WormMine: Gene WBGene00000294

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00000294
• Gene Name: cas-1
• Sequence Name: F41G4.2
• Brief Description: cas-1 encodes the C. elegans homologue of the adenylyl cyclase-associated protein 1 (CAP1); as loss of cas-1 activity via large-scale RNAi screens results in no obvious defects, the precise role of cas-1 in C. elegans development and/or behavior is not yet known.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable actin binding activity and adenylate cyclase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in actin filament organization; cAMP-mediated signaling; and cell morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Expressed in body wall musculature; intestine; neurons; pharynx; and spermatheca. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy and pancreatic cancer. Is an ortholog of human CAP1 (cyclase associated actin cytoskeleton regulatory protein 1) and CAP2 (cyclase associated actin cytoskeleton regulatory protein 2).

	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.

	Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (L2 all cell 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.

• 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.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1030191
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr10060
• Pattern: In embryos, CAS-1 was specifically expressed in the body wall muscle as early as the 1.5-fold stage (~420 min-old). CAS-1 was concentrated to a region where MYO-3 had been assembled into myofibrils. At the two-fold stage (~450-min old), CAS-1 remained associated with well-organized myofibrils, as indicated by the linear arrangement of MYO-3. Throughout the embryonic stages, expression of CAS-1 was specific in the body wall muscle, and no other embryonic tissues expressed detectable levels of CAS-1. In adult worms, CAS-1 was expressed in the body wall muscle, the pharynx, the neurons, the intestine, and the spermatheca.
• Subcellular Localization: In the adult body wall muscle, CAS-1 localized in a striated pattern indicating that it was associated with sarcomeres. Interestingly, CAS-1 only partially overlapped with bands of actin. Instead, strong striated staining of CAS-1 overlapped with MYO-3 that is enriched in the M-lines within the thick filaments. The enrichment of CAS-1 in the M-line was confirmed by colocalization with UNC-89, a specific marker of the M-lines. Relatively weakly stained spots of CAS-1 were present, but these did not co-localize with vinculin or alpha-actinin, indicating that CAS-1 did not localize to dense bodies, which are equivalent to the Z-discs in mammalian striated muscle.
