WormMine: Gene WBGene00001483

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00001483
• Gene Name: fog-3
• Sequence Name: C03C11.2
• Brief Description: fog-3 encodes a protein that has similarity, in its N-terminus, to the vertebrate Tob, BTG1, and BTG2 proteins that function in growth control and/or differentiation; in C. elegans, FOG-3 activity is required in the germ line throughout development for initiation and maintenance of spermatogenesis; fog-3 mRNA is expressed at highest levels in the L3, L4, and young adult stages of development, when spermatogenesis occurs; fog-3 transcription appears to be under the control of TRA-1A, which interacts with predicted TRA-1A binding sites in the fog-3 promoter in vitro.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable transcription corepressor activity. Involved in cell fate specification; developmental process involved in reproduction; and positive regulation of oocyte development. Located in cytoplasm and nuclear periphery. Expressed in germ line. Is an ortholog of human TOB1 (transducer of ERBB2, 1).

Regulated By Treatment	Description	Algorithm	Primary Identifier
	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 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
	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 up regulated in alg-1(gk214) comparing to in N2.	Differential expression was assessed using an empirical Bayes statistics using the eBayes function.	WBPaper00040823:alg-1(gk214)_upregulated

	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

	Strictly maternal class (SM): genes that are the subset of maternal genes that are not also classified as embryonic.	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.

	Transcripts that showed significantly decreased expression in dissected female germline comparing to in dissected male germline.	Log2 Fold change > 2 or <-1, p-value < 0.05.	WBPaper00053599:female_vs_male_downregulated
	Genes that showed increased expression after nicotic acid (NA) treatment.	Raw counts for the genes were analyzed using the R Statistical Computing Environment and the Bioconductor packages DESeq and edgeR. Both packages provide statistical routines for determining differential expression in digital gene expression data using a model based on the negative binomial distribution. The resulting p-values were adjusted using the Benjamini and Hochberg's approach for controlling the false discovery rate (FDR). If both FDR values (by DESeq and edgeR) were smaller than p = 0.05, genes were assigned as differentially expressed.	WBPaper00044260:nicotinc-acid_upregulated

8 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr1030885
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr9348
• Pattern: In XO males, FOG-3 was detectable weakly in the proximal mitotic zone and transition zone (leptotene and zygotene), and became abundant more proximally where germ cells progress into pachytene. In XX hermaphrodites early in the fourth larval stage (L4), when their sperm are being specified, FOG-3 was abundant in the pachytene region, but in late L4s when their germlines are switching to oogenesis, FOG-3 was no longer detectable. Therefore, FOG-3 is expressed transiently in XX hermaphrodites.
• Subcellular Localization: FOG-3 is predominantly cytoplasmic in both XX and XO animals.

• Primary Identifier: Expr12584

• Primary Identifier: Expr2011867
• 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: Expr1027248
• Pattern: Developmental gene expression time-course. Raw data can be downloaded from ftp://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/levin2012

• Primary Identifier: Expr1244
• Pattern: High levels of fog-3 expression are first seen in L3 larvae. These high levels continue through the L4 larval stage, when animals begin to produce sperm, and decline after young adulthood, when spermatogenesis stops. Similar studies using mixed populations of males and hermaphrodites.
