HIF-1 modulates dietary restriction-mediated lifespan extension via IRE-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Dietary restriction (DR) extends lifespan in various species and also slows the onset of age-related diseases. Previous studies from flies and yeast have demonstrated that the target of rapamycin (TOR) pathway is essential for longevity phenotypes resulting from DR. TOR is a conserved protein kinase...
