Abstract:13 14 -2 -Mitochondrial prohibitins (PHB) are highly conserved proteins with a peculiar 15 effect on lifespan. While PHB depletion shortens lifespan of wild type animals, it 16 enhances longevity of a plethora of metabolically compromised mutants, 17 including target of rapamycin complex 2 (TORC2) mutants sgk-1 and rict-1. Here, 18 we show that sgk-1 mutants have impaired mitochondrial homeostasis, 19 lipogenesis, yolk formation and autophagy flux due to alterations in membrane 20 lipid and sterol homeostasis.… Show more
