The Integrator is a metazoan-conserved protein complex with endonuclease activity that functions to cleave various RNA substrates to shape transcriptome homeostasis by coordinating small nuclear RNA biogenesis to premature transcription termination. Depletion of Integrator results in developmental defects across different model systems and has emerged as a causative factor in human neurodevelopmental syndromes. Here, we use the model system Caenorhabditis elegans to enable studying the temporal effects of Integrator depletion on various physiological parameters with the auxin-inducible degron system that permitted depletion of INTS-4 (Integrator subunit) catalytic subunit of the protein complex. We found that Integrator activity is critical and required for C. elegans development within the L1 larval stage, but becomes dispensable for development and lifespan after the animals have reached the L2/L3 stage. Depletion of INTS-4 only shortened lifespan if auxin was introduced at the L1 stage, suggesting that the previously described lifespan reduction by Integrator inhibition is linked to developmental growth defects. We also found that while germline-specific degradation of Integrator results in the accumulation of misprocessed snRNA transcript, it did not impair the development or lifespan but surprisingly increased progeny production. Together, our study illustrates a temporal, and a potential tissue-specific requirement of the Integrator complex function in shaping whole organism development, aging, and reproduction.
