• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00001196
• Gene Name: egl-30
• Sequence Name: M01D7.7
• Brief Description: egl-30 encodes an ortholog of the heterotrimeric G protein alpha subunit Gq (Gq/G11 class) that affects viability, locomotion, egg laying, synaptic transmission, and pharyngeal pumping; it genetically interacts with the goa-1 pathway, and is probably expressed ubiquitously, with highest expression in excitable cells.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor binding activity; G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex binding activity; and GTPase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to dopamine; positive regulation of protein localization; and regulation of secretion. Located in axon; cell cortex; and neuronal cell body. Expressed in several structures, including vulval cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Sturge-Weber syndrome; autosomal dominant hypocalcemia 2; and familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia 2. Is an ortholog of human GNA11 (G protein subunit alpha 11).

	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

11 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr1030764
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr12868
• Pattern: Anti-EGL-30 antibody staining indicates that EGL-30 is most strongly expressed in neurons, and egl-30::gfp translational fusions also reveal strong expression in neurons, as well as muscle, and the differentiated secondary cells of the mature vulva.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1200
• Pattern: Expressed in the ventral cord motor neurons, as well as in many other neurons. The egl-30 Gq construct was also expressed in pharyngeal muscle cells.

• Primary Identifier: Expr10767
• Pattern: The authors confirmed the expression of egl-30 in ADF neurons and the major olfactory sensory neurons AWB and AWC by examining the coexpression of a transcriptional reporter, KP326 (Pegl-30::gfp) (Lackner et al., 1999), with mCherry reporters expressed in these neurons.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2011218
• 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: Expr2831
• Pattern: Expression was first observed in early embryos at cell peripheries and in a punctate pattern throughout embryos. Later, expression was observed in larvae in the nerve ring and many neurons of the nerve ring ganglia, pharyngeal muscle, and ventral cord and many neurons in the tail ganglia and hypodermis. Highest expression levels were observed in L4 larvae and in adult animals. Expression in larvae and in adults was also evident in the pharyngeal muscle. Expression was also observed in the dorsal nerve cord and in sublateral processes . In addition, occasional expression was observed throughout the intestine (particularly in the posterior intestine), vulval muscle, head muscle, in sperm, tonofilaments, and in vulval cells. With the exception of the pharyngeal muscle, expression levels in muscle were generally extremely low such that only rare animals (10%) showed weak expression. The CAN cell bodies and associated canals were observed to express GFP-tagged EGL-30 in most animals. The HSN cell bodies and the VC4 and VC5 neuronal cell bodies also occasionally expressed EGL-30 (10%), on the basis of proximity to the vulva. Other cell bodies in the ventral nerve cord were also observed to occasionally express GFP. Weak or occasional expression in other muscle-cell types, sperm, intestine, tonofilaments, and vulval cells indicates the possibility that EGL-30 might have an almost ubiquitous expression pattern.
• Subcellular Localization: Expression was observed in early embryos at cell peripheries and in a punctate pattern throughout embryos. In the nervous system, expression was observed in cell bodies and in neural processes. However, the highest expression was observed in the axons of the nerve ring.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2832
• Remark: Nonspecific antibody staining was observed in intestinal nuclei using both secondary antibodies and is most likely due to cross-reactivity with an unrelated protein. Western analysis supports this hypothesis since the band that migrates at the position where EGL-30 migrates on an SDS/PAGE gel is present at almost equivalent intensities in protein extracts prepared from egl-30(ad805) mutants compared to wild-type extracts, but the levels of this band increase significantly after heat-shock induction of an egl-30 transgene. When egl-30 was overexpressed from an integrated array (syIs36), an increase in the intensity of staining was observed in the nerve ring and in pharyngeal muscle, but not in intestinal nuclei.
• Pattern: Immunolocalization analysis with a polyclonal antibody generated against the carboxyl terminus of EGL-30 generally revealed the areas with highest expression levels. Using an HRP-conjugated secondary antibody and a FITC-conjugated secondary antibody, high expression was observed in axons of the nerve ring. The FITC-conjugated antibody also indicated expression in pharyngeal muscle. Both secondary antibodies revealed expression in sperm, and the FITC-conjugated antibody consistently showed expression in the anal sphincter muscle. Weak or occasional expression in other muscle-cell types, sperm, intestine, tonofilaments, and vulval cells indicates the possibility that EGL-30 might have an almost ubiquitous expression pattern.
