WormMine: Gene WBGene00002012

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00002012
• Gene Name: hsp-12.3
• Sequence Name: F38E11.1
• Brief Description: hsp-12.3 encodes a small heat-shock protein that forms heterotetramerswith HSP-12.2 and has no chaperone-like activity; structurally, HSP-12.3is mostly a beta-sheet; at least one HSP-12 (which may or may not beHSP-12.2) is ubiquitously expressed in L1 larvae, and later expressed inadult spermatids (and perhaps spermatocytes), and some adult vulvalcells; hsp-12.3 is upregulated in daf-2 mutants, suggesting thathsp-12.3's expression may contribute to prolonged lifespan in dauerlarvae.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Enables heat shock protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein refolding and response to heat. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract (multiple); dilated cardiomyopathy 1II; and myofibrillar myopathy (multiple). Is an ortholog of human CRYAA (crystallin alpha A); CRYAB (crystallin alpha B); and HSPB6 (heat shock protein family B (small) member 6).

	Genes with expression level regulated by genotype (N2 vs CB4856) at L3 larva and Late reproduction stage (96 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_regulated_developing
