WormMine: Gene WBGene00020887

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00020887
• Gene Name: hic-1
• Sequence Name: T28B4.4
• Brief Description: T28B4.4 encodes a claudin homolog that may be required for normal cohesion of apical junctions in epithelia; T28B4.4 is worm-specific, weakly similar to CLC-1; T28B4.4 has no obvious function in mass RNAi assays; claudins are integral membrane proteins with four transmembrane sequences that are found in mammalian tight junctions (TJs), induce TJs when transgenically expressed in cells normally lacking them, and can mediate the specific conductance of of specific ions (e.g., magnesium or calcium) through TJs while blocking the flow of water.

	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.

6 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr14244
• Pattern: The hic-1 promoter expression was seen in the head, in the tail, and along the nerve cord of the animals. hic-1 expression was also observed in cholinergic neurons.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2024815
• 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: Expr1020454
• Pattern: Developmental gene expression time-course. Raw data can be downloaded from ftp://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/levin2012

• Primary Identifier: Expr14245
• Pattern: We detected a co-localization of the translational reporter of HIC-1 with the SNB-1 protein in cholinergic neurons but not in GABA neurons and in cholinergic synapses but again not in GABAergic synapses. These data suggest that HIC-1 is localized at the presynaptic termini of cholinergic neurons. We also looked at the expression of HIC-1 in body-wall muscles and found that HIC-1 did not appear to be expressed in body-wall muscles.
