The TWK-26/KCNK3 potassium channel and FLR-4 protein kinase coordinate nutrient absorption in the C. elegans intestine

Sarah K. Torzone, Trae Carroll, Peter C. Breen…·Robert H. Dowen

This study shows that the TWK-26/KCNK3 potassium channel and FLR-4 protein kinase work together in C. elegans to regulate nutrient absorption and metabolic homeostasis.

Follicle stimulating hormone signaling opposes the DRL-1/FLR-4 MAP Kinases to balance p38-mediated growth and lipid homeostasis in C. elegans

Sarah K. Torzone, Aaron Y. Park, Peter C. Breen…·Robert H. Dowen

The paper identifies a signaling network in C. elegans where DRL-1/FLR-4 MAP Kinases and opposing FLR-2/FSHR-1 signaling regulate growth and lipid homeostasis via p38/PMK-1 and PHA-4/FOXA.
