Abstract

We find that C. elegans egl-30 encodes a heterotrimeric G protein a subunit more than 80% identical to mammalian Gqalpha family proteins, and which can function as a Gqalpha subunit in COS-7 cells. We have identified new egl-30 alleles in a selection for genes involved in the C. elegans acetylcholine response. Two egl-30 alleles specify premature termination of Gqalpha and are essentially lethal in homozygotes. Animals homozygous for six other egl-30 alleles are viable and fertile, but exhibit delayed egg laying and leave flattened tracks. Overexpression of the wild-type egl-30 gene produces the opposite behavior. Analysis of these mutants suggest that their phenotypes reflect defects in the muscle or neuromuscular junction.

摘要

我们发现,秀丽隐杆线虫的egl-30编码一种异源三聚体G蛋白α亚基,与哺乳动物Gqα家族蛋白的同源性超过80%,并且在COS-7细胞中可作为Gqα亚基发挥作用。我们在筛选参与秀丽隐杆线虫乙酰胆碱反应的基因时鉴定出了新的egl-30等位基因。两个egl-30等位基因导致Gqα提前终止,纯合子基本致死。其他六个egl-30等位基因的纯合动物可存活且可育,但产卵延迟且留下扁平的轨迹。野生型egl-30基因的过表达则产生相反的行为。对这些突变体的分析表明,它们的表型反映了肌肉或神经肌肉接头的缺陷。
