WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00003056 Gene Name  lon-2
Sequence Name  ? C39E6.1 Brief Description  lon-2 encodes a member of the glypican family of heparan sulfate proteoglycans; during development, lon-2 activity is required in the hypodermis for negative regulation of the DBL-1/BMP signaling pathway that regulates body length; genetic analyses indicate that lon-2 functions upstream of dbl-1, and in vitro studies show that LON-2 can bind mammalian BMP2, suggesting that LON-2 may directly interact with DBL-1 to negatively regulate DBL-1/BMP signaling; in addition to expression in hypodermis, LON-2 is expressed strongly in the intestine, particularly the anterior and posterior cells; LON-2 localizes to the cell surface.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Enables growth factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway; regulation of cell migration; and regulation of mesodermal cell fate specification. Located in cell surface. Expressed in hypodermis and intestine.

Gene expression quantification and differential expression was analyzed using cufflinks v2.2.1. Enriched contains only genes significantly enriched (differentially expressed >= 2.4 fold in total RNA or >= 3.2 fold in DSN treated total RNA) in the NSM neurons versus the reference.

  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

  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.

  Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (L2 all cell 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.

8 Expression Patterns

Remark Reporter Gene Primary Identifier Pattern Subcellular Localization
    Expr4651 GFP driven by the lon-2 promoter (3 kb of its upstream sequence) was expressed strongly in the intestine, most prominently in the most anterior and posterior cells. Expression in these regions was observed throughout development, beginning in the embryo and continuing into adulthood. Very weak fluorescence was also seen in hypodermal cells in the head and tail.  
    Expr4652   GFP-tagged LON-2-protein fluorescence is weak and localizes to the surface of intestinal cells, most visibly to the most posterior cells. This observation is consistent with a GPI modification of LON-2 because GPI moieties link their proteins to the extracellular surface of cell membranes.
