WormMine: Gene WBGene00000067

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00000067
• Gene Name: act-5
• Sequence Name: T25C8.2
• Brief Description: act-5 encodes an ortholog of human cytoplasmic actin; act-5 is required for formation of the terminal web and microvilli on the apical surface of intestinal cells; act-5 also plays a role in mediating non-lytic exit of intracellular parasites from the intestine; act-5 is expressed only in intestinal cells and in the excretory cell; in the intestine, ACT-5 localizes to microvilli and the terminal web.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable hydrolase activity. Involved in several processes, including larval feeding behavior; microvillus assembly; and positive regulation of eating behavior. Located in microvillar actin bundle and terminal web. Expressed in excretory cell; gonad; intestine; pharyngeal-intestinal valve; and rectal gland cell.

9 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr4594
• Pattern: Analysis of a reporter transgene revealed that act-5 expression is restricted to a small subset of cells within the C. elegans alimentary tract and excretory systems. GFP fluorescence was easily detected within a subset of embryonic, larval, and adult cells in transgenic animals, consistent with previous findings on the act-5 expression pattern. Within larvae and adults, GFP expression occurred within the 20 cells that comprise the adult intestine, and in two sets of three associated cells: one just anterior and one posterior to the intestine. The anterior set corresponds to the middle of three sets of pharyngeal-intestinal valve cells (vpi2), whereas the posterior group of associated cells comprises the rectal epithelial cell (rectD, rect_VL, rect_VR). Finally, the single excretory canal cell, which extends processes along the entire length of the worm, also showed GFP expression.

• Primary Identifier: Expr4555
• Pattern: Expression of major cytoskeletal proteins were detected in the myoepithelial sheath, and, interestingly, some of them were also expressed in other parts of the somatic gonad.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2009225
• 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: Expr14933
• Pattern: As expected, we observed expression of the extrachromosomal act-5p::rfp transgene in the intestine in wild-type animals.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1157664
• Pattern: Developmental gene expression time-course. Raw data can be downloaded from ftp://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/hashimshony2015

• Primary Identifier: Expr3724
• Remark: No GO_term assigned. gla-1(op234) mutant worms, which have increased cell death in the hermaphrodite germ line, showed increased numbers of both halos and apoptotic cells. In contrast, no halos were observed in the gonads of worms mutant for the ced-3 caspase homologue in which apoptosis is blocked, suggesting that actin halos specifically surround apoptotic germ cells.
• Subcellular Localization: In wild-type worms, YFP::actin 'halos' could clearly be observed around early apoptotic corpses. Additionally, YFP::actin incorporated into filamentous, phalloidin-stained structures, suggesting that the fusion is functional.
