WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00006772 Gene Name  unc-36
Sequence Name  ? C50C3.9 Brief Description  unc-36 encodes an alpha2/delta subunit of a voltage-gated calcium channel; unc-36 is required for normal locomotion and proper intracellular trafficking, presynaptic localization and functional maturation of the UNC-2 alpha1 subunit of a C. elegans CaV2 channel in sensory and motor neurons; unc-36 also functions in a calcium-dependent pathway that establishes left-right asymmetry in the nervous system during development; recordings of voltage-dependent calcium currents indicate that UNC-36 regulates voltage dependence, kinetics, and conductance of the EGL-19 alpha1 subunit of the body wall muscle voltage-dependent calcium channel; unc-36 is expressed in muscle cells and motor neurons; an UNC-36::GFP localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Enables calcium channel regulator activity; delayed rectifier potassium channel activity; and voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Involved in several processes, including egg-laying behavior; nematode pharyngeal pumping; and serotonin receptor signaling pathway. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and plasma membrane. Part of voltage-gated calcium channel complex. Expressed in head muscle; neurons; non-striated muscle; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 110 and retinal cone dystrophy 4. Is an ortholog of human CACNA2D3 (calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit alpha2delta 3).

  Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression in mep-1(ne4629[MEP-1-GFP-Degron]) in gonads dissected from 1-day old adult animals.

WBPaper00061479:mep-1(ne4629)_upregulated
  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.

Picture: Figure 5A to 5E.   Expr7866 This UNC-36::GFP reporter was expressed in most neurons and virtually all muscle tissue (consistently in body wall and vulval muscle, and sometimes in the pharyngeal muscle). Expression of the UNC-36 reporter was observed in mechanosensory neurons, as well as a number of additional unidentified neurons in the head and tail. GFP expression was observed in ALM, AVM, BDU, and SDQR. Also identified in the tail neurons PVQ, PVC, DVC, and DVA. PLM, ALN, and PHB were probable, but not certain. In the head GFP was expressed in ASE, AVA, SIBDL, RMDVL, ASK, and a number of unidentified neurons. Expression was also observed in PVM and SDQL.
