In a remarkably conserved insulin signaling pathway that is well-known for its regulation of longevity in worms, flies, and mammals, the major C. elegans effector of this pathway, DAF-16/FOXO, also modulates many other physiological processes. This raises the question of how DAF-16/FOXO chooses the correct targets to achieve the appropriate response in a particular context. Here, we review current knowledge of tissue-specificity and interacting partners that modulate DAF-16/FOXO functional output.
在一个高度保守的胰岛素信号通路中,该通路以其对蠕虫、苍蝇和哺乳动物寿命的调节而闻名,该通路的主要秀丽隐杆线虫效应物 DAF-16/FOXO 也调节许多其他生理过程。这就提出了一个问题,即 DAF-16/FOXO 如何选择正确的靶标,以在特定环境中实现适当的反应。在这里,我们回顾了组织特异性和调节 DAF-16/FOXO 功能输出的相互作用伙伴的现有知识。
