WormMine: Gene WBGene00000491

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00000491
• Gene Name: che-12
• Sequence Name: B0024.8
• Brief Description: che-12 encodes a conserved protein orthologous to the mammalian protein Crescerin1 encoded by the gene FAM179B (KIAA0423); CHE-12 activity is required continuously in sensory neurons for formation of distal ciliary segments and thus, for normal sensory cilium morphology and function and chemotaxis to a subset of attractants, including sodium chloride; CHE-12 contains four TOG domains whose tubulin-binding activity is essential for proper cilia structure and function; a che-12::gfp promoter fusion is expressed in the two phasmid neurons and the subset of amphid neurons that contain relatively simple cilia; a CHE-12::GFP protein localizes to cilia in a manner suggesting that it requires intraflagellar transport for proper localization, but is unlikely to be a core IFT particle component; che-12 expression in ciliated neurons is dependent upon the presence of the DAF-19 RFX transcription factor.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chemotaxis; cilium assembly; and hyperosmotic response. Located in cilium; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Expressed in amphid neurons and phasmid neurons. Used to study ciliopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Joubert syndrome. Is an ortholog of human TOGARAM1 (TOG array regulator of axonemal microtubules 1) and TOGARAM2 (TOG array regulator of axonemal microtubules 2).

7 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr2009961
• 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: Expr1030289
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr8175
• Remark: Picture: Figure 4A, 4B. To confirm the identification of the che-12-expressing cells, authors generated wild-type animals bearing two transgenes, a che-12 pro::mCherry reporter and an osm-6 pro::GFP reporter, which is expressed in most or all ciliated neurons. Overlap of expression was only seen in amphid and phasmid neurons.
• Pattern: Inspection of three independent che-12 pro::GFP transgenic lines showed that che-12 is expressed in only the subset of amphid neurons that lack wing- or finger-like ciliary extensions and in the two phasmid neurons.

• Primary Identifier: Expr12476
• Pattern: CHE-12 localizes to cilia in amphid and phasmid neurons.
