WormMine: Gene WBGene00022817

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00022817
• Gene Name: upp-1
• Sequence Name: ZK783.2
• Brief Description: upp-1 encodes the C. elegans uridine phosphorylase ortholog; loss of upp-1 activity results in resistance to the anticancer pyrimidine analog 5-fluorouracil (5-FU); in vitro, UPP-1 exhibits both uridine and thymidine phosphorylase activity.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Enables thymidine phosphorylase activity and uridine phosphorylase activity. Involved in thymidine metabolic process; uracil catabolic process; and uridine catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Expressed in gonad; hypodermis; pharynx; and spermatheca. Is an ortholog of human UPP1 (uridine phosphorylase 1) and UPP2 (uridine phosphorylase 2).

	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 of coding genes that showed significantly decreased expression in muscle.	DESeq2 (version 1.24.0). Transcripts with a false-discovery rate adjusted p-value less than 0.05 were considered significantly differentially expressed.	WBPaper00062325:muscle_depleted_coding-RNA
	Transcripts expressed in neuronal cells, by analyzingfluorescence-activated cell sorted (FACS) neurons.	DESeq. False discovry rate (FDR) < 0.1.	WBPaper00048988:neuron_expressed
adult vs dauer larva	Transcripts that showed differential expression in adult vs dauer lava in N2 animals at 20C.	N.A.	WBPaper00050488:adult_vs_dauer_regulated_N2_20C
	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.

	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
	mRNAs that showed differential expression in activated AAK-2(uthIs202[aak-2 (intron 1)::aak-2(aa1-aa321)::Tomato::unc-54 3'UTR + rol-6(su1006)]), activiated CRTC-1 (uthEx222[crtc-1p::crtc-1 cDNA (S76S, S179A)::tdTomato::unc-54 3'UTR + rol-6(su1006)]), or AAK-2;CRTC-1 comparing to in N2.	Genes were tested for differential expression between each mutant strain and wild-type using edgeRs glm method. Briefly, negative binomial models were fitted and dispersion estimates obtained. These were then used to calculate average levels of change between conditions and determine differential expression, using the generalized linear model likelihood ratio test. For each comparison, genes with less than 5 CPM were filtered and those with at least 50% change and False Discovery Rate (FDR) of 1% or less were considered differentially expressed.

	Strictly maternal class (SM): genes that are the subset of maternal genes that are not also classified as embryonic.	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_SM

	Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression in cco-1(RNAi) comparing to in vector control animals.	The limma package47 was used for differential expression.
