Abstract excerpt
Expression of a constitutively activated version of the heterotrimeric G protein alpha-subunit Galphas results in the swelling and vacuolization of a specific subset of ventral nerve cord motoneurons of Caenorhabditis elegans. A second site modifier (sgs-1) that completely suppresses this neuronal degeneration has been isolated. sgs-1 was cloned and was shown to encode an adenylyl cyclase which is most similar to...
