Abstract excerpt
Regulators of G protein signaling (RGS proteins) inhibit heterotrimeric G protein signaling by activating G protein GTPase activity. Many mammalian RGS proteins are expressed in the brain and can act in vitro on the neural G protein G(o), but the biological purpose of this multiplicity of regulators is not clear. We have analyzed all 13 RGS genes in Caenorhabditis elegans and found that three of them influence...
