Abstract

Acetylcholine is the major excitatory neurotransmitter at nematode neuromuscular junctions, and more than a third of the cells in the C. elegans nervous system release acetylcholine. Through a combination of forward genetics, drug-resistance selections, and genomic analysis, mutants have been identified for all of the steps specifically required for cholinergic function. These include two enzymes, two transporters, and a bewildering assortment of receptors. Cholinergic transmission is involved, directly or indirectly, in many C. elegans behaviors, including locomotion, egg laying, feeding, and male mating.

乙酰胆碱。
乙酰胆碱是线虫神经肌肉连接处的主要兴奋性神经递质,线虫神经系统中超过三分之一的细胞释放乙酰胆碱。通过正向遗传学、耐药性选择和基因组分析的结合,已经确定了胆碱能功能所需的所有具体步骤的突变体。它们包括两种酶,两种转运体和一种令人眼花缭乱的受体。胆碱能传递直接或间接地参与秀丽隐杆线虫的许多行为,包括运动、产卵、摄食和雄性交配。
