WormMine: Gene WBGene00006781

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00006781
• Gene Name: unc-45
• Sequence Name: F30H5.1
• Brief Description: unc-45 encodes a conserved, muscle-specific protein that contains an N-terminal TRP (tetratricopeptide repeat) and a C-terminal UCS (UNC-45-CRO1-She4p) domain; during body wall muscle development, UNC-45 activity is essential for proper thick filament formation and sarcomere organization; in addition, maternally provided UNC-45 is required for embryonic polarity, cytokinesis, and germline cellularization; in regulating muscle development, UNC-45 acts, as both a chaperone and an HSP-90 cochaperone, to control type II myosin folding and assembly into thick filaments; in regulating polarity, cytokinesis and germline cellularization, maternal UNC-45 is essential for normal functioning of the NMY-2 non-muscle myosin II; UNC-45 can physically interact with myosin, Hsp90, and NMY-2; UNC-45 levels, and hence activity, are controlled by a novel E3/E4-multiubiquitylation complex containing CDC-48, UFD-2, and CHN-1; in muscle cells, UNC-45 colocalizes with myosin heavy chain B to thick filaments; in the embryo, UNC-45 colocalizes with NMY-2 at the cell cortex and the cleavage furrow; UNC-45 localization at the cell cortex and cleavage furrow is dependent upon NMY-2.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Enables identical protein binding activity; protein folding chaperone; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chaperone-mediated protein folding; egg-laying behavior; and sarcomere organization. Located in cell cortex and cleavage furrow. Expressed in body wall musculature and non-striated muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 43 and myofibrillar myopathy 11. Is an ortholog of human UNC45B (unc-45 myosin chaperone B).

	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.

heat-shock hlh-1	Genes enriched in HLH-1 heat shock dataset.

9 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr2733
• Pattern: UNC-45 function. In this transgenic line, GFP expression is detected in all muscle cells examined, including body wall muscle cells, pharyngeal muscle cells, anal-intestinal muscle cells, gonad sheath muscle cells, and sex-specific muscle cells in both males and hermaphrodites. This supports a general role of UNC-45 in development and function of all muscles.
• Subcellular Localization: The GFP expression pattern resembles the pattern of A-bands of thick filaments. To confirm this, the same field was examined under polarized light microscopy and an identical pattern was seen. This indicates that functional UNC-45::GFP is associated with thick filaments in body wall muscles.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2036014
• 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: Expr1032853
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr1270
• Pattern: The reporter genes are detectable in the adult in the body wall muscle cells, in the pharyngeal muscle cells, in the sex-specific muscle cells (e.g., vulval muscles in hermaphrodites and diagonal muscles of the male tail) and in the anal muscles. Expression is also found in the embryos at the comma to two-fold stage, when muscle lattices are being assembled. beta-galactosidase staining from the lacZ fusion is detected in a small number of cells slightly earlier in development but the identity of these cells has not yet been determined. Expression is not seen in the gonads.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2734
• Pattern: Subcellular localization studied in body wall muscle.
• Subcellular Localization: UNC-45 expression pattern overlaps the MHC B(unc-54) expression pattern(expressed in two polar regions of thick filaments), leaving an unstained central gap, whereas MHC A(myo-3) expression is localized in the central part of the A-bands and overlaps only slightly bilaterally with UNC-45.

• Primary Identifier: Expr3114
• Subcellular Localization: NMY-2 and UNC-45 are concentrated at the cell cortex, and the staining patterns are largely coincident (although there are slight differences in intensity). Cortex staining for UNC-45 is apparent both where a fluorescent secondary antibody is used, and where UNC-45 antisera is directly labeled with a fluorescent marker (data not shown). Therefore, the two proteins colocalize in vivo, supporting the two-hybrid evidence that they may physically interact.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2017878
• 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.
