WormMine: Gene WBGene00005153

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00005153
• Gene Name: srf-3
• Sequence Name: M02B1.1
• Brief Description: srf-3 encodes a nucleotide sugar transporter (NST) most similar to the subfamily of UDP-galactose and UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine transporters; SRF-3 can function as a nucleotide sugar transporter in heterologous in vitro and in vivo systems using UDP-galactose and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine as substrates; mutations in srf-3 alter the surface antigenicity of the cuticle in C. elegans; srf-3 mutations show altered binding to antibodies raised against the cuticles of wild-type worms, and lectins like wheat germ agglutinin; srf-3 mutants are resistant to infection by the nematode-specific pathogen, Microbacterium nematophilum, and to the adherence of bacteria like Yersinia pseudotuberculosis which form biofilms; this resistance is most likely due to an altered glycoconjugate surface composition; srf-3 mutants also show an altered response in the form of increased susceptibility to nematophagous fungi; srf-3 mutants seem to have fragile cuticles compared to wild-type; srf-3 is expressed in seam cells, glandular cells g1/g2 and the spermatheca.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Enables UDP-N-acetylglucosamine transmembrane transporter activity and UDP-galactose transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in UDP-N-acetylglucosamine transmembrane transport and UDP-galactose transmembrane transport. Located in Golgi membrane and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Expressed in pharyngeal gland cell; seam cell; spermatheca; and vas deferens. Used to study bacterial infectious disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital disorder of glycosylation type IIm. Is an ortholog of human SLC35A2 (solute carrier family 35 member A2).

The following three lines of R code were used to perform the classification: increasing <-2*amplitude-PC1 < -1.7; oscillating <-!increasing & (amplitude > 0.55); flat <-!increasing & !oscillating; Note that the amplitude of a sinusoidal wave corresponds to only half the fold change between trough and peak.

	Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (L3/L4 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.

	Genes regulated by DAF-12, according to whole transcriptome profiling to compare genome-wide regulatory influences of DPY-21 and SET-4 to those of the key transcription factors controlling dauer arrest in eak-7;akt-1 animals, DAF-16 and DAF-12.	Authors identified genes differentially expressed between wild-type and eak-7;akt-1 double mutant animals [fold change >= 1.5 and false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05]. Authors then compared the transcriptomes of eak-7;akt-1 double mutants to those of eak-7;akt-1 animals harboring mutations in dpy-21, set-4, daf-16, or daf-12, and identified genes that are differentially expressed in the opposite direction as in wild-type relative to eak-7;akt-1. Annotated gene expression data output from CuffDiff v2.2.1 was read into R version 3.2.1 for six comparisons: eak-7;akt-1 compared to (1) wild-type, (2) daf-16(mu86);eak-7;akt-1, (3) daf-12;eak-7;akt-1, (4) set-4(n4600);eak-7;akt-1, (5) set-4(dp268);eak-7;akt-1, and (6) dpy-21;eak-7;akt-1. Authors filtered genes by the following criteria: (1) status = OK for wild-type vs. eak-7;akt-1, (2) fold change (FC) >= 1.5 or FC <= 1/1.5 for wild-type vs. eak-7;akt-1 and (3) FDR < 0.05 for at least two separate comparisons.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2034539
• Pattern: 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/). The colors represent the broad cell class to which the cell type has been assigned. The size of the point is proportional to the log2 of the numbers of cells in the dataset of that cell type.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1032513
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr3026
• Pattern: To determine the cellular expression pattern of srf-3, constructs were generated, which fused GFP to the N terminus of SRF-3 and {beta}-galactosidase to the C terminus. Animals transgenic for either of these reporters expressed the fusion genes exclusively in the pharyngeal cells g1 and g2, the lateral seam cells, and the spermatheca. Expression was first visible in the seam cells of late embryos, where it persisted up to the fourth larval stage, but disappeared in adult animals. Expression in the glandular cells g1 and g2 started in L1 and remained visible until adulthood. In sexually mature hermaphrodites, expression was also observed in the spermatheca. In males, a similar pattern of expression was seen in g1, g2, and seam cells. In adult males, a strong expression signal was visible in the vas deferens.
• Subcellular Localization: Intracellular localization of the GFP signal was in a perinuclear staining pattern, consistent with an ER or Golgi apparatus localization of SRF-3.
