Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the cellular role of the heterotrimeric G protein G(o), we have taken a molecular genetic approach in Caenorhabditis elegans. We screened for suppressors of activated GOA-1 (G(o)alpha) that do not simply decrease its expression and found mutations in only two genes, sag-1 and eat-16. Animals defective in either gene display a hyperactive phenotype similar to that of goa-1 loss-of-function mutants....
