WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00000899 Gene Name  daf-3
Sequence Name  ? F25E2.5 Brief Description  daf-3 encodes a co-SMAD protein that is most closely related to Drosophila Medea and the vertebrate Smad4 proteins; DAF-3 functions as a transcriptional regulator that is required for formation of the alternative dauer larval stage as well as for regulation of pharyngeal gene expression during non-dauer development, and normal adult lifespan; DAF-3 activity is antagonized by signaling through the DAF-7/TGF-beta pathway which promotes reproductive growth; in yeast two-hybrid studies, DAF-3 interacts with SMA-3, another Smad protein that does not appear to have a role in dauer formation; in vitro, DAF-3 binds the organ-specific C subelement in the promoter of the pharyngeal muscle-specific myosin myo-2 and in vivo, suppresses the enhancer activity of this element during larval development; a DAF-3::GFP fusion protein is expressed in many tissues that undergo remodeling during dauer development, including the gut, nervous system and pharynx; DAF-3 localizes predominantly to the cytoplasm, but is also found in the nucleus in association with mitotic chromosomes.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Enables cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to Gram-negative bacterium; determination of adult lifespan; and positive regulation of dauer larval development. Located in condensed chromosome; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including P1; P2; hermaphrodite distal tip cell; hypodermal cell; and neurons.

  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.

  TGF- Dauer pathway adult transcriptional targets. 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.

Ballgown was used to calculate differential expression of genes using FPKM data and to generate tables with fold change and P values.

  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
  Transcripts expressed in NMDA neuron, according to PAT-Seq analysis using Pnmr-1-GFP-3XFLAG mRNA tagging. Cufflinks FPKM value >=1. WBPaper00050990:NMDA-neuron_expressed
  Genes with expression level regulated by genotype (N2 vs CB4856) and age at L3 larva and Late reproduction stage (96 hours at 24 centigrade). For model 2, authors used 100 permutations to estimate the FDR threshold. Per permutation, genotypes and ages were independently randomly distributed, keeping the among-gene structure intact. Then for each spot (23,232) on the array, model 2 was tested. The obtained P-values were used to estimate a threshold for each of the explanatory factors. Authors also used a genome-wide threshold of -log10 P-value = 2, which resembles an FDR of 0.072 and 0.060 for marker and the interaction age-marker for the developing worms and FDR of 0.050 and 0.065 for marker and age-marker for the aging worms. For the physiological age effect, authors used a log10 P-value = 8 in developing worms (0.012 FDR) and -log10 P-value = 6 (0.032 FDR). WBPaper00040858:eQTL_age_regulated_developing

6 Expression Patterns

Remark Reporter Gene Primary Identifier Pattern Subcellular Localization
    Expr1030563 Tiling arrays expression graphs  
    Expr1455 Almost every transgenic animal shows strong DAF-3/GFP expression in many, but not all, head neurons, the ventral nerve cord (both cell bodies and processes), the intestinal cells, especially the membrane adjacent to the intestinal lumen, and tail hypodermal cells and neurons. Weak expression in the pharynx, hypodermal V blast cells, P blast cells and hyp7 hypodermal cells is observed in about half of the transgenic animals. Expression in the tail hypodermal cells hyp 9, hyp 10, and hyp 11 is clearly seen in nearly every animal. This apparent difference between tail hypodermal expression and main body expression may be a consequence of the anatomy of the animal. The main body hypodermis is underlain by bright GFP in the intestine and ventral nerve cord, so weak expression in the hypodermis is hard to see against this background. Expression is rarely detected in dorsal body wall muscle. DAF-3/GFP is expressed in the distal tip cells and in their precursors, Z1.a and Z4.p, throughout development. DAF-3/GFP is also expressed strongly in unidentified vulval cells in adults. In wild-type embryos of 200 to 400 cells, DAF-3/GFP is expressed uniformly thoughout the embryo. In wild type, DAF-3/GFP is primarily, although not exclusively, cytoplasmic. DAF-3/GFP subcellular distribution was examined in head neurons in the vicinity of ASI (the cell that produces the DAF-7 signal), as well as in intestinal cells. DAF-3/GFP was predominantly cytoplasmic in all animals. However, in all animals, dim GFP fluorescence was seen in the nucleus of some of the cells with bright cytoplasmic fluorescence, and in 25% of the animals, equivalent DAF-3/GFP levels in the nucleus and cytoplasm was observed in one or more cells.
