TL;DR

It is shown that the neuronal expression of the chromatin reader BET-1 promotes longevity and resilience in C. elegans through signaling mechanisms involving master transcription factors HSF-1 and DAF-16 and neurotransmitter UNC-13.

Abstract

In this study, Dutta et al. show that the neuronal expression of the chromatin reader BET-1 promotes longevity and resilience in C. elegans. Neuronal BET-1 activates various prolongevity transcriptional programs—including proteostasis, immune response to pathogens, and metabolism—through signaling mechanisms involving master transcription factors HSF-1 and DAF-16 and neurotransmitter UNC-13.

Dual regulation of the unfolded protein response by IGF2BP3 during ER stress

It is demonstrated that the highly conserved RNA-binding protein IGF2BP3 interacts with transcripts encoding a subset of UPR effectors, thus forming gene regulatory networks that robustly tune the UPR.

Inhibition of leucine‐rich kinase 2 (LRRK2) promotes peripheral axon regeneration via phosphorylation‐network remodelling

In contrast to neurons in the central nervous system, neurons in the peripheral nervous system can regenerate axons after injury via activation of a pro‐regenerative transcriptional programme. Pathogenic mutations in leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most common genetic cause of Parkinson's disease, and seve...

Allosteric rewiring of mitochondrial stress signaling through Miro1.

It is demonstrated that allosteric modulation of the mitochondrial protein Miro1 can selectively reprogram mitochondrial stress signaling and can produce distinct responses in disease-relevant cell types, despite acting within a broadly conserved stress pathway.

The miRNA Argonaute protein, ALG-2, maintains neurobehaviors in adult C. elegans

microRNAs (miRNAs) are short, non-coding RNAs essential for gene regulation in many different processes, including neuronal development. However, the role of the miRNA pathway in maintaining neuronal health throughout aging is less understood. Here, we ask how the miRNA pathway in adulthood impacts neurobehaviors in C....
