WormMine: Gene WBGene00006655

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00006655
• Gene Name: tub-1
• Sequence Name: F10B5.4
• Brief Description: tub-1 encodes a TUBBY homolog that affects fat storage across species including C. elegans; tub-1 functions with kat-1, a 3-ketoacyl-coA thiolase, to affect lipid accumulation; tub-1 is also required for normal life span as tub-1 mutants show extended life span which is dependent on daf-16/FOXO3a; tub-1 interacts with a novel RabGTPase-activating protein RBG-3 and upregulates the activity of a small GTPase, RAB-7, suggesting the involvement of an endocytic pathway in regulating fat storage; tub-1 is expressed in ciliated neurons where its activity is required for proper localization of G protein-coupled receptors to nonmotile primary cilia; tub-1 localizes predominantly to the cytoplasm, but undergoes transport supporting its involvement in neuronal trafficking and chemosensation.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Involved in positive regulation of neurogenesis and receptor localization to non-motile cilium. Located in cytoplasm; non-motile cilium; and periciliary membrane compartment. Expressed in neurons. Used to study obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 15; obesity; and retinitis pigmentosa 14. Is an ortholog of human TUB (TUB bipartite transcription factor); TULP1 (TUB like protein 1); and TULP3 (TUB like protein 3).

	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
	Transcripts expressed in neuronal cells, by analyzingfluorescence-activated cell sorted (FACS) neurons.	DESeq. False discovry rate (FDR) < 0.1.	WBPaper00048988:neuron_expressed
	Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (embryonic 24hr 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.

10 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr2035772
• 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. Interactive visualizations are available as a web app (https://cello.shinyapps.io/celegans/) and can also be installed as an R package (https://github.com/qinzhu/VisCello.celegans).

• Primary Identifier: Expr3658
• Pattern: GFP expression was found in several neurons, including the ciliated amphid neurons (ASI, ADL, ASK, AWB, ASH, ASJ) in the head region and ciliated phasmid neurons (PHA and PHB) in the tail, as judged by colocalization of GFP with DiI as well as in PDE and several labial neurons in the head. Expression in neurons was visible early in developing young larvae enclosed in the egg.
• Subcellular Localization: Several of these neurons have processes leading to the tip of the head or tail. The GFP fluorescence was also observed in form of small aggregates (0.3 um to 0.9 um) along the neuronal processes. TUB-1::GFP is localized mostly to the cytoplasm with very little signal in the nucleus. This is in contrast to results from mammalian cell culture where tubby is primarily found in the nucleus. The cytoplasmic localization suggests that either C. elegans TUB-1 only transiently functions in the nucleus or a very small proportion in the nucleus is sufficient for the function or it is required only in the cytoplasm.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1032765
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr10125
• Remark: Promoter::GFP fusion constructs of variable lengths were generated using PCR amplification followed by subsequent cloning into expression vectors.
• Pattern: Expressed in both the amphid and tail ciliated sensory neurons. The 60 C. elegans CSNs present in an adult hermaphrodite worm were divided into 5 subgroups or anatomical regions including, neurons that reside in the amphids (region 1 = 24 CSNs: AWAL/R, AWBL/R, AWCL/R, AFDL/R, ASEL/R, ADFL/R, ASGL/R, ASHL/R, ASIL/R, ASJLR, ASKL/R, ADLL/R) or in the tail (region 2 = 5 CSNs: PHAL/R, PHBL/R, PQR), neurons surrounding the anterior bulb (region 3 = 24 CSNs: BAGL/ R, CEPVL/R, CEPDL/R, IL1L/R, IL2L/R, IL1VL/R, IL2VL/R, IL1DL/R, IL2DL/R, OLLL/R, OLQVL/R, OLQDL/R) or the posterior bulb (region 4 = 5 CSNs: ADEL/R, FLPL/R, AQR) of the pharynx, and neurons in the midbody region of the worm (region 5=2 CSNs: PDEL/R). tub-1 was detected in all 5 regions.

• Primary Identifier: Expr3486
• Pattern: tub-1::gfp is expressed in most or all ciliated sensory neurons.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2017632
• Pattern: Single cell embryonic expression.
