Neurohormonal signaling via a sulfotransferase antagonizes insulin-like signaling to regulate a Caenorhabditis elegans stress response

Reduced insulin-like signaling is required for C. elegans response to many environmental stressors, but how distinct outcomes are achieved is unknown. The authors show that the cytosolic sulfotransferase SSU-1 controls neurohormonal signaling via NHR-1 to specify the animals’ osmotic stress response...
