WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00003969 Gene Name  pef-1
Sequence Name  ? F23H11.8 Brief Description  pef-1 encodes an ortholog of the rhodopsin-specific serine/threonine phosphatase RdgC in D. melanogaster and of RdgC-related proteins in humans (PPEF1 and PPEF2; OMIM:300109 and OMIM:602256); PEF-1 has a EF-hand calcium-binding domain, and is peripherally bound to the plasma membrane by myristoylation and palmitoylation; pef-1 has no known mutant phenotype, but is expressed in several anterior amphid neurons, from what appears to be the 3-fold embryo stage onward; on the basis of its expression and its orthology, PEF-1 may negatively regulate signalling through serpentine receptors such as STR-2.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in detection of stimulus involved in sensory perception. Located in neuronal cell body. Expressed in hypodermis; intestinal cell; muscle cell; and neurons. Is an ortholog of human PPEF1 (protein phosphatase with EF-hand domain 1).
Biotype  SO:0001217 Genetic Position  III :-25.0941 ±0.017637

  Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (L2 all cell 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.

7 Expression Patterns

Remark Reporter Gene Primary Identifier Pattern Subcellular Localization
    Expr1031893 Tiling arrays expression graphs  
    Expr1500 Both: The transgene constructs showed minimal expression in non-neuronal cells. However, transgene expression in intestinal, hypodermal, or muscle cells was observed in occasional transgenic lines in which 3.0-kb genomic DNA fragments extending just past the CePPEF start codon directed production of short N-terminal regions of CePPEF fused to GFP. As these expression patterns occurred sporadically, they likely reflect transgene effects rather than an expression pattern relevant to the endogenous CePPEF gene. FL-GFP: FL-GFP transgene directed GFP expression to the same set of neurons as the NLS-GFP-LacZ construct, and expression in a single posterior neuron was also more clearly observed. Within the expressing cells, the FL-GFP fusion protein localized efficiently to several structures beyond the cell soma, including axons that form the ventral nerve cord; dendrites that extend to the anterior tip of the animal; and the cilia of neurons AWB, AWC, and BAG. aa-(1)-NLS-GFP-LacZ: Injection of the aa-(1)-NLS-GFP-LacZ construct into C. elegans revealed reporter gene expression in several anterior neurons, including AWB, AWC, AVA, AVB, AVX, BAG, and URX. The ASE neuron showed inconsistent transgene expression. FL-GFP: Within the expressing cells, the FL-GFP fusion protein localized efficiently to several structures beyond the cell soma, including axons that form the ventral nerve cord; dendrites that extend to the anterior tip of the animal; and the cilia of neurons AWB, AWC, and BAG. aa-(1)-NLS-GFP-LacZ: GFP-LacZ fusion protein facilitates retention in the nucleus.
Other strain-- UL1002   Expr2115 Expression is seen from 3-fold embryos until adulthood. Expression is seen predominantly in several cells around the pharyngeal metacorpus and around the buccal cavity. Presumably they represent sensory neurons and their sensory endings around the buccal cavity. This gene has homology to mammalian serine/threonine protein phosphatases that are expressed in sensory neurons.
