FoxO (forkhead box O; forkhead members of the O class) are transcription factors that function under the control of insulin/insulin-like signalling. FoxO factors have been associated with a multitude of biological processes, including cell-cycle, cell death, DNA repair, metabolism and protection from oxidative stress. Central to the regulation of FoxO factors is a shuttling system, which confines FoxO factors to either the nucleus or the cytosol. Shuttling of FoxO requires protein…

FoxO transcription factors in oxidative stress response and ageing – a new fork on the way to longevity?
TLDR
A brief review focuses on the molecular mechanisms, cellular effects and resulting organismal phenotypes generated by differentially regulated FoxO proteins and discusses the current understanding of the role of FoxOs in disease and ageing processes.
Dynamic FoxO transcription factors
TLDR
The potent functions of FoxO proteins are tightly controlled by complex signaling pathways under physiological conditions; dysregulation of these proteins may ultimately lead to disease such as cancer.
Structure/function relationships underlying regulation of FOXO transcription factors
TLDR
This review focuses on recent advances in structural studies of forkhead transcription factors and the insights they provide into the mechanism of DNA recognition and the nuclear localization signal of FOXO proteins.
Regulation of FoxO activity by CBP/p300-mediated acetylation.
FoxO6 transcriptional activity is regulated by Thr26 and Ser184, independent of nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling.
TLDR
FoxO6 transcriptional activity is inhibited by growth factors, independent of shuttling, indicating that it is not a constitutively active transcription factor and can be regulated by growth forces in a Thr26- and Ser184-dependent manner.
Nuclear/cytoplasmic shuttling of the transcription factor FoxO1 is regulated by neurotrophic factors
TLDR
Findings demonstrate that neurotrophic factors are able to regulate nuclear/cytoplasmic shuttling of FoxO1 via the PI3K/Akt pathway in neuronal cells.
The role of Forkhead-box Class O (FoxO) transcription factors in cancer: a target for the management of cancer.
Novel insights into FOXOlogy: FOXOs and their putative role in thyroid carcinogenesis
TLDR
The potential role of the PI3K/Akt/FOXO3 axis for a targeted drug therapy of advanced thyroid carcinoma is discussed and the principles of FOXO function and regulation are explained.
FOXO transcription factors: key regulators of cell fate.
TLDR
The current understanding of the regulation and role of FOXO transcription factors in determining cell fate is discussed and their relevance to tumorigenesis and drug resistance is highlighted.
Nuclear forkhead box O1 controls and integrates key signaling pathways in hepatocytes.
TLDR
It is proposed thatFoxo1 turns on a feed-forward loop, relayed by p38 and acting to amplify both PKB activation and Foxo1 inhibition, which means key signaling pathways are activated in hepatocytes through nuclear Foxo 1.

Nutritional and hormonal factors control the gene expression of FoxOs, the mammalian homologues of DAF-16.
TLDR
Results show that the FoxO genes respond differently to nutritional and hormonal factors, suggesting a new mechanism for the regulation of FoxO-dependent gene expression by these factors.
Insulin inhibition of transcription stimulated by the forkhead protein Foxo1 is not solely due to nuclear exclusion.
TLDR
It is concluded that insulin can inhibit Foxo 1-stimulated transcription even when nuclear export of Foxo1 is prevented, indicating that insulin inhibition can occur by direct mechanisms that do not depend on altering the subcellular distribution of the transcription factor.
FoxO6, a Novel Member of the FoxO Class of Transcription Factors with Distinct Shuttling Dynamics*
TLDR
The cloning and characterization of a novel forkhead domain gene from mouse that appeared to be highly related to the FoxO group of transcription factors and was therefore designated FoxO6 is described, giving a new view on regulation of FoxO-function through multiple phosphorylation events and other mechanisms involved in the nuclear exclusion ofFoxO-proteins.
Stress-Dependent Regulation of FOXO Transcription Factors by the SIRT1 Deacetylase
TLDR
One way in which members of the Sir2 family of proteins may increase organismal longevity is by tipping FOXO-dependent responses away from apoptosis and toward stress resistance.

TLDR
Findings indicate that in mammals FOXO3a regulates the resistance of cells to stress by inducing DNA repair and thereby may also affect organismal life-span.

TLDR
It is demonstrated that multiple elements contribute to nuclear/cytoplasmic shuttling of FOXO1, and that phosphorylation and 14-3-3 binding regulate the cellular distribution and function ofFOXO1 through multiple mechanisms.
