WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00001184 Gene Name  egl-15
Sequence Name  ? F58A3.2 Brief Description  egl-15 encodes the sole C. elegans fibroblast growth factor receptor and is orthologous to the vertebrate FGFRs (FGFR1-4); egl-15 is required for several processes including fluid homeostasis and sex myoblast (SM) migration, which is essential for proper development of the egg-laying system; phosphorylation of the SAX-7 L1CAM is dependent upon EGL-15 activity and inhibits colocalization of SAX-7 with the ankyrin UNC-44; EGL-15 activators include the FGF-like signaling molecules EGL-17 and LET-756; EGL-15 negative regulators include CLR-1, a receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Enables protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including egg-laying behavior; muscle cell cellular homeostasis; and nematode larval development. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Expressed in head neurons; hypodermis; intestine; male sex myoblast; and vulval muscle. Used to study bone disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; bone disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); and hematologic cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human FGFR2 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 2).

Regulated By Treatment Description Algorithm Primary Identifier
  Transcripts of coding genes that showed significantly decreased expression in muscle. DESeq2 (version 1.24.0). Transcripts with a false-discovery rate adjusted p-value less than 0.05 were considered significantly differentially expressed. WBPaper00062325:muscle_depleted_coding-RNA
  Transcripts expressed in neuronal cells, by analyzingfluorescence-activated cell sorted (FACS) neurons. DESeq. False discovry rate (FDR) < 0.1. WBPaper00048988:neuron_expressed
adult vs dauer larva Transcripts that showed differential expression in adult vs dauer lava in N2 animals at 20C. N.A. WBPaper00050488:adult_vs_dauer_regulated_N2_20C
  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. WBPaper00037950:bodywall-muscle_L1-larva_expressed
Bacteria: E.faecalis strain OG1RF Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression after infection by E. faecalis OG1RF. Ballgown was used to calculate differential expression of genes using FPKM data and to generate tables with fold change and P values. Genes were shortlisted with a cutoff of 2-fold change and P values of less than 0.05. WBPaper00059754:E.faecalis_OG1RF_upregulated
  Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression glp-1(e2141); TU3401 animals comparing to in TU3401 animals. Fold change > 2, FDR < 0.01. WBPaper00065993:glp-1(e2141)_upregulated
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.

  Transcripts expressed in seam cells, according to PAT-Seq analysis using Pgrd-10-GFP-3XFLAG mRNA tagging. Cufflinks FPKM value >=1. WBPaper00050990:seam_expressed
  Genes with expression level regulated by genotype (N2 vs CB4856) at old adults stage (214 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_regulated_aging

The adjusted P values from each test were computed using an empirical distribution of the null hypothesis, which was obtained from random permutations of the samples. Finally, the adjusted P values from the individual tests were combined to compute the overall P values using Stouffers method , and genes with overall P < 0.05 and fold change > 1.5 were selected as DEGs.

Remark Reporter Gene Primary Identifier Pattern Subcellular Localization
    Expr1030757 Tiling arrays expression graphs  
Anatomy_term: migrating sex myoblast. Picture: Figure 1, S1.   Expr8096 EGL-15(5B) is primarily expressed in the hypodermis, EGL-15(5A) is primarily expressed in the M lineage. Moreover, expression analysis of these isoforms across development revealed that 5A is present in the M lineage at all stages  
Clone = pUL#L428A Other strain-- UL904 Strain = UL903 Updated sequence connections   Expr2119 Expression is first seen in a few cells in embryos just after comma stage. In older embryos and young larvae expression is seen in hypodermal and intestinal cells throughout the worm. In L4 larvae and adult worms expression is seen in the vm1 and vm2 vulval muscles.  
A similar pattern of EGL-15 expression has been observed for many other arrays containing transgenic egl-15 constructs. The expression in the hypodermis is very similar to that observed in Pe15*2::GFP animals, in which expression was observed in the major hypodermis but was excluded from the seam cells. A similar expression pattern can be observed in rescued egl-15(null) animals expressing an egl-15 transgene driven by a hypodermal promoter (Prol-6 and Pdpy-7). Hypodermal expression of EGL-15 is also reported in animals expressing Pegl-15::lacZ, consistent with the antibody staining in this paper. Endogenous EGL-15 was not detected in wild-type animals, probably due to the low-level expression of the endogenous receptor. Therefore, a strain overexpressing a chromosomally integrated egl-15(+) array (ayIs29) was generated , and immunofluorescence staining was performed on this strain using affinity-purified anti-EGL-15 antibodies.   Expr2943 EGL-15 expression was observed in hypodermal cells as well as the sex myoblasts, the type I vulval muscles and some unidentified neurons in the head . The staining is specific to EGL-15, since no signal is observed with secondary antibody alone. Hypodermal expression is obvious throughout all four larval stages, with stronger expression in the early larval stages.  
Lineage expression: expressed in sex myoblast and descendents in later larva stages.   Expr2950 egl-15::gfp expression in larval stage animals is observed in the hypodermis but not in axons. Expression can also be observed in the sex myoblasts and their descendents during later larval stages. egl-15 localizes to the membrane of hypodermal cells.
    Expr15862 EGL-15 could be detected at vulval muscles of adult hermaphrodites expressing wild type egl-15.
