WormMine: Gene WBGene00003821

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00003821
• Gene Name: nst-1
• Sequence Name: K01C8.9
• Brief Description: nst-1 encodes a homolog of human GNL3 (OMIM:608011, nucleostemin) and GNL3L, and of S. cerevisiae NUG1; NST-1 may suppress tumorous growth in the germ line by ensuring robust larval germline proliferation; like PRO-1, -2, and -3, NST-1 is probably required for ribosome biogenesis, suggesting a link between biogenesis in the distal sheath and control of cell division in the germ line; nucleostemin is a nucleolar protein found in stem cells that is required in quantitatively correct amounts (neither too little nor too much) for continued cell division and survival by stem cells or transformed cells; NST-1 is required in mass RNAi assays for normally rapid growth, larval viability, and normal body morphology and pigmentation.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable GTP binding activity. Involved in germ cell development; nematode larval development; and regulation of growth. Located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Expressed widely. Used to study obesity. Is an ortholog of human GNL3L (G protein nucleolar 3 like).
• Biotype: SO:0001217

	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 regulated by DPY-21, 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.

6 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr1031798
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr8331
• Remark: Picture: Figure 5.
• Pattern: During post-embryonic development, NST-1::GFP was ubiquitously expressed in the soma and germ line from L1 larvae to the adult stage. It was uniformly expressed in all cells of the adult oogenic germ line until the proximal oocyte, where expression decreased. Expression was not detected in the early embryo until the ~18-cell stage, when it again became detectable in the very small nucleolus and diffusely present in the nucleoplasm.
• Subcellular Localization: It is concentrated in the nucleolus and diffusely present in the nucleoplasm, similar to reports of mammalian nucleostemin localization.

• 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.
