Genetic mutants with alg-2, daf-2 alterations

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

    25

  • Lifespan (days)

    19.0

  • Lifespan change (compared to wild type)

    29.25%

  • Phenotype

    Forty-one gene inactivations functioned specifically within the daf-2 pathway to shorten life span, not decreasing the life span of daf-2;daf-16 animals

  • Lifespan comparisons

    Double mutant alg-2(RNAi);daf-2(e1370) has a lifespan of 19 days, while single mutant daf-2(e1370) has a lifespan of 36.7 days, single mutant alg-2(RNAi) has a lifespan of 11.1 days and wild type has a lifespan of 14.7 days.

Protein argonaute


Locus: CELE_T07D3.7


Wormbase description: alg-2 encodes a PAZ and PIWI-domain containing protein that is a member of the highly conserved eukaryotic RDE-1/AGO1/PIWI family of proteins that regulate posttranscriptional gene silencing (PTGS); ALG-2 functions with ALG-1 to control specific developmental timing events by positively regulating expression of small temporal RNAs (stRNAs) encoded by lin-4 and let-7; ALG-2 and ALG-1 are also required for RNAi in the germ line, although they are not required for RNAi in the soma; ALG-2 is expressed in nearly all cells from embryogenesis through adulthood and localizes to the cytoplasm.

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.
