Abstract
Preventing germline stem cell proliferation extends lifespan in nematodes and flies. So far, studies on germline-longevity signaling have focused on daf-16/FOXO and daf-12/VDR. Here, we report on NHR-80/HNF4, a nuclear receptor that specifically mediates longevity induced by depletion of the germ line through a mechanism that implicates fatty acid monodesaturation.

Abstract
Dietary restriction (DR) increases healthspan and longevity in many species, including primates, but it is often accompanied by impaired reproductive function. Whether signals associated with the reproductive system contribute to or are required for DR effects on lifespan has not been established. Here we show that expression of the cytochrome P450 DAF-9/CYP450 and production of the steroid hormone Δ(7)-dafachronic acid (DA) are increased in C. elegans subjected to DR. DA signalling through the non-canonical nuclear hormone receptor NHR-8/NHR and the nutrient-responsive kinase let-363/mTOR is essential for DR-mediated longevity. Steroid signalling also affects germline plasticity in response to nutrient deprivation and this is required to achieve lifespan extension. These data demonstrate that steroid signalling links germline physiology to lifespan when nutrients are limited, and establish a central role for let-363/mTOR in integrating signals derived from nutrients and steroid hormones.

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.

Protein glp-1

Locus: CELE_F02A9.6

Wormbase description: glp-1 encodes an N-glycosylated transmembrane protein that, along with LIN-12, comprises one of two C. elegans members of the LIN-12/Notch family of receptors; from the N- to the C-terminus, GLP-1 is characterized by ten extracellular EGF-like repeats, three LIN-12/Notch repeats, a CC-linker, a transmembrane domain, a RAM domain, six intracellular ankyrin repeats, and a PEST sequence; in C. elegans, GLP-1 activity is required for cell fate specification in germline and somatic tissues; in the germline, GLP-1, acting as a receptor for the DSL family ligand LAG-2, is essential for mitotic proliferation of germ cells and maintenance of germline stem cells; in somatic tissues, maternally provided GLP-1, acting as a receptor for the DSL family ligand APX-1, is required for inductive interactions that specify the fates of certain embryonic blastomeres; GLP-1 is also required for some later embryonic cell fate decisions, and in these decisions its activity is functionally redundant with that of LIN-12; GLP-1 expression is regulated temporally and spatially via translational control, as GLP-1 mRNA, present ubiquitously in the germline and embryo, yields detectable protein solely in lateral, interior, and endomembranes of distal, mitotic germ cells, and then predominantly in the AB blastomere and its descendants in the early embryo; proper spatial translation of glp-1 mRNA in the embryo is dependent upon genes such as the par genes, that are required for normal anterior-posterior asymmetry in the early embryo; signaling through GLP-1 controls the activity of the downstream Notch pathway components LAG-3 and LAG-1, the latter being predicted to function as part of a transcriptional feedback mechanism that positively regulates GLP-1 expression; signaling through the DNA-binding protein LAG-1 is believed to involve a direct interaction between LAG-1 and the GLP-1 RAM and ankyrin domains
