteasomal function by RNAi-knockdown of the six predicted worm Cullins, CUL-1 to -6 , had distinct effects on the extended lifespan of daf-2(mu150) mutants. Some knockdowns suppressed lifespan extension (cul-1, cul-3), some had less significant effects (cul-4), and others had no effect at all (cul-5)
Double mutant cul-5(RNAi);daf-2(mu150) has a lifespan of 27.7 days, while single mutant daf-2(mu150) has a lifespan of 28.8 days, single mutant cul-5(RNAi) has a lifespan of 21.3 days and wild type has a lifespan of 18.6 days.

Cullin-5
Locus: CELE_ZK856.1
Wormbase description: cul-5 encodes a cullin, orthologous to vasopressin-activated calcium-mobilizing receptor-1 in mammals, that is thought to regulate the cell cycle by virtue of its paralogy to cul-1 and cul-2; however, CUL-5 is dispensable for viability and gross morphology in mass RNAi screens, and does not appear to interact with any of 17 Skp1-related proteins (SKR-1 through SKR-21).
Insulin-like receptor subunit beta;Receptor protein-tyrosine kinase;hypothetical protein
Locus: CELE_Y55D5A.5
Wormbase description: daf-2 encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase that is the C. elegans insulin/IGF receptor ortholog; DAF-2 activity is required for a number of processes in C. elegans, including embryonic and larval development, formation of the developmentally arrested dauer larval stage (diapause), larval developmental timing, adult longevity, reproduction, fat storage, salt chemotaxis learning, and stress resistance, including response to high temperature, oxidative stress, and bacterial infection; DAF-2 signals through a conserved PI 3-kinase pathway to negatively regulate the activity of DAF-16, a Forkhead-related transcription factor, by inducing its phosphorylation and nuclear exclusion; in addition, DAF-2 negatively regulates the nuclear localization, and hence transcriptional activity, of SKN-1 in intestinal nuclei; amongst the 38 predicted insulin-like molecules in C. elegans, genetic and microarray analyses suggest that at least DAF-28, INS-1, and INS-7 are likely DAF-2 ligands; genetic mosaic and tissue-specific promoter studies indicate that daf-2 can function cell nonautonomously and within multiple cell types to influence dauer formation and adult lifespan, likely by regulating the production of secondary endocrine signals that coordinate growth and longevity throughout the animal; temporal analysis of daf-2 function indicates that daf-2 regulates lifespan, reproduction, and diapause independently, at distinct times during the animal's life cycle.
