WormMine: Gene WBGene00003701

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00003701
• Gene Name: nhr-111
• Sequence Name: F44G3.9
• Brief Description: nhr-111 encodes a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily; by homology, NHR-111 is predicted to function as a ligand-dependent transcriptional regulator, but as loss of nhr-111 activity via large-scale RNAi screens does not result in any abnormalities, the precise role of NHR-111 in C. elegans development and/or behavior is not yet known; an nhr-111 reporter construct is expressed in embryos and early larvae in a pair of neurons in the ventral ganglion of the head and in two cells that may be the somatic gonad precursors.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and nuclear receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in PVD; head neurons; intestine; pharynx; and somatic gonad precursor. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in enhanced S-cone syndrome and retinitis pigmentosa 37. Is an ortholog of human NR2E3 (nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group E member 3).

adult vs dauer larva	Transcripts that showed differential expression in adult vs dauer lava in N2 animals at 20C.	N.A.	WBPaper00050488:adult_vs_dauer_regulated_N2_20C
	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.

	Coexpression clique No. 203, sre-33-ZK1025.1_8337, on the genome-wide coexpression clique map for the nematode GPL200 platform.	All available microarray datasets for the GPL200 platform (Affymetrix C. elegans Genome Array) were obtained from the GEO repository. This included 2243 individual microarray experiments. These were normalized against each other with the software RMAexpress (Bolstad, 2014). Based on these normalized values, Pearsons correlation coefficients were obtained for each probe-probe pair of the 22,620 probes represented on this array type. The resulting list of correlation coefficients was then ranked to generate the ranked coexpression database with information on each probe represented on the GPL200 platform.

6 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr10052
• Pattern: nhr-111 transcripts were detected by real-time qRT- PCR at modest levels in embryos, but decreased progressively during larval development.The nhr-111::gfp reporter was consistently expressed in at least eight pairs of neurons in the head, the sensory PVD neurons of the posterior lateral body wall, the pharynx, intestine (most often in the posterior- and anterior- most cells), the dorsal peri-vulva region of adults (which may be either uterine or vulval cells), and the somatic gonad precursor cells. Among the head neurons was one prominent pair of sensory neurons just posterior to the nerve ring and at least one pair of neurons or support cells that appear to be inner or outer labial sensory cells. We also observed weak and variable expression in a subset of ventral nerve cord motorneurons. The temporal dynamics of nhr-111::gfp were consistent with nhr-111 qRT-PCR results: expression was very bright in the Z1 and Z4 somatic gonad precursor cells in embryos and early L1, but decreased in the developing gonad at later stages and was relatively faint in other cells. nhr-111 transcripts were detected by real-time qRT- PCR at modest levels in embryos, but decreased progressively during larval development.The nhr-111::gfp reporter was consistently expressed in at least eight pairs of neurons in the head, the sensory PVDneurons of the posterior lateral body wall, the pharynx, intestine (most often in the posterior- and anterior- most cells), the dorsal peri-vulva region of adults (which may be either uterine or vulval cells), and the somatic gonad precursor cells.
