WormMine: Gene WBGene00006565

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00006565
• Gene Name: tfg-1
• Sequence Name: Y63D3A.5
• Brief Description: tfg-1 encodes a tumor suppressor gene homologous to human TRK-fused gene (TFG)(OMIM: 602498); TFG-1 is sufficient and necessary to inhibit the normal apoptotic pathway; TFG-1 influences body size and responsible for determining the size of adults; TFG-1 functions in a novel pathway independent of TGF-beta; and insulin signaling to control cell growth and size; TFG-1 directly interacts with SEC-16 and controls COPII subunit accumulation at the endoplasmic reticulum exit sites; TFG-1 requires SEC-16 for its localization and SEC-16 requires TFG-1 to accumulate normally on endoplasmic reticulum exit sites; TFG-1 hexamers facilitates normal assembly of large complexes containing SEC-16 and COPII subunits; TFG-1 depletion leads to a defect in normal Golgi assembly; analogously to C. elegans TFG-1, human TFG functions at endoplasmic reticulum exit sites; TFG-1 is detectable as early as the two cell stage of embryogenesis and expression continues throughout embryogenesis, punctated pattern in cytoplasm colocalizing with mitochondrial COX1.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport; protein localization; and regulation of cell size. Located in endoplasmic reticulum exit site and mitochondrion. Expressed in germ line; hypodermis; intestine; and muscle cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 57. Is an ortholog of human TFG (trafficking from ER to golgi regulator).

	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

	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.	WBPaper00045420:fertilization_downregulated_transcript
	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.

	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.

7 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr2035514
• 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: Expr9302
• Pattern: TFG-1 localizes to endoplasmic reticulum exit sites in the C. elegans germline. In addition, it was found that TFG-1 accumulates at endoplasmic reticulum exit sites in several other tissues, including the intestine, hypodermis and muscle.
• Subcellular Localization: TFG-1 antibodies stained punctate structures throughout the cytoplasm of oocytes, 85% of which co-localized with SEC-16 on endoplasmic reticulum exit sites. Using immunogold electron microscopy, the localization of TFG-1 in proximal oocytes was further defined to a cloud-like region at endoplasmic reticulum exit sites that spread to the ERGIC.

• Primary Identifier: Expr8207
• Remark: Picture: Figure 2.
• Pattern: Immunoreactive TFG-1 is detectable as early as the 2-cell stage of embryogenesis, and its expression continues throughout embryogenesis.
• Subcellular Localization: Closer examination of the subcellular localization of TFG-1 revealed a punctuated staining pattern in the cytoplasm, which partially colocalizes with mitochondrial COX1.
