What's a GeneRIF?

In wild-type worms, overexpression of spr-4 suppresses excitation and extends lifespan. REST, SPR-3, SPR-4 and reduced excitation activate the longevity-associated transcription factors FOXO1 and DAF-16 in mammals and worms, respectively. These findings reveal a conserved mechanism of ageing that is mediated by neural circuit activity and regulated by REST.
Title: Regulation of lifespan by neural excitation and REST.
Data report the cloning and characterization of spr-3 and spr-4, which encode large basic zinc-finger proteins which act as transcriptional repressors for sel-12 [spr-3 and spr-4].
Title: Two suppressors of sel-12 encode C2H2 zinc-finger proteins that regulate presenilin transcription in Caenorhabditis elegans.
