WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00000902 Gene Name  daf-6
Sequence Name  ? F31F6.5 Brief Description  daf-6 encodes a Patched-related protein; daf-6 is required for amphid channel morphogenesis and thus, also for normal morphology of the outer labial sensilla; specifically, daf-6 is required for restricting the amphid sensory compartment diameter; daf-6 mutants display defects in several neuron-mediated functions including dauer larvae formation, chemotaxis, osmotic avoidance, male mating, negative regulation of lifespan, negative regulation of the neuron ASJ's axonal growth late in development, and dye uptake by amphids and phasmids; a DAF-6::GFP is expressed in the amphid sheath and socket cells and in the excretory canal.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; positive regulation of dauer larval development; and regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle and plasma membrane. Expressed in several structures, including cuticle; excretory system; interfacial epithelial cell; neurons; and vulval cell. Is an ortholog of human PTCHD3 (patched domain containing 3 (gene/pseudogene)).

  Genes regulated by DAF-12, according to whole transcriptome profiling to compare genome-wide regulatory influences of DPY-21 and SET-4 to those of the key transcription factors controlling dauer arrest in eak-7;akt-1 animals, DAF-16 and DAF-12. Authors identified genes differentially expressed between wild-type and eak-7;akt-1 double mutant animals [fold change >= 1.5 and false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05]. Authors then compared the transcriptomes of eak-7;akt-1 double mutants to those of eak-7;akt-1 animals harboring mutations in dpy-21, set-4, daf-16, or daf-12, and identified genes that are differentially expressed in the opposite direction as in wild-type relative to eak-7;akt-1. Annotated gene expression data output from CuffDiff v2.2.1 was read into R version 3.2.1 for six comparisons: eak-7;akt-1 compared to (1) wild-type, (2) daf-16(mu86);eak-7;akt-1, (3) daf-12;eak-7;akt-1, (4) set-4(n4600);eak-7;akt-1, (5) set-4(dp268);eak-7;akt-1, and (6) dpy-21;eak-7;akt-1. Authors filtered genes by the following criteria: (1) status = OK for wild-type vs. eak-7;akt-1, (2) fold change (FC) >= 1.5 or FC <= 1/1.5 for wild-type vs. eak-7;akt-1 and (3) FDR < 0.05 for at least two separate comparisons.

    Expr3510 Pdaf-6GFP was expressed in the amphid sheath glia. Expression was also seen in amphid socket cells, the phasmid sensory organ sheath and socket cells, cells of the excretory system (the excretory canal, duct, pore, and gland cells), the vulval E and F cells, the K, K', F, and U rectal epithelial cells, and less frequently in posterior intestinal cells.  
    Expr3511   In the amphid, DAF-6::GFP fusion protein expression usually persisted only up to the L1 larval stage, and the protein localized to the region of the amphid channel formed by the sheath and socket cells. DAF-6::GFP also localized to the luminal surfaces of tubes generated by other cells expressing daf-6. As in the amphid, expression in the phasmid sheath and socket cells usually did not persist beyond the L1 larval stage. Expression in vulval cells was usually restricted to the L4 larval stage, after the cells were generated and during or shortly after the vulval lumen was generated. Expression in the rectum and excretory system was observed throughout embryogenesis and larval development, but usually not during adulthood. DAF-6::GFP protein was detected in punctate structures within the cytoplasm of expressing cells. This localization was best seen in the vulva and in the excretory canal cell. Thus, DAF-6 may localize to vesicles as well.
Picture: Fig. 5.   Expr8603 DAF-6::GFP was expressed in the sheath and socket cells, as well as in the excretory canal at all stages of animals. In dauers, DAF-6::GFP expression in these cells was dramatically reduced/eliminated, although a pair of small puncta at the tip of the sheath cells remained in some animals, and most of the animals failed dye filling. At the same time, DAF-6::GFP colocalized with a dauer-specific cuticular structure called dauer alae. DAF-6::GFP expression in the sheath and socket cells was fully restored within 24 h when dauers were allowed to recover under optimal growth conditions, coincident with recovery of dye filling.  
    Expr3897 Expressed in alae, head/tail neurons.
