WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00000156 Gene Name  apr-1
Sequence Name  ? K04G2.8 Brief Description  The apr-1 gene encodes an ortholog of human APC (OMIM:175100, mutated in familial adenomatous polyposis) that is required for germline fertility, the control of homeodomain expression (CEH-13 and LIN-39) during embryogenesis and vulval development, and for the migration and elongation of hypodermal cells during embryo morphogenesis; APR-1 is thought to reside in adherens junctions, while also stimulating two beta-catenins in Wnt signalling (HMP-2 in migrating epithelial cells, and BAR-1 in the vulval precursor cells); however, APR-1 also binds PRY-1/axin, and with PRY-1 inhibits RAS-independent Wnt induction of LIN-39; APR-1 along with MOM-5/Frizzled receptor and GSK-3 kinase is also required for the engulfment of apoptotic cells and migration of the distal tip cell in the gonad, indicating that Wnt signaling can regulate cytoskeletal rearrangements via CED-10/RAC; phosphorylated APR-1 binds CED-2/CrkII in yeast two hybrid screens, this binding and genetic studies suggest that APR-1 and MOM-5 activate the CED-2/5/12 branch of the engulfment pathway.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Enables beta-catenin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; regulation of Wnt signaling pathway; and regulation of multicellular organismal development. Located in adherens junction; cell cortex; and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including P3.p hermaphrodite; P4.p hermaphrodite; P8.p hermaphrodite; distal tip cell; and excretory cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; Sotos syndrome 3; carcinoma (multiple); and gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human APC (APC regulator of WNT signaling pathway) and APC2 (APC regulator of WNT signaling pathway 2).

  Genes with expression altered >= 3-fold in dpy-10(e128) mutants. Data across the wild type series was analyzed using the Significance analysis of Microarrays (SAM) algorithm (to calculate the False Discovery Rate (FDR)). WBPaper00035873:dpy-10_regulated
  Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression in L1 neural cells comparing to in adult neural cells. DESeq2 (v1.18.1) fold change > 2, P-adj<0.05, using BenjaminiHochberg correction. WBPaper00060811:L1_vs_adult_upregulated_neural
  Transcripts of coding genes that showed significantly decreased expression in muscle. DESeq2 (version 1.24.0). Transcripts with a false-discovery rate adjusted p-value less than 0.05 were considered significantly differentially expressed. WBPaper00062325:muscle_depleted_coding-RNA
  Transcripts expressed in neuronal cells, by analyzingfluorescence-activated cell sorted (FACS) neurons. DESeq. False discovry rate (FDR) < 0.1. WBPaper00048988:neuron_expressed
  Genes significantly enriched (> 2x, FDR < 5%) in a particular cell-type versus a reference sample of all cells at the same stage. A Mann-Whitney U test with an empirical background model and FDR correction for multiple testing was used to detect expressed transcripts (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995). Genes and TARs with an FDR <= 0.05 were reported as expressed above background. Authors detected differentially expressed transcripts using a method based on linear models. Genes and TARs were called differentially expressed if the FDR was <= 0.05 and the fold change (FC) >= 2.0. To more strictly correct for potential false-positives resulting from multiple sample comparisons, authors divided individual FDR estimates by the number of samplesor sample comparisons, respectively. This resulted in an adjusted FDR of 1.3 * 0.0001 for expression above background and of 7.4 * 0.0001 for differential expression. Authors called genes selectively enriched in a given tissue if they met the following requirements: (1) enriched expression in a given tissue (FDR <= 0.05 and FC >= 2.0), (2) fold change versus reference among the upper 40% of the positive FC range observed for this gene across all tissues, and (3) fold-change entropy among the lower 40% of the distribution observed for all genes. WBPaper00037950:A-class-motor-neurons_larva_enriched
  Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (embryonic 24hr reference). A Mann-Whitney U test with an empirical background model and FDR correction for multiple testing was used to detect expressed transcripts (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995).

Bacteria diet: Sphingomonas aquatilis Yellow. Fed for 30 generations. Transcripts that showed significantly decreased expression after fed by bacteria Sphingomonas aquatilis (Yellow) for 30 generations comparing to animals fed by E. coli OP50. DESeq2 fold change > 2, p-value < 0.01. WBPaper00061007:S.aquatilis_downregulated
Bacteria infection: Bacillus thuringiensis mRNAs that showed significantly decreased expression after pathogenic bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis infections comparing to non pathogenic BT (BT247(1 to 2 mix) vs BT407 12h), according to RNAseq. Cuffdiff, ajusted p-value < 0.01. WBPaper00046497:B.thuringiensis_0.5mix_downregulated_12h
  Maternal class (M): genes that are called present in at least one of the three PC6 replicates. A modified Welch F statistic was used for ANOVA. For each gene, regressed error estimates were substituted for observed error estimates. The substitution is justified by the lack of consistency among the most and least variable genes at each time point. Regressed error estimates were abundance-dependent pooled error estimates that represented a median error estimate from a window of genes of similar abundance to the gene of interest. A randomization test was used to compute the probability Pg of the observed F statistic for gene g under the null hypothesis that developmental time had no effect on expression. P-values were not corrected for multiple testing. [cgc5767]:expression_class_M

10 Expression Patterns

Remark Reporter Gene Primary Identifier Pattern Subcellular Localization
    Expr4600   APR-1::GFP localized to the anterior cortex in all seam cells (including T cells). Just after the completion of the divisions, APR-1::GFP remained on the cortex of the anterior daughter cells. They also localized symmetrically to the cytoplasm throughout the cell cycle. The asymmetric cortical distribution was observed just prior to the onset of division and during the division, but not in interphase cells, consistent with previous localization analyses of these proteins in interphase cells (see Expr1046). Regarding nuclear localization, APR-1 was nearly excluded from the nucleus in interphase cells. At telophase or just after division, however, APR-1::GFP was clearly seen in both nuclei. In addition, a region near the N terminus of APR-1 (amino acid residues 112 to 333) containing the Arm repeat-like sequence strongly localized to the nucleus.

    Expr12119 At the end of the L1 stage, just before execution of the symmetric division of V1-V4/V6 in the early L2, APR-1::GFP appears asymmetrically expressed, with enriched APR-1::GFP on the anterior cortex of seam cells.  
Reporter gene fusion type not specified. The larval expression pattern was studied by observing GFP expression in a strain carrying an APR-1::GFP reporter transgene on the integrated array zhIs2. Expr1046 In early L1 larvae, APR-1 was expressed in the 12 Pn cells as they were descending toward the ventral midline. In L3 stage hermaphrodites, APR-1 was strongly expressed in P3-8.p, but no APR-1 could be detected in anterior (P1.p and P2.p) or posterior (P9.pP12.p) Pn.p cell. In addition, APR-1 was expressed in the seam cells, in the excretory cell and in the excretory canal cell during the L1 stage, and in some unidentified neurons in the head region. Similar to the staining observed in embryos, some APR-1 staining was localized at the adherens junctions, whereas another fraction of APR-1 could be detected in the cytoplasm. Some APR-1 staining was localized at the adherens junctions, whereas another fraction of APR-1 could be detected in the cytoplasm.
