WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00000837 Gene Name  cul-2
Sequence Name  ? ZK520.4 Brief Description  cul-2 encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase; during development, CUL-2 functions as part of a Cul2-RING ubiquitin-ligase complex that regulates diverse biological processes, such as the initiation of meiotic anaphase II, cytokinesis and mitotic chromosome segregation, embryonic cell fate specification, and sex determination, via ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis; targets of CUL-2-mediated degradation include CYB-1/cyclin B and the zinc-finger protein TRA-1; CUL-2 is expressed in diverse cell types during embryonic and larval development and is also expressed in the adult germ line.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Predicted to enable protein-macromolecule adaptor activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including anaphase-promoting complex-dependent catabolic process; male sex determination; and meiotic chromosome segregation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of Cul2-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Expressed in several structures, including P1; P12; P2; germ line; and nerve ring. Is an ortholog of human CUL2 (cullin 2).

  Transcripts expressed in neuronal cells, by analyzingfluorescence-activated cell sorted (FACS) neurons. DESeq. False discovry rate (FDR) < 0.1. WBPaper00048988:neuron_expressed
  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). 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.

  Genes with expression level regulated by genotype (N2 vs CB4856) and age at old adults stage (214 hours at 24 centigrade). For model 2, authors used 100 permutations to estimate the FDR threshold. Per permutation, genotypes and ages were independently randomly distributed, keeping the among-gene structure intact. Then for each spot (23,232) on the array, model 2 was tested. The obtained P-values were used to estimate a threshold for each of the explanatory factors. Authors also used a genome-wide threshold of -log10 P-value = 2, which resembles an FDR of 0.072 and 0.060 for marker and the interaction age-marker for the developing worms and FDR of 0.050 and 0.065 for marker and age-marker for the aging worms. For the physiological age effect, authors used a log10 P-value = 8 in developing worms (0.012 FDR) and -log10 P-value = 6 (0.032 FDR). WBPaper00040858:eQTL_age_regulated_aging

  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

    Expr2555 In adults, the major site of cul-2 mRNA expression is the germ line. cul-2 mRNA is provided to embryos as maternal product, and during embryogenesis the levels of cul-2 mRNA decrease. During larval development, cul-2 mRNA is found in proliferating tissues, with the highest level in the intestine, which endoreplicates at each larval molt, as well as in a few postmitotic neurons in the nerve ring.  
Disruption of cul-2 expression by double-stranded RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) severely reduces the levels of both nuclear and cytoplasmic anti-CUL-2 staining.   Expr2556 In adults, CUL-2 is observed in the germ line, with higher levels in meiotic cells. The highest CUL-2 levels are found in oocytes, where CUL-2 is mainly nuclear with some cytoplasmic staining. Similar to cul-2 mRNA, CUL-2 protein is provided to embryos as maternal product and the level decreases during embryogenesis. During larval development, CUL-2 is found in the following proliferating tissues: P cells during the L1 stage; seam cells when they divide at every molt; vulval and somatic gonad cells in late L3 and L4 stages; and intestinal cells throughout larval development. Mainly nuclear with some cytoplasmic staining.
