A phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase family member regulating longevity and diapause in Caenorhabditis elegans.

A pheromone-induced neurosecretory pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans triggers developmental arrest and an increase in longevity at the dauer diapause stage. The gene age-1 is required for non-dauer development and normal senescence. age-1 encodes a homologue of mammalian phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI(3)K) catalytic subunits. Lack of both maternal and zygotic age-1 activity causes dauer formation, whereas animals with maternal but not zygotic age-1 activity develop as non-dauers that live more than twice as long as normal. These data suggest that phosphatidylinositol signalling mediated by AGE-1 protein controls lifespan and the dauer diapause decision.[1]
