Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiondaf-16 encodes the sole C. elegans forkhead box O (FOXO) homologue; DAF-16 functions as a transcription factor that acts in the insulin/IGF-1-mediated signaling (IIS) pathway that regulates dauer formation, longevity, fat metabolism, stress response, and innate immunity; DAF-16 regulates these various processes through isoform-specific expression, isoform-specific regulation by different AKT kinases, and differential regulation of target genes; DAF-16 can interact with the CBP-1 transcription cofactor in vitro, and interacts genetically with other genes in the insulin signaling and with daf-12, which encodes a nuclear hormone receptor; DAF-16 is activated in response to DNA damage during development and co-regulated by EGL-27, alleviates DNA-damage-induced developmental arrest by inducing DAF-16-associated element (DAE)-regulated genes; DAF-16 is broadly expressed but displays isoform-specific tissue enrichment; DAF-16 localizes to both the cytoplasm and the nucleus, with the ratio between the two an important regulator of function.Paper_evidence (15)

Automated_descriptionEnables several functions, including 14-3-3 protein binding activity; beta-catenin binding activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; regulation of dauer larval development; and regulation of gene expression. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including germ cell; gonad; hypodermis; neurons; and somatic cell. Used to study Parkinson's disease and diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma; reproductive organ cancer (multiple); and rheumatoid arthritis. Is an ortholog of human FOXO4 (forkhead box O4).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceParkinson''s disease (PD) is an age-dependent neurodegenerative disease characterized by the accumulation of alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) and the selective loss of dopamine (DA) neurons; studies in C. elegans models of alpha-syn proteotoxcity indicate that reduced IGF-1/insulin-like signaling (IIS) suppresses alpha-syn toxicity and DA neurodegeneration; specifically daf-2 mutant worms that overexpress human alpha-syn retain more wild-type DA neurons when compared to alpha-syn worms alone; mutants of daf-16/FOXO, a well-characterized downstream component of the IIS pathway enhanced neurodegeneration, and an intermediate level of neuroprotection was seen in daf-2; daf-16 double mutants overexpressing alpha-syn-GFP in DA neurons; further, RNA interference of glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (gpi-1/GPI), the glycolytic enzyme, enhanced alpha-syn-induced DA neurotoxicity, while it''s overexpression in DA neurons was neuroprotective; further studies in Drosophila and mice confirm that GPI is neuroprotective; these studies indicate that IIS signaling modulates alpha-syn induced DA neurodegeneration, across species.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00045313

In glucose-fed wild-type animals, the exponential like decline was restored in the active state, indicating that insulin signaling may be involved in regulation of fractal scaling of C. elegans behavior.Homo sapiensCurator_confirmedWBPerson324
