Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
RNAi decreased lifespan of daf-2 mutant, but not of WT or glp-1 mutant. The CUL-1 complex functions in postmitotic, adult somatic tissues of insulin/insulin-like growth factor-1-signalling mutants to enhance longevity. It may act, at least in part, by promoting the transcriptional activity of DAF-16/FOXO.
Lifespan Effect
Decrease
Genetic Manipulation
RNA interference
