5'-AMP-activated protein kinase catalytic subunit alpha-2


Locus: CELE_T01C8.1


Wormbase description: aak-2 encodes one of two C. elegans homologs of the catalytic alpha subunit of AMP-activated protein kinases (AMPKs); in C. elegans, aak-2 functions downstream of environmental stressors, energy level signals (AMP:ATP ratio), and daf-2-mediated insulin signaling to positively regulate adult lifespan; in regulating lifespan, aak-2 likely acts in parallel with daf-16/FOXO; aak-2 activity is also required for dauer formation in daf-2 mutant animals at high temperature in a manner independent of the AMP:ATP ratio; in the germline, aak-2 functions downstream of daf-2 and daf-7, and in parallel to par-4 and aak-1, to negatively regulate germline proliferation during dauer development; in vitro, AAK-2 exhibits AMP-enhanced kinase activity against a known AMPK substrate, the SAMS peptide.

Superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn]


Locus: CELE_C15F1.7


Wormbase description: sod-1 encodes the copper/zinc superoxide dismustase, an enzyme that is known to protect cells from oxidative damage; superoxide dismutase activity can be detected in worm extracts; sod-1 activity has been implicated in the increased life-span of dauer larvae where this enzyme demonstrates the highest activity compared to other life-stages as well as in the increased life span of age-1 mutants and their resistance to oxidative damage; sod-1 modulates the effect of let-60 ras on vulval and germline development via cytoplasmic reactive oxygen species; unlike other eukaryotic superoxide dismutases, sod-1 does not require the copper chaperone CCS for its activity and instead uses a glutathione pathway for acquiring copper; in humans, mutation of SOD1 (OMIM:147450) leads to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (OMIM:105400).
