Transcriptional coactivator for crh-1, the homolog of vertebrate transcription factor CREB1 (PubMed:21331044). Regulates the transcription of metabolic genes and may have a role in mitochondrial dynamics and metabolism (PubMed:25723162). Through crh-1, counteracts the pro-lifespan-extension signals of AMPK both cell autonomously and, when expressed in neurons, at a systemic level, possibly using the catecholamine analog, octopamine, as a messenger (PubMed:21331044, PubMed:25723162). Interacts with crh-1. Localization is phosphorylation-dependent with the phosphorylated form translocating to the cytosol (PubMed:21331044). Cytosolic sequestration requires 14-3-3 proteins fft-1 and fft-2 (PubMed:21331044). Nuclear localization may in part depend on activity of the calcineurin subunit tax-6 and its regulator rcan-1 in response to changes in intracellular calcium levels (PubMed:26232604). Expressed throughout the intestine and in head and tail neurons (PubMed:21331044). Expressed in octopaminergic RIC neurons (PubMed:25723162). Phosphorylated by AMPK at Ser-76 and Ser-179. Dephosphorylated by tax-6, the catalytic subunit of calcineurin. RNAi-mediated knock-down results in increased lifespan. Belongs to the TORC family.
