WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00004963 Gene Name  spe-9
Sequence Name  ? C17D12.6 Brief Description  spe-9 encodes an EGF repeat-containing protein with a short intracellular domain; SPE-9 is required autonomously in sperm for fertilization, and by homology, likely mediates an adhesive or signaling event necessary for proper oocyte fertilization; spe-9 mRNA is detected solely in animals that are engaged in spermatogenesis; in spermatids, SPE-9 is found at or near the cell surface; following sperm activation, SPE-9 is found primarily on the pseudopod.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in single fertilization. Located in several cellular components, including cell surface; cytoplasm; and pseudopodium. Expressed in sperm and spermatid. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Adams-Oliver syndrome; limb ischemia; and temporal arteritis. Is an ortholog of human DLL1 (delta like canonical Notch ligand 1) and DLL4 (delta like canonical Notch ligand 4).

  Transcripts of coding genes that showed significantly decreased expression in muscle. DESeq2 (version 1.24.0). Transcripts with a false-discovery rate adjusted p-value less than 0.05 were considered significantly differentially expressed. WBPaper00062325:muscle_depleted_coding-RNA
  Genes significantly enriched (> 2x, FDR < 5%) in a particular cell-type versus a reference sample of all cells at the same stage. 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.

  mRNAs that showed decreased expression in 1 cell mebryo comparing to in oocyte, according to RNAseq analysis. Gaussian error propagation. As cutoff for the up-regulated genes authors used log2 fold change > 1 and P < 0.05 and as cutoff for the down-regulated genes authors used log2 fold change < -1 and P < 0.05.

  Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression after animals were treated with 100uM Rapamycin and 50mM Metformin from day 1 to day 3 adult hermaphradite. DESeq2(v1.14.1), fold change > 2, p-value < 0.05 WBPaper00055354:Rapamycin-Metformin_upregulated
  Genes with expression level regulated by genotype (N2 vs CB4856) and age at old adults stage (214 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_age_regulated_aging

  Maternal class (M): genes that are called present in at least one of the three PC6 replicates. A modified Welch F statistic was used for ANOVA. For each gene, regressed error estimates were substituted for observed error estimates. The substitution is justified by the lack of consistency among the most and least variable genes at each time point. Regressed error estimates were abundance-dependent pooled error estimates that represented a median error estimate from a window of genes of similar abundance to the gene of interest. A randomization test was used to compute the probability Pg of the observed F statistic for gene g under the null hypothesis that developmental time had no effect on expression. P-values were not corrected for multiple testing. [cgc5767]:expression_class_M

    Expr1032471 Tiling arrays expression graphs  
    Expr3127   SPE-9 is concentrated in spikes during spermiogenesis and pseudopods in mature sperm. SPE-9 is segregated to spermatids where, depending on the plane of focus, a ring of staining was seen. In addition to the identical staining patterns observed with the EX and C antisera, sperm isolated from worms carrying a null allele of spe-9 was stained to further validate specificity. spe-9(eb19) animals produce spermatids that show no immunoreactivity to both the EX and C sera. The SPE-9 staining pattern is very different from staining patterns seen with sera that stain internal sperm structures. Spermatids were also labeled with the monoclonal antibody 1CB4. The epitope recognized by 1CB4 has been shown to reside on membranous organelles (MOs). MOs are located in the cytoplasm close to the plasma membrane. This MO vesicle-staining pattern is distinct from SPE-9 staining.
    Expr3091 Expressed in sperm and spermatids. Mutant SPE-9 localization was indistinguishable from wild-type. The results were identical for hc52 and hc88. In spermatids, SPE-9 is located at or near the cell surface and has some incidental overlap with 1CB4 staining that marks sperm membranous organelles (MOs) in the cytoplasm. After sperm activation (spermiogenesis), SPE-9 appears concentrated on the pseudopod while 1CB4 staining remains restricted to the cell body.
    Expr14495 spe-9 tdTomato knock-in shows sperm expression.  
    Expr2016051 Single cell embryonic expression. Only cell types with an expression fraction of greater 0.2 of the maximum expressed fraction are labeled (Full data can be downloaded from http://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/packer2019/).

    Expr3092 Worms carrying the Ex-Y47H9 transgene had wild-type level broods (109 9 at 25C) in a spe-9(eb19) mutant background displayed no SPE-9 staining. Probably because of germline silencing.
