The impact of C. elegans ceramide glucosyltransferase enzymes on the beneficial effects of B. subtilis lifespan

Ceramide glucosyltransferase (CGT) adds sugar moieties to ceramide, forming glucosylceramides that play roles in immune signaling, stress response, and host-bacterial interactions. Here, we examined whether mutations in cgt block the beneficial effects of Bacillus subtilis on C. elegans lifespan. We...

Descripción
Sumario:Ceramide glucosyltransferase (CGT) adds sugar moieties to ceramide, forming glucosylceramides that play roles in immune signaling, stress response, and host-bacterial interactions. Here, we examined whether mutations in cgt block the beneficial effects of Bacillus subtilis on C. elegans lifespan. We found that loss of cgt-1 or cgt-3 reduces lifespan compared to wildtype worms, but did not prevent the lifespan-extending phenotype of B. subtilis . However, cgt-1(ok1045) and cgt-3(tm504) did play a minor role in blocking stress resistance of 5-day old worms treated with B. subtilis . Further studying CGTs may elucidate potential roles of glucosylceramides in host-bacterial interaction.
