WormMine: Gene WBGene00003893

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00003893
• Gene Name: ost-1
• Sequence Name: C44B12.2
• Brief Description: ost-1 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the conserved basement membrane glycoprotein component osteonectin/SPARC/BM-40; loss of ost-1 function via RNAi indicates that ost-1 activity is required for embryonic and larval development, as well as for normal gut development, body size, and fecundity; an OST-1::GFP reporter fusion protein localizes to the basement membranes along body wall and sex muscles, as well as around the pharynx and gonad, with particular concentration at the spermatheca and distal tip cells.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Enables calcium ion binding activity. Located in basement membrane and extracellular space. Expressed in body wall musculature; gonad; head; pharynx; and vulval muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); osteogenesis imperfecta type 17; and progressive osseous heteroplasia. Is an ortholog of human SPARC (secreted protein acidic and cysteine rich).
• Biotype: SO:0001217
• Genetic Position: IV :-22.0306 ±0.044335
• Length (nt): 3477

• Primary Identifier: Expr1031836
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr707
• Remark: This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).
• Pattern: Expression is first detected in unhatched larvae and was maintained throughout all larval stages and in adults. Staining was observed along the length of the nematode and was particularly strong in cells along the body wall where beta-gal also accumulates in a striated pattern in the cytoplasm. The striated pattern is identified as body wall muscle cells. In addition, sex muscle cells show staining. There are two clusters of nuclei visible on both sides of the vulva. Staining is observed around the pharynx but there is no staining observed in pharyngeal muscle.
• Subcellular Localization: beta-gal accumulates in a striated pattern in the cytoplasm. The striated pattern is identified as body wall muscle cells.

• Primary Identifier: Expr708
• Remark: This information was extracted from published material (Archana Sharma-Oates, Andrew Mounsey and Ian A. Hope).
• Pattern: Localized diffusely along body muscle cells, concentrated at the boundaries between muscle cells. Staining limited to areas immediately adjacent to the body wall muscle. GFP protein also surrounds the sex muscles, which terminate at the vulva, detected in embryos and larvae. GFP localized around the pharynx, outlined the entire gonad and was particular prevalent at the spermatheca and the distal tip cell.
• Subcellular Localization: Concentrated at the boundaries between muscle cells.

• Primary Identifier: Expr14506
• Pattern: In C. elegans endogenous SPARC is produced primarily in the body wall and vulval muscles, and localize to the BMs surrounding all other tissues.
