Psychiatry related information on gpa-2

  • Interactions between gpa-2, gpa-3 and other genes controlling dauer formation suggest that these G proteins may act in parallel to regulate the neuronal decision making that precedes dauer formation [1].
 

High impact information on gpa-2

  • We investigated a TA target site from the gpa-2 gene of C.elegans that was previously found to be preferred (hot) for Tc1 integration in vivo . This site with its immediate flanks was cloned into a plasmid, and remained hot in vitro , showing that sequences immediately adjacent to the TA dinucleotide determine this target choice [2].
  • Two G protein alpha subunit genes orthologous to gpa-2 and gpa-3 in Caenorhabditis elegans have been identified in the parasitic nematode, Strongyloides stercoralis [3].
