PG - 999-1009 LID - 10.1534/genetics.118.301533 [doi] AB - The widely conserved heat-shock response, regulated by heat-shock transcription factors, is not only essential for cellular stress resistance and adult longevity, but also for proper development. However, the genetic mechanisms by which heat-shock transcription factors regulate development are not well understood. In Caenorhabditis elegans, we conducted an unbiased genetic screen to identify mutations that could ameliorate the developmental-arrest phenotype of a heat-shock factor mutant. Here, we show that loss of the conserved translational activator rsks-1/S6 kinase, a downstream effector of mechanistic Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) kinase, can rescue the developmental-arrest phenotype of hsf-1 partial loss-of-function mutants. Unexpectedly, we show that the rescue is not likely caused by reduced translation, nor by activation of any of a variety of stress-protective genes and pathways. Our findings identify an as-yet unexplained regulatory relationship between the heat-shock transcription factor and the mTOR pathway during C. elegans development.
