WormMine: Gene WBGene00002210

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00002210
• Gene Name: kin-29
• Sequence Name: F58H12.1
• Brief Description: kin-29 encodes a serine/threonine kinase with significant homology in the kinase domain to the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and SNF1 kinases; the AMP-kinase cascade is activated by cellular stresses that deplete ATP; AMP-kinase is believed to protect the mammalian cell by 'switching off' ATP-consuming pathways like fatty acid synthesis, by phosphorylating key regulatory enzymes, and switching on alternative pathways for ATP generation; kin-29 is involved in regulating the expression of chemosensory receptors and entry into the dauer pathway; kin-29 also affects body size via interaction with the Sma/Mab pathway and lifespan, with mutants exhibiting a smaller body size and increased life span; a functional KIN-29-GFP fusion protein is expressed in sensory neurons and many other cell types, and localizes to the cytoplasm; under conditions of cellular stress like heat shock, KIN-29-GFP translocates to the nucleus.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Enables histone deacetylase inhibitor activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including dauer entry; positive regulation of growth rate; and transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in body wall musculature; hypodermis; intestine; nervous system; and non-striated muscle.

	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.

10 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr1031292
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr1773
• Pattern: kin-29::GFP expression was primarily neuronal, with additional expression in body wall muscle and hypodermal cells. Expression persisted through all stages of postembryonic development. Among neuronal cells, kin-29 was expressed in multiple sensory neurons and interneurons in the lateral, anterior, and lumbar ganglia, as well as in motor neurons in the ventral motor cord. kin-29::GFP colocalizes with odr-1::RFP expression in both the AWB and AWC olfactory neurons. kin-29 was also expressed in the ASH, AFD, ASJ, AWA, ASK, ASG, and ASI sensory neurons. In addition, kin-29 was expressed in the AIY and AIZ interneurons. Additional kin-29-expressing cells were not identified definitively.
• Subcellular Localization: KIN-29::GFP was localized cytoplasmically, and was excluded from the nuclei of most, if not all, cell types. KIN-29::GFP was localized cytoplasmically at all stages of development examined, including in dauer larvae. However, KIN-29::GFP was rapidly translocated to the nucleus upon heat shock, but not upon starvation for 18 hr, addition of dauer pheromone, or in a tph-1 mutant background, although transient nuclear localization in a subset of cell types cannot be ruled out. Heat shock-induced translocation was observed in most, if not all cells, including neurons, muscles, and hypodermal cells. Translocation was reversible; KIN-29::GFP was relocalized to the cytoplasm within an hour upon temperature downshift.

• Primary Identifier: Expr8628
• Remark: Picture: Fig. 5.
• Pattern: Most notably, KIN-29 is seen in several neuronal cells in the head and tail throughout the course of development. Several of the sensory neurons found in the head express KIN-29, including ASH, AFD and ASI. Additional neuronal staining is observed in both CAN cells and the ventral nerve cord. Expression was found both in pharyngeal and body wall muscle. During the L1, L3 and L4 stages, expression was see throughout the intestine both in the nuclei and to a lesser extent in the cytoplasm and in cells in the tail. This intestinal expression is rarely seen in later stages of development. Occasionally, expression is seen in vulval muscles as well.
• Subcellular Localization: Expressed in the nuclei and to a lesser extent in the cytoplasm in intestine.

• Primary Identifier: Expr14935
• Pattern: kin-29::degron::GFP is expressed in head neurons and in the intestine consistent with previous reports (Lanjuin and Sengupta 2002).

• Primary Identifier: Expr14895
• Pattern: The construct with the kin-29 promoter driving GFP showed the same expression pattern as described previously by Lanjuin and Sengupta, 2002: it is expressed broadly in the nervous system including the CANs, in body wall muscle cells and in the hypodermis persisting through development.
