WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00011910 Gene Name  alg-3
Sequence Name  ? T22B3.2 Brief Description  alg-3 encodes an Argonaute (AGO) protein that is a member of the AGO clade of Argonaute small RNA-binding proteins; together with its paralog, alg-4, alg-3 is required for normal brood sizes at elevated temperatures, specifically for the process of spermiogenesis in which spermatids are converted to mobile ameboid sperm; alg-3/4 is also required for accumulation of male germline-specific 26G-RNAs, suggesting that alg-3/4 mediate thermotolerant fertility via a 26G-RNA-mediated pathway; a GFP::ALG-3 rescuingfusion protein is expressed in germ cells during spermatogenesis and localizes to the cytoplasm and to P granules.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Predicted to enable RNA endonuclease activity and single-stranded RNA binding activity. Involved in spermatogenesis. Located in P granule. Expressed in germ line.
Biotype  SO:0001217 Genetic Position  IV :5.2246±

  Genes with expression altered >= 3-fold in dpy-10(e128) mutants. Data across the wild type series was analyzed using the Significance analysis of Microarrays (SAM) algorithm (to calculate the False Discovery Rate (FDR)). WBPaper00035873:dpy-10_regulated
  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.

  Genes with expression level regulated by genotype (N2 vs CB4856) at L3 larva and Late reproduction stage (96 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_regulated_developing

Set 1 transcripts were defined as P-value < 0.05 and fold change > 2. DESeq was used. Fold change between the average of the four control replicates and the average of the four test replicates was used to calculate the significance using a negative binomial distribution. An adjusted P-value was calculated using the Benjamini-Hochberg method for multiple testing correction. WBPaper00046805:P-granule-RNAi_upregulated_Set1
  Genes that showed significantly increased expression in daf-2(e1370);hel-1(gk148684) comparing to in hel-1(gk148684) To identify DEGs, Students t test and the log2 median ratio test were performed to compute t values and median ratios for all the annotated genes. The adjusted P values from each test were computed using an empirical distribution of the null hypothesis, which was obtained from random permutations of the samples. Finally, the adjusted P values from the individual tests were combined to compute the overall P values using Stouffers method , and genes with overall P < 0.05 and fold change > 1.5 were selected as DEGs.

Picture: Fig S3D.   Expr8897 The developmental expression profile of alg-3 mRNA mirrored that of GFP::ALG-3 protein expression and was enriched in male-enriched populations and depleted in female populations.  
Picture: Fig. 2, Fig S3A, S3B.   Expr8896   In GFP::alg-3 hermaphrodites and males, GFP expression was observed in the proximal germline beginning at the L4 stage, coincident with the onset of spermatogenesis. In adult hermaphrodites, after the switch to oogenesis, GFP::ALG-3 expression was restricted to the spermatheca. Within the spermatheca, in hermaphrodites and testis in males, GFP::ALG-3 was localized within residual bodies, which are enucleate cytoplasts produced by the budding off of mature spermatids at the end of meiosis II. Little if any GFP::ALG-3 could be detected in mature spermatids. As expected, the proximal expression of GFP::ALG-3 continued through adulthood in males. Within the developing spermatocytes, GFP::ALG-3 was first apparent in the postpachytene germline before the point where chromosomes appear to aggregate into a single mass. GFP signal was localized throughout the cytoplasm and enriched at perinuclear foci coincident with P granules based on colocalization with RFP::PGL-1.
