The steroid hormone dafachronic acid (DA) regulates dauer formation and lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans by binding to the nuclear receptor DAF-12. However, little is known about how DA concentrations change under various physiologic conditions and about how DA/DAF-12 signaling interacts with other signaling pathways that also regulate dauer formation and lifespan. Using a sensitive bioanalyt...
Decay-accelerating factor (DAF, CD55) is a GPI-anchored membrane protein that regulates complement activation on autologous cells. In addition to protecting host tissues from complement attack, DAF has been shown to inhibit CD4+ T cell immunity in the setting of model Ag immunization. However, whether DAF regulates natural T cell immune response during pathogenic infection is not known. We desc...
The Caenorhabditis elegans dauer larva is a facultative state of diapause. Mutations affecting dauer signal transduction and morphogenesis have been reported. Of these, most that result in constitutive formation of dauer larvae are temperature-sensitive (ts). The daf-31 mutant was isolated in genetic screens looking for novel and underrepresented classes of mutants that form dauer and dauer-lik...
In animals, RFX transcription factors govern ciliogenesis by binding to an X-box motif in the promoters of ciliogenic genes. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the sole RFX transcription factor (TF) daf-19 null mutant lacks all sensory cilia, fails to express many ciliogenic genes, and is defective in many sensory behaviors, including male mating. The daf-19c isoform is expressed in all ciliated sensor...
In Caenorhabditis elegans, reduction of insulin/IGF-1 like signaling and loss of germline stem cells both increase lifespan by activating the conserved transcription factor DAF-16 (FOXO). While the mechanisms that regulate DAF-16 nuclear localization in response to insulin/IGF-1 like signaling are well characterized, the molecular pathways that act in parallel to regulate DAF-16 transcriptional...
Decay-accelerating factor (DAF) is a constitutively expressed plasma membrane glycoprotein on blood cells and endothelium that inhibits cell surface C3/C5 convertase formation, thus inhibiting complement activation and protecting cells from lysis by the terminal complement components. Using monoclonal anti-DAF antibodies in conjunction with anti-smooth muscle cell (SMC)-specific myosin antibodi...
A complement regulatory protein, decay-accelerating factor (DAF, CD55), is known to protect host tissues from autologous complement activation. DAF is present on the apical side of human gastric epithelial cells, and its expression increases during gastritis. To develop an animal model for analysis of DAF expression on gastric cells, a mAb to guinea pig DAF was successfully used. Although DAF e...
An insulin-like signaling pathway affects both longevity and reproduction in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Mutations in daf-2 and age-1 cause a dramatic increase in longevity as well as developmental arrest at the dauer diapause stage in Caenorhabditis elegans. daf-2 and age-1 encode components of an insulin-like signaling pathway. Both daf-2 and age-1 act at a similar point in the genetic epistasis pathway for dauer arrest and longevity and regulate the activity of the daf-16 gene. Mutations in daf...
The PMK-1 p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and the DAF-2-DAF-16 insulin signaling pathway control Caenorhabditis elegans intestinal innate immunity. pmk-1 loss-of-function mutants have enhanced sensitivity to pathogens, while daf-2 loss-of-function mutants have enhanced resistance to pathogens that requires upregulation of the DAF-16 transcription factor. We used genetic analysis to...
The Caenorhabditis elegans daf-2/insulin-like signaling pathway is critical for regulating development, longevity, metabolism and stress resistance. We identified the 14-3-3 protein FTT-2 to be a new regulatory component of this pathway. We found that RNAi knock down of ftt-2 specifically enhanced the daf-2-mediated dauer formation phenotype. Furthermore, ftt-2 knock down caused the nuclear acc...
