WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00000092 Gene Name  ags-3
Sequence Name  ? F32A6.4 Brief Description  ags-3 encodes a protein containing N-terminal TRP domains and C-terminal GPR domains that is a member of the Activator of G Protein Signaling 3 (AGS3) family of proteins that includes mammalian AGS3 and LPN and Drosophila RAPSYNOID; in C. elegans, AGS-3 is involved in polarity and spindle orientation during early embryogenesis; in addition, AGS-3, along with the RIC-8 guanine nucleotide exchange factor, has been shown to activate GOA-1/Galpha0 in the ASH chemosensory neurons to modulate behavior after food deprivation; full length AGS-3 binds inactive GOA-1 (GOA-1-GDP) in pull down assays, while AGS-3 fragments containing the GPR domains (also known as GoLoco domains) bind activated GOA-1 (GOA-1-GTP) in pull down assays and GOA-1 in yeast two-hybrid assays; AGS-3 is expressed in all muscles, intestine, and weakly in some head and ventral nerve cord neurons, with subcellular localization in strong dots; in adults, an ags-3 reporter fusion is seen in nearly all neurons, including the ASH chemosensory neurons, and in body wall muscle, egg-laying muscles, and pharyngeal muscles; AGS-3 subcellular localization is regulated by food deprivation: AGS-3 moves from a Triton X-100 insoluble pellet fraction to a Triton X-100 soluble pellet fraction after several hours of food deprivation.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Enables G-protein alpha-subunit binding activity. Involved in regulation of feeding behavior. Located in membrane. Expressed in several structures, including hermaphrodite gonad; intestine; muscle cell; neurons; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in sensorineural hearing loss. Is an ortholog of human GPSM1 (G protein signaling modulator 1) and GPSM2 (G protein signaling modulator 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 expressed in neuronal cells, by analyzingfluorescence-activated cell sorted (FACS) neurons. DESeq. False discovry rate (FDR) < 0.1. WBPaper00048988:neuron_expressed
  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.

Bacteria infection: Enterococcus faecalis Genes with increased expression after 24 hours of infection by E.faecalis Fold changes shown are pathogen vs OP50. For RNA-seq and tiling arrays, log2 fold changes between gene expression values of infected versus uninfected nematodes were calculated. For log2 fold changes > 0.00001 the values > 81.25th percentile were defined as up-regulated and for log2 fold changes < -0.00001 the values < 18.75th percentile were defined as down-regulated.

  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
