Abstract:Insulin/IGF signaling (IIS) regulates developmental and metabolic plasticity. Conditional regulation of insulin-like peptide expression and secretion promotes different phenotypes in different environments. However, IIS can also be regulated by other, less-understood mechanisms. For example, stability of the only known insulin/IGF receptor inC. elegans, DAF-2/INSR, is regulated by CHIP-dependent ubiquitination. Disruption ofchn-1/CHIPreduces longevity inC. elegansby increasing DAF-2/INSR abundance and IIS acti… Show more
