Suggest mbk-1 as a novel regulator of C. elegans longevity upon both, germline ablation and DAF-2 inhibition, and provide evidence for mbk-1 regulating DAF-16 activity in germline-deficient animals.
Title: The protein kinase MBK-1 contributes to lifespan extension in <i>daf-2</i> mutant and germline-deficient <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>.
Five MMP alleles proved to be novel dauer-enhancing mutations, including one new allele in the previously uncharacterized C-terminus of DAF-2 CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing was used to confirm the phenotypic consequence of six of these DAF-2 mutations and to replicate an allelic series of known human disease mutations in a highly conserved tyrosine kinase active site residue
Title: Caenorhabditis elegans DAF-2 as a Model for Human Insulin Receptoropathies.
Cholesterol is required for the fasting-induced upregulation of transcriptional target genes such as the insulin/IGF-1 pathway effector DAF-16, and cholesterol deprivation suppresses the long lifespan of the insulin/IGF-1 receptor daf-2 mutant. Remarkably, we found that cholesterol plays an important role in the fasting-induced nuclear accumulation of DAF-16.
Title: Cholesterol regulates DAF-16 nuclear localization and fasting-induced longevity in C. elegans.
this study shows that heat shock increases the life span of wild type Caenorhabditis elegans upon pathogenic encounter; similar increase in resistance towards pathogenesis observed in long-lived C. elegans daf-2 mutants
Title: External induction of heat shock stimulates the immune response and longevity of Caenorhabditis elegans towards pathogen exposure.
this study shows that daf-2(-) mutants are hyper-immune and exhibit reduced pathological consequences during challenge with Coxiella burnetii
Title: Analysis of the Caenorhabditis elegans innate immune response to Coxiella burnetii.
Reduced signaling through the insulin-like receptor daf-2/InsR in the maternal soma causes constitutively large progeny, and its effector daf-16/FoxO is required for this effect. nhr-49/Hnf4, pha-4/FoxA, and skn-1/Nrf also regulate progeny-size plasticity. Genetic analysis suggests that insulin-like signaling controls progeny size in part through regulation of nhr-49/Hnf4, and that pha-4/FoxA and skn-1/Nrf function
Title: Maternal Diet and Insulin-Like Signaling Control Intergenerational Plasticity of Progeny Size and Starvation Resistance.
Results indicates a contribution of daf-2-mediated insulin signalling in the transition from local area search to dispersal in food-associated behaviour in adult C. elegans
Title: Context-dependent regulation of feeding behaviour by the insulin receptor, DAF-2, in Caenorhabditis elegans.
The long-lived mutant daf-2(m41) worms are metabolically youthful compared to wild-type worms, but this relative youth only appears in middle age.
Title: Metabolic Youth in Middle Age: Predicting Aging in Caenorhabditis elegans Using Metabolomics.
The method was validated with a lin-42 mutant strain that shows delayed development relative to wild-type animals and with a daf-2 mutant that shows an extended second larval stage

daf-2(e1370) mutation improves quality of life and lifespan extension.
