Roles of the developmental regulator unc-62/Homothorax in limiting longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans. by Eric L Van Nostrand, Adolfo Sánchez-Blanco, Beijing Wu, Andy Nguyen, Stuart K Kim

“…First, unc-62 RNAi decreases the expression of yolk proteins (vitellogenins) that aggregate in the body cavity in old age. Second, unc-62 RNAi results in a broad increase in expression of intestinal genes that typically decrease expression with age, suggesting that unc-62 activity balances intestinal resource allocation between yolk protein expression and fertility on the one hand and somatic functions on the other. …”
