Abstract excerpt
C. elegans aex-3 mutations cause pleiotropic behavioral defects that are suggestive of reduced synaptic transmission. aex-3 mutations also show strong genetic interactions with mutations in unc-31 and unc-64, two other genes implicated in synaptic transmission. Physiological and pharmacological studies indicate that aex-3 defects are presynaptic. In aex-3 mutants, the synaptic vesicle-associated RAB-3 protein...
