WormMine: Gene WBGene00002227

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00002227
• Gene Name: klp-17
• Sequence Name: W02B12.7
• Brief Description: klp-17 encodes a C-terminal kinesin motor protein orthologous to Drosophila NCD and Saccharomyces cerevisiae KAR3; by homology, KLP-17 is predicted to function as a minus-end directed motor; loss of klp-17 activity via RNAi results in embryonic lethality generally at the one- or two-cell stage with disorganized mitotic spindles and polyploid nuclei, suggesting that KLP-17 plays a role in chromosome segregation and germline development; in situ hybridization studies reveal that klp-17 mRNA is localized specifically to cell nuclei during early development, from the one-cell stage of embryogenesis until early larval stages; a klp-17::gfp transgene did not yield detectable GFP expression, but did result in a small percentage of morphologically abnormal males and intersexual animals that grew slowly and died upon reaching maturity, consistent with a role for klp-17 in chromosome dynamics.

Regulated By Treatment	Description	Algorithm	Primary Identifier
	Genes with expression altered >= 3-fold in dpy-10(e128) mutants.	Data across the wild type series was analyzed using the Significance analysis of Microarrays (SAM) algorithm (to calculate the False Discovery Rate (FDR)).	WBPaper00035873:dpy-10_regulated
	Transcripts expressed in neuronal cells, by analyzingfluorescence-activated cell sorted (FACS) neurons.	DESeq. False discovry rate (FDR) < 0.1.	WBPaper00048988:neuron_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
	Genome-wide analysis of developmental and sex-regulated gene expression profile.	self-organizing map	cgc4489_group_18
	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
	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
	Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression in day 1 adult hermaphrodite comparing to in L4 larva fem-3(q20) animals.	Fold change > 2, FDR < 0.05	WBPaper00064088:Day-1-adult_vs_L4_upregulated_fem-3(q20)
	Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression in day 3 adult hermaphrodite comparing to in L4 larva fem-3(q20) animals.	Fold change > 2, FDR < 0.05	WBPaper00064088:Day-3-adult_vs_L4_upregulated_fem-3(q20)
	Strictly maternal class (SM): genes that are the subset of maternal genes that are not also classified as embryonic.	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_SM

Set 1 transcripts were defined as P-value < 0.05 and fold change > 2.	DESeq was used. Fold change between the average of the four control replicates and the average of the four test replicates was used to calculate the significance using a negative binomial distribution. An adjusted P-value was calculated using the Benjamini-Hochberg method for multiple testing correction.	WBPaper00046805:P-granule-RNAi_upregulated_Set1

• Primary Identifier: Expr15130

• Primary Identifier: Expr1023203
• Pattern: Developmental gene expression time-course. Raw data can be downloaded from ftp://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/levin2012

• Primary Identifier: Expr1158108
• Pattern: Developmental gene expression time-course. Raw data can be downloaded from ftp://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/hashimshony2015

• Primary Identifier: Expr982
• Remark: Several control experiments were conducted to ascertain the specificity of the klp-17 hybridization signal. Removing the klp-17 probe, and using only the bluescript vector as a probe does not stain the nuclei. On the other hand, when klp-3 cDNA, encoding for a different C-terminus kinesin was used as a probe, the hybridization signal was observed in the entire cytoplasm, with little or no signal seen in the cell nucleus.
• Pattern: klp-17 RNA is expressed quite specifically in the nucleus of the cells during C. elegans embryogenesis. The nuclear expression of klp-17 appears as early as the one-cell stage embryo, and it continues through 2-cell and 4-cell stages, very strongly. Hybridization signal remains fairly strong during subsequent development, including the cell proliferation and morphogenesis.
• Subcellular Localization: nucleus

• Primary Identifier: Expr1101
• Remark: Removing the coding region, and using only the Bluescript vector as a probe, does not show staining except a little background. As a negative control, the dpy-20 probe was used for RNA in situ hybridization and no staining in embryos was detected.
• Pattern: The expression of klp-17 is highly localized in the cell nuclei of embryos. The hybridization signal remains fairly strong during the entire development, including the cell proliferation and morphogenetic phase.
