WormMine: Gene WBGene00000039

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00000039
• Gene Name: acn-1
• Sequence Name: C42D8.5
• Brief Description: acn-1 encodes an ACE-like protein required for larval development and adult morphogenesis, and probably for cell fusion in larval seam cells; ACN-1 lacks not only the HExxH consensus metallopeptidase motif, but also other active site residues found in the sequence HEAI/VxD of mammalian and insect ACEs; acn-1 is expressed in hypodermal cells, vulval precursor cells, and ray papillae in the male tail; the hypodermal expression of acn-1 appears to be controlled by nhr-23 and nhr-25.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable metallopeptidase activity. Involved in ecdysis, collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle and nematode male tail tip morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within with a negative effect on plasma membrane fusion. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Expressed in excretory gland cell; hypodermis; vulva; and in male. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human ACE2 (angiotensin converting enzyme 2).

7 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr2009163
• Pattern: Single cell embryonic expression. Only cell types with an expression fraction of greater 0.2 of the maximum expressed fraction are labeled (Full data can be downloaded from http://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/packer2019/). The colors represent the broad cell class to which the cell type has been assigned. The size of the point is proportional to the log2 of the numbers of cells in the dataset of that cell type. Interactive visualizations are available as a web app (https://cello.shinyapps.io/celegans/) and can also be installed as an R package (https://github.com/qinzhu/VisCello.celegans).

• Primary Identifier: Expr1030019
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr3694
• Pattern: Fluorescence was observed in epithelial cells that synthesize cuticle. Expressed in the hypodermis, including the major body syncytium, hyp7, and hypodermal cells in the head and tail. Also expressed in the lateral seam cells. A pulse of fluorescence was observed in the hypodermis prior to molting. Expression of acn-1p::gfp-pest also cycled in phase with all four molts. acn-1p::gfp-pest, were also expressed in the excretory gland cell of larvae. Expression of the gfp fusion genes was never detected in the hypodermis of gravid adults that no longer molt.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2720
• Remark: No GO_term assigned.
• Pattern: Strong reporter gene expression was first observed in the hypodermal seam cells during embryogenesis and subsequently in the seam cells of all larval stages. The main hypodermal syncytium, hyp7, of larvae and young adult nematodes also displayed reporter gene activity. Strong GFP expression was observed in the toroid cells that form the developing vulva in the L4 larval stage and expression persisted into early adulthood, but was not present in the vulva of mature hermaphrodites. In addition to the hypodermal expression described above for hermaphrodites, intense reporter gene activity was also observed in the developing ray papillae of the L4 male tail. Young adult males exhibited weak expression, restricted to the hypodermis just anterior to the tail. No transgene expression was detected in the dauer larvae, but expression re-appeared approximately 12 h after dauers had been transferred to a fresh lawn of E. coli.
• Subcellular Localization: The expression in individual seam cells was often highly punctate.
