WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00006801 Gene Name  unc-68
Sequence Name  ? K11C4.5 Brief Description  unc-68 encodes a ryanodine receptor ortholog that is expressed in body-wall muscle cells and is required for normal body tension and locomotion; unc-68 mutants are flaccid, sluggish, and resistant to ryanodine, but have normal muscle ultrastructure; UNC-68 is dispensable for excitation-contraction coupling itself, but may amplify its calcium signals; the unc-68/kra-1(kh30) mutation is an S1444N substitution at a putative protein kinase C phosphorylation site; UNC-68 reduced unc-103(sy557)-induced spicule protraction by one half; unc-68 is orthologous to the human genes RYR1 (OMIM:180901, mutated in malignant hyperthermia and central core disease), RYR2 (OMIM:180902, mutated in stress-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia), and RYR3 (OMIM:180903).
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and ryanodine-sensitive calcium-release channel activity. Involved in locomotion; positive regulation of programmed cell death; and protein localization to organelle. Located in I band and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Expressed in body wall musculature; intestine; neurons; and non-striated muscle. Used to study congenital myopathy 1A and malignant hyperthermia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 1; gestational diabetes; and muscle tissue disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human RYR1 (ryanodine receptor 1); RYR2 (ryanodine receptor 2); and RYR3 (ryanodine receptor 3).

  Genes that were upregulated in lin-15B(n744). For each gene in each microarray hybridization experiment, the ratio of RNA levels from the two samples was transformed into a log2 value and the mean log2 ratio was calculated. The log2 ratios were normalized by print-tip Loess normalization (Dudoit and Yang, 2002). All genes with a false discovery rate of <= 5% (q <= 0.05) (Storey and Tibshirani, 2003) and a mean fold-change ratio of >= 1.5 were selected for further analysis.

For log2 fold changes > 0.00001 the values > 81.25th percentile were defined as up-regulated and for log2 fold changes < -0.00001 the values < 18.75th percentile were defined as down-regulated.

  Genes with expression level regulated by genotype (N2 vs CB4856) and age at old adults stage (214 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_aging

  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

12 Expression Patterns

Remark Reporter Gene Primary Identifier Pattern Subcellular Localization
    Expr13672 The ryr-1 gene generates transcripts from two promoters. Reporter constructs demonstrated that the upstream promoter is expressed in muscle, whereas the downstream promoter is expressed in neurons.  
    Expr13673 The ryr-1 gene generates transcripts from two promoters. Reporter constructs demonstrated that the upstream promoter is expressed in muscle, whereas the downstream promoter is expressed in neurons.  
    Expr1620 ryr-1 is expressed in body-wall and pharyngeal muscles and in non-muscle cells. Beta-galactosidase activity detected in body-wall and pharyngeal muscle cells. Deletion of 3.3 kb of 5H-upstream sequence resulted in expression in non-muscle cells such as neuron and intestine (pRRZ462). Non-muscle expression was observed in constructs containing a short (less than 1470 bp) 5H-upstream sequence. Two regions appear to be required for body-wall muscle expression. Expression in younger animals was much higher than that in adults.  
    Expr2036034 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.

    Expr1032869 Tiling arrays expression graphs  
Reporter gene fusion type not specified.   Expr1255 GFP fluorescence is observed in several muscle cell types of the transformants, including body-wall muscle cells, terminal bulb muscles of the pharynx, vulval and uterine muscle, diagonal muscles of the male tail, the anal sphincter muscle, and anal depressor muscles. GFP expression is variably observed in unidentified neurons in the head. GFP expression first observed in body-wall and pharyngeal muscle cells in 1.5-fold embryos, approximately the time when twitching of embryonic body wall muscles begins. The corpus muscles of the pharynx did not express GFP.  
The tissue-specific expression of unc-68 protein suggested by antibody staining was confirmed by a gfp-fusion construct. The results of unc-68::gfp expression and immunostaining experiments strongly suggest that CeRyR is present only in muscles. See Expr2281 for GFP result.   Expr2280 The R16 antibody stained muscle cells of wild-type from the comma stage to the 3-fold stage, but not those of x14 animals. The R16 antibody staining appeared at the later comma stage and became strong at the 1.5-fold stage, when the muscle starts twitching, and continued to the adult stage. Although background staining from the early embryo to pre-comma stages was also observed in the cytoplasm of whole cells, this staining was not different between wild-type and x14 animals. The R16 antibody stained the body wall, pharyngeal, vulval and the anal muscles of adult hermaphrodites and male tail muscles in wild-type, but not in unc-68(x14) animals. The identity of these muscle tissues was confirmed by double-staining with rhodaminephalloidin. Among the anal muscles, the R16 antibody stained the depressor muscle but did not stain the sphincter muscle. The R16 antibody also stained pharyngeal muscles, especially those in the terminal bulb and isthmus. The staining pattern in body wall muscle was observed to be of a series of small dots. Because the antiserum stained in the intestines of both wild-type and unc-68(x14) animals, the intestinal staining is likely to represent the cross-reaction of the R16 antibody with unknown proteins.  
The tissue-specific expression of unc-68 protein suggested by antibody staining was confirmed by a gfp-fusion construct. The results of unc-68::gfp expression and immunostaining experiments strongly suggest that CeRyR is present only in muscles. See Expr2280 for antibody staining results.   Expr2281 The unc-68::gfp transgene was expressed in most muscles, but not in intestine and neurons. GFP was expressed in most muscle cells, including those of the pharynx, where expression was clearly seen in the terminal bulb and isthmus. However, GFP expression was not detected in the anal sphincter muscle. This may be due to the length of upstream sequence used in the transgenes. The additional 2.2 kb of 5' upstream sequence included in the transgene may contain a regulatory element important for proper unc-68 expression.
