Abstract

Recent studies describe a network of signaling proteins centered around G(o)alpha and G(q)alpha that regulates neurotransmitter secretion in C. elegans by controlling the production and consumption of diacylglycerol (DAG). We sought other components of the Goalpha-G(q)alpha signaling network by screening for aldicarb-resistant mutants with phenotypes similar to egl-30 (G(q)alpha) mutants. In so doing, we identified ric-8, which encodes a novel protein named RIC-8 (synembryn). Through cDNA analysis, we show that RIC-8 is conserved in vertebrates. Through immunostaining, we show that RIC-8 is concentrated in the cytoplasm of neurons. Exogenous application of phorbol esters or loss of DGK-1 (diacylglycerol kinase) rescues ric-8 mutant phenotypes. A genetic analysis suggests that RIC-8 functions upstream of, or in conjunction with, EGL-30 (G(q)alpha).

摘要

最近的研究描述了一个以G(o)α和G(q)α为中心的信号蛋白网络,该网络通过控制二酰基甘油(DAG)的产生和消耗来调节秀丽隐杆线虫中的神经递质分泌。我们通过筛选具有与egl-30(G(q)α)突变体相似表型的抗涕灭威突变体,寻找Goα-G(q)α信号网络的其他成分。在此过程中,我们鉴定出ric-8,它编码一种名为RIC-8(synembryn)的新型蛋白质。通过cDNA分析,我们表明RIC-8在脊椎动物中是保守的。通过免疫染色,我们表明RIC-8集中在神经元的细胞质中。佛波酯的外源应用或DGK-1(二酰基甘油激酶)的缺失可挽救ric-8突变体表型。遗传分析表明,RIC-8在EGL-30(G(q)α)的上游起作用或与之协同作用。
