WormMine: Gene WBGene00044618

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00044618
• Gene Name: bus-2
• Sequence Name: K08D12.5
• Brief Description: bus-2 encodes a predicted glycosyltransferase that contains conserved domains of core-1 beta1,3 galactosyltransferases; bus-2 is required for bacterial infection, and for fully normal cuticle integrity; specifically, bus-2 is needed both for colonization by Microbacterium nematophilum (and the tail-swelling response to M. nematophilum infection), and for attachment of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis biofilms; bus-2 mutant animals exhibit defects in core-1 O-glycan synthesis, while also showing a concomitant increase in novel fucosyl O-glycans; a bus-2::RFP reporter is expressed in the posterior intestine as well as the hypodermal seam cells and spermatheca.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable glycosyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein O-linked glycosylation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Expressed in head muscle; intestine; seam cell; and spermatheca.
• Biotype: SO:0001217
• Genetic Position: IV :-16.2479 ±0.013651

	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
	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.

Results obtained by comparing the microarray results of the dauer-constitutive mutants daf-7(e1372), daf-7(m62), and daf-1(m40) with dauer-defective mutants daf-3(mgDf90), daf-5(e1386), and daf-7(e1372);daf-3(mgDf90) double mutants at the permissive temperature, 20C, on the first day of adulthood.

5 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr2009688
• 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: Expr9274
• Pattern: bus-2 Strong expression was observed in larval and adult seam cells and also in the hermaphrodite spermatheca. Expression in the intestine was difficult to score owing to tissue autofluorescence, which interferes with detection of GFP. Therefore, an equivalent mCherry reporter was constructed and transformed into bus-2 worms. Examination of these animals confirmed the seam-cell expression and revealed significant expression in the posterior intestine, as well as in head muscles.

• Primary Identifier: Expr12846
• Pattern: bus-2 is expressed in the posterior intestine in addition to its expression in the hypodermal seam cells and spermatheca.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1153961
