WormMine: Gene WBGene00006562

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00006562
• Gene Name: tdc-1
• Sequence Name: K01C8.3
• Brief Description: tdc-1 encodes the major C. elegans tyrosine decarboxylase; TDC-1 is an aromatic-L-amino-acid/L-histidine decarboxylase that is required for the synthesis of tyramine and octopamine, and thus for behaviors dependent upon these biogenic amines, including egg laying, locomotion, and touch response; TDC-1 is expressed in the RIC and RIM interneurons, in the gonadal sheath cells, and in the UV1 uterine cells.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Enables tyrosine decarboxylase activity. Involved in octopamine biosynthetic process. Located in axon and neuronal cell body. Expressed in hermaphrodite gonad and lateral ganglion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency; hyperinsulinism; and nicotine dependence. Is an ortholog of human DDC (dopa decarboxylase).

	Genes with expression level regulated by genotype (N2 vs CB4856) and age at L3 larva and Late reproduction stage (96 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_developing

	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
	Strictly maternal class (SM): genes that are the subset of maternal genes that are not also classified as embryonic.	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.

	Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression in 10-days post L4 adult hermaphrodite N2 grown at 20C, comparing to in 1-day post L4 adult hermaphrodite N2 animals grown at 20C.	CuffDiff, fold change > 2.	WBPaper00065096:Day10_vs_Day1_upregulated
	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.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2035503
• 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: Expr1200227
• Pattern: Data from the TransgeneOme project

• Primary Identifier: Expr3722
• Pattern: TDC-1 was coexpressed with TBH-1 in the RICs and gonadal sheath cells. TDC-1 staining also was present in the gonadal sheath cells and appeared to be localized to the projections of these cells between the oocytes. Bright staining of a pair of neurons was observed in the lateral ganglion. These cells were identified as the RIM motor neurons. Four uterine cells, which we identified as the UV1 cells, also expressed TDC-1. Expression in the uterine cells was not observed until the late L4 stage, the time at which the UV1 cells are generated. The octopaminergic RIC neurons expressed TDC-1 at much lower levels than do the tyraminergic RIM neurons.
• Subcellular Localization: TDC-1 staining was observed in the cell bodies and axonal processes of TDC-1-expressing neurons.
