WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00012156 Gene Name  ebp-2
Sequence Name  ? VW02B12L.3 Brief Description  ebp-2 encodes an RP/EB-type microtubule-binding protein orthologous to human MAPRE1 (OMIM:603108), MAPRE2 (OMIM:605789), MAPRE3 (OMIM:605788), and paralogous to EBP-1/-3; EBP-2 binds the plus ends of growing microtubules; by orthology, the N-terminal calponin homology domain of EBP-2 is predicted to bind microtubules (MTs), while the C-terminal region of EBP-2 is predicted to contain a dimerization domain and a site for binding protein ligands that activate EBP-2's MT-binding; ebp-2(RNAi) animals have no obvious phenotypes, perhaps because of genetic redundancy with ebp-1 and ebp-3.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Predicted to enable microtubule plus-end binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein localization to microtubule; regulation of microtubule polymerization or depolymerization; and spindle assembly. Located in several cellular components, including kinetochore; microtubule cytoskeleton; and non-motile cilium. Expressed in several structures, including hypodermis; nervous system; and ventral nerve cord.

  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
  Transcripts that showed differential expression between 24 and 26 hours post hatching L2d and dauer committed larvae of daf-9(dh6), triggered by the dafachronic acid (DA) growth hormone. Cluster 3 genes increased expression transiently at 26 hour post hatching. Benjamini Hochberg corrected q-value < 0.01. WBPaper00053388:dauer_regulated_Cluster3
  Genes with increased RNA expression after 24 hours rotenone treatment EdgeR provides statistical routines for determining differential expression in digital gene expression data using a model based on the negative binomial distribution. The resulting p-values were adjusted using the Benjamini and Hochbergs approach for controlling the false discovery rate (FDR). Transcripts with an adjusted p-value smaller 0.05 were assigned as differentially expressed. WBPaper00044426:rotenone_24h_upregulated
  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.

Cuffcompare and Cuffdiff WBPaper00056090:E.faecalis_downregulated_hpx-2(dg047)
  Germline-intrinsic transcripts. Comparisons were made between genotypes by subtracting the mean log value of one ratio from another, and the significance of the difference was evaluated using Student t-test for two populations. For the fem-3(gf) versus fem-1(lf) direct comparison, authors performed the same analysis, except they used a Students t-test for one population. Author chose a combination of a twofold difference with a t value exceeding 99% confidence (P < 0.01), because these criteria allowed the inclusion of essentially all genes that had previously been identified as germline-enriched in a wt/glp-4 hermaphrodite comparison. Additionally, requiring a twofold difference reduced false positives, as the number of genes with two-fold difference and a P<0.01 only included ~100 genes more than with P < 0.001, and almost all genes showed germline expression by in situ hybridization.

  TGF- Dauer pathway adult transcriptional targets.

  Genes expressed in N2. Expressed transcripts were identified on the basis of a Present call in 3 out of 4 N2 experiments as determined by Affymetrix MAS 5.0. WBPaper00025141:N2_Expressed_Genes
  Embryonic class (E): genes that significantly increase in abundance at some point during embryogenesis. 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_E

    Expr3660   Expressed at the plus-end tips of growing microtubules.
    Expr3661   Small dots of fluorescence were observed moving away from centrosomes. In addition to the moving fluorescent dots, a strong fluorescence signal was observed throughout the centrosomal region, likely indicating a large population of growing microtubules very near the centrosome. To test whether EBP-2 localization to centrosomes was microtubule dependent, EBP-2::GFP fluorescence was examined after RNAi of alpha- and beta-tubulin. Two classes of embryos were observed : those that contained a very low albeit detectable EBP-2::GFP signal at the centrosome (5/12), and those that had no obvious foci of EBP-2::GFP fluorescence (7/12). In all cases where EBP-2 was detected, short EBP-2::GFP tracks quickly disappeared less than one micron from the centrosome. Therefore, the EBP-2::GFP signal is dependent on growing microtubules.
