Show abstract
Genetic manipulations of the Drosophila insulin/IGF signaling system slow aging, but it remains unknown how the insulin/IGF receptor acts to modulate lifespan or differentiate this control from that of growth, reproduction and metabolism. With homologous recombination we produced an allelic series of single amino acid substitutions in the fly insulin receptor (InR). Based on emerging biochemical and structural data, we map amino acid substitutions to receptor function to longevity and fecundity. We propose InR mutants generate bias in the process of asymmetric transphosphorylation when the receptor is activated. This induces specific kinase subdomains that modulate lifespan by additive processes, one involving survival costs of reproduction and the other involving reproduction-independent systems of longevity assurance. We identify a mutant in the kinase insert domain that robustly extends lifespan without affecting growth or reproduction, suggesting this element controls aging through unique mechanisms of longevity assurance.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
