WormMine: Gene WBGene00003114

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00003114
• Gene Name: mab-23
• Sequence Name: C32C4.5
• Brief Description: mab-23 encodes a DNA binding transcription factor of the DM (DOUBLESEX/MAB-3) class that is required for morphogenesis of the posterior hypodermis, spicules, and proctodeum in male tails, for the patterning of posterior male sensory neurons, and for normal turning during male mating; mab-23 interacts with egl-5 and with a TGF-beta-related signaling pathway, while having functions independent of mab-3.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including neuron fate determination; regulation of male mating behavior; and regulation of nematode male tail tip morphogenesis. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including U cell; hermaphrodite gonad; neurons; tail hypodermis; and ventral nerve cord.

	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.

5 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr2200
• Pattern: In males, MAB-23::GFP is observed in several sex-specific cell types during larval development and in the adult, including the A-type ray sensory neurons, ventral male-specific muscles, and unidentified neurons of the male posterior ventral nerve cord. MAB-23::GFP is also detected in a limited number of non-sex-specific tissues in the adult male, including 6-8 unidentified neurons of the head, ventral body wall muscle, and the PHCL/R neurons. It is transiently expressed during larval development in the hindgut and in the tail spike. Many of these MAB-23::GFP-positive tissues have identifiable defects in mab-23 males (ray neurons, tail hypodermis, sex muscles, and hindgut). In adult hermaphrodites, the same set of non-sex-specific tissues are MAB-23::GFP positive as in the male. In addition, MAB-23::GFP is expressed in several hermaphrodite-specific tissues that contribute to the egg-laying apparatus, namely the ventral uterus and spermatheca of the oviduct and the Hermaphrodite Specific Neurons(HSN).

• Pattern: Single cell embryonic expression. Only cell types with an expression fraction of greater 0.2 of the maximum expressed fraction are labeled (Full data can be downloaded from http://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/packer2019/). The colors represent the broad cell class to which the cell type has been assigned. The size of the point is proportional to the log2 of the numbers of cells in the dataset of that cell type.
