• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00045215
• Gene Name: ceh-63
• Sequence Name: C02F12.10
• Brief Description: ceh-63 encodes a homeobox protein of uncertain affinity, but with some similarity to vertebrate Hox3 proteins and the D. melanogster homeobox protein ROUGH; ceh-63 is expressed in a single tail neuron of hermaphrodites from late embryo to adult stages, as well as in a uterus cell separate from the vulva (perhaps in the spermetheca).
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Expressed in ganglia; head; tail; uterus; and in male.

Osmotic stress	Transcripts that showed significantly altered expression with 500 mM salt (NaCl) vs 100 mM salt when food was present	DESeq(version 1.10.1), FDR < 0.05.	WBPaper00050726:OsmoticStress_regulated_Food
	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.

	Coexpression clique No. 235, W01F3.2_1554-Y106G6D.8, on the genome-wide coexpression clique map for the nematode GPL200 platform.	All available microarray datasets for the GPL200 platform (Affymetrix C. elegans Genome Array) were obtained from the GEO repository. This included 2243 individual microarray experiments. These were normalized against each other with the software RMAexpress (Bolstad, 2014). Based on these normalized values, Pearsons correlation coefficients were obtained for each probe-probe pair of the 22,620 probes represented on this array type. The resulting list of correlation coefficients was then ranked to generate the ranked coexpression database with information on each probe represented on the GPL200 platform.

9 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr2009899
• 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: Expr7408
• Remark: Clone: pUL#JRH10H1
• Pattern: Expression observed from late embryo to adult in a single nerve in the tail with processes extending ventrally to the nerve ring in the head. Also expression observed in one of the uterus cells, not adjacent to vulva.

• Primary Identifier: Expr9877
• Reporter Gene: [CEH-63::gfp] translational fusion.
• Pattern: CEH-63 expression was observed in DVC and the uterus. The GFP signal was localized to the cell nuclei, presumably due to the DNA binding activity of the transcription factor taking the fusion protein to the nucleus. The nuclear localization allowed identification of the uterine cells expressing the CEH-63 C-terminal GFP fusion as ut2 and ut3. This identification was made in young adults after uterine development was complete. Although no extra expression was observed for the N-terminal fusion, for the C-terminal fusion there was also reliable expression in 6-10 nuclei in the head region and at a similar level to that in DVC. There was also weak but frequent expression of the C-terminal fusion in two other unidentified nuclei, posterior to DVC, in the hermaphrodite tail. CEH-63 expression was observed in DVC and the uterus. The GFP signal was localized to the cell nuclei, presumably due to the DNA binding activity of the transcription factor taking the fusion protein to the nucleus. The nuclear localization allowed identification of the uterine cells expressing the CEH-63 C-terminal GFP fusion as ut2 and ut3. This identification was made in young adults after uterine development was complete. Although no extra expression was observed for the N-terminal fusion, for the C-terminal fusion there was also reliable expression in 6-10 nuclei in the head region and at a similar level to that in DVC. There was also weak but frequent expression of the C-terminal fusion in two other unidentified nuclei, posterior to DVC, in the hermaphrodite tail.

• Primary Identifier: Expr9876
• Reporter Gene: [ceh-63prom::gfp] transcriptional fusion. The reporter fusion in pUL#JRH10H1 contained the entire 562 bp upstream intergenic region from the ceh-63 translation initiation codon to the termination codon of C02F12.4. --precise ends.
• Pattern: In males, in addition to DVC which was seen consistently, up to 4 other cells in the tail expressed ceh-63prom::gfp. Expression in these additional cells started from the end of the L4 stage, and strengthened into the adult, but was inconsistent. In some of the males, one or 2 expressing cells, in addition to DVC, had GFP labelled axons extending into the ventral nerve cord. In others, the GFP in the additional cells was much weaker and appeared limited to the cell body. Among 26 specifically examined, 3, 6, 9, 6 and 2 males had DVC plus 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 additional cells, respectively. Because the expression was highly variable and GFP was not shown in earlier stages, specific cell identities were not determined.

• Primary Identifier: Expr9875
• Reporter Gene: [ceh-63prom::gfp] transcriptional fusion. The reporter fusion in pUL#JRH10H1 contained the entire 562 bp upstream intergenic region from the ceh-63 translation initiation codon to the termination codon of C02F12.4. --precise ends.
• Pattern: ceh-63prom::gfp expression was observed clearly in a single neuron in the tail ganglion in hermaphrodites. We identified this cell as the interneuron DVC by differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy.Expression of ceh-63prom::gfp in DVC can be detected in embryos from the comma stage, shortly after DVC is born at about 340 min after the first cell division and continues throughout the life of the animal. Expression was also observed in uterine wall cells but since the GFP was spread throughout the cells the exact cell identities were difficult to identify with this reporter gene fusion.
