Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase age-1;hypothetical protein

Locus: CELE_B0334.8

Wormbase description: age-1 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) p110 catalytic subunit; AGE-1, supplied maternally and embryonically, is a central component of the C. elegans insulin-like signaling pathway, lying downstream of the DAF-2/insulin receptor and upstream of both the PDK-1 and AKT-1/AKT-2 kinases and the DAF-16 forkhead type transcription factor, whose negative regulation is the key output of the insulin signaling pathway; in accordance with its role in insulin signaling, AGE-1 activity is required for regulation of metabolism, life span, dauer formation, stress resistance, salt chemotaxis learning, fertility, and embryonic development; although the age-1 expression pattern has not yet been reported, ectopic expression studies indicate that pan-neuronal age-1 expression is sufficient to rescue life-span defects, while neuronal, intestinal, or muscle expression can partially rescue dauer formation, and neuronal or muscle expression can rescue metabolic defects.

hypothetical protein

Locus: CELE_ZC395.6

Wormbase description: gro-1 encodes two isoforms of the C. elegans isopentenylpyroptiosphate:tRNA transferase (IPT) ortholog; by homology, GRO-1 is predicted to function in modification of a subset of tRNAs; in C. elegans, a loss-of-function mutation in gro-1 results in delayed embryogenesis and postembryonic development, slower rates of adult behaviors, reduced brood size, and a genetic background-specific increase in adult life span; gro-1's effect on embryonic development exhibits a strict maternal effect; GRO-1::GFP fusion proteins are widely expressed and localize to the cytoplasm, nucleus, and mitochondria.
