Interaction_summaryIn sir-2.1-overexpressing strains, the GFP signal was much stronger than in the wild-type, indicating that transcription from the sod-3 promoter was upregulated.

RemarkA loss-of-function mutation in daf-16 eliminated this upregulation of sod-3, suggesting that it results from the activation of DAF-16 by the elevated levels of SIR-2.1. The upregulation of sod-3 by the sir-2.1-overexpressing transgene was abolished by deletion of ftt-2 as well. Thus, overexpression of SIR-2.1 appears to promote DAF-16 transcriptional activity and requires 14-3-3 to do so.
