WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00006803 Gene Name  unc-70
Sequence Name  ? K11C4.3 Brief Description  unc-70 encodes two isoforms of a beta-spectrin ortholog required for normal body curvature and shape, normal movement, and correct localization of the alpha-spectrin SPC-1; the predominant UNC-70 isoform is expressed in all embryonic cells except the intestine, at the plasma membrane at sites of intercellular contact; UNC-70 becomes largely restricted to muscles and neurons from hatching to adulthood, with expression in adult spermetheca and hypodermis as well; conversely, the minor isoform is predominantly expressed in gut, and is also apposed to intercellular membrane junctions in embryos; sma-1 mutations (which impair the one beta-H-spectrin ortholog in C. elegans) enhance the unc-70 phenotype; UNC-70 is dispensable for viability (under undemanding laboratory culture conditions).
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Involved in several processes, including dendrite development; embryonic body morphogenesis; and muscle cell cellular homeostasis. Located in cell junction; contractile muscle fiber; and lateral plasma membrane. Expressed in hermaphrodite gonad and vulval cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 14; hereditary spherocytosis type 2; and spinocerebellar ataxia type 5. Is an ortholog of human SPTB (spectrin beta, erythrocytic).

  Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression in L1 neural cells comparing to in adult neural cells. DESeq2 (v1.18.1) fold change > 2, P-adj<0.05, using BenjaminiHochberg correction. WBPaper00060811:L1_vs_adult_upregulated_neural
  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.

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.

  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

    Expr14823   The endogenous SPC-1 and UNC-70 protein in the knock in animals distribute to the cell membrane, which is in agreement with the localization pattern observed using immunofluorescence or GFP transgenesis.
    Expr13844   In adults, the spectrin cytoskeleton, composed of UNC-70/beta and SPC-1/ is most prominent at lateral cell junctions extending from the apical junction marker, AJM-1, to the basal surface. There is also a thinner layer of spectrin at the basal cell surface that overlaps with the basal, contractile, actomyosin bundles. This localization pattern is observed in young adult animals prior to the first ovulation and is maintained throughout adulthood.
