Abstract Elucidating crucial driver genes is paramount for understanding the cancer origins and mechanisms of progression, as well as selecting targets for molecular therapy. Cancer genes are usually ranked by the frequency of mutation, which, however, does not necessarily reflect their driver strength. Here we hypothesize that driver strength is higher for genes that are preferentially mutated in patients with few driver mutations overall, because these few mutations should be strong enough to initiate cancer.

    GENETIC ANALYSES OF SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION PATHWAYS INVOLVED IN NEUROMUSCULAR EXCITABILITY AND NEURODEGENERATION IN CAENORHABTIDIS ELEGANS by BWARENABA KAUTU GUY A. CALDWELL, COMMITTEE CHAIR KIM A. CALDWELL JANIS M. O’DONNELL STEVAN MARCUS KATRINA RAMONELL ANDREW WEST A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Biological Sciences in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2012 Copyright Bwarenaba Kautu 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Signal transduction pathways regulate many cellular and molecular aspects of the brain including neurotransmission and cell survival. Defects in neuronal signaling can lead to a variety of cognitive and affective disorders such as epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease. Here, I use a genetically tractable organism, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), as a model system to study the impact of two canonical signaling pathways on neuronal activity and survival. Using molecular and genetic tools, pharmacological assays, and microscopy techniques, I showed that the canonical Rac GTPase pathway regulates neuronal synchrony in the GABAergic neurons of C. elegans. In our experiments we observed that Rac GTPase mutants exhibited behavioral responses to a GABAA receptor antagonist, pentylenetetrazole. These mutants also exhibited hypersensitivities to an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, aldicarb, suggesting deficiencies in GABA transmission. Knockdown of selected cytoskeletal genes in Rac hypomorph mutants revealed synergistic interactions, particularly between the dynein motor complex and some members of the canonical Rac-signaling pathway. Examination of the nerve cords of C. elegans revealed that these genetic factors function to regulate vesicle transport in the GABAergic neurons of C. elegans. In my second project, I characterized the role of the heterotrimeric G protein Gαq in the context of neuronal survival, using a C.

[email protected] 2Department of Biology, New York University, 100 Washington Square E., New York, NY10003, USA. [email protected] Abstract The new gonochoristic member of the Caenorhabditis Elegans group, C. brenneri sp. n., is described. This species is reproductively isolated at the postmating level from its sibling species, C. remanei. Between these species, only minute morphological differences are found, but there are substantial genetic differences. The stem species pattern of the Ele- gans group is reconstructed. C. brenneri sp. n. deviates from this character pattern only in small diagnostic characters. In mating tests of C. brenneri sp. n. females with C. remanei males, fertilization takes place and juveniles occasionally hatch. In the reverse combination, no offspring were observed. Individuals from widely separated populations of each species can be crossed successfully (e.g. C. brenneri sp. n. populations from Guadeloupe and Sumatra, or C. remanei populations from Japan and Germany). Both species have been isolated only from anthropogenic habitats, rich in decom- posing organic material. C. brenneri sp. n. is distributed circumtropically, C. remanei is only found in northern temperate regions. To date, no overlap of the ranges was found.
