WormMine: Gene WBGene00004765

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00004765
• Gene Name: sel-8
• Sequence Name: C32A3.1
• Brief Description: sel-8 encodes a nuclear protein required for GLP-1 and LIN-12 signalling, that is analogous to (and may be homologous to) Drosophila MASTERMIND and its mammalian orthologs; SEL-8 (also known as LAG-3) forms a ternary complex with LAG-1/Su(H) and the intracellular domain of either GLP-1 or LIN-12; like MAM, SEL-8 is glutamine- and proline-rich; SEL-8 contains a novel motif shared with W09C5.1 and orthologs of W09C5.1 in S. cerevisiae (YER126c), Drosophila (DMIP259), and also has two prominent glutamine-rich domains.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; Notch binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including Notch signaling pathway; positive regulation of stem cell proliferation; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Expressed in several structures, including P3.p hermaphrodite; P4.p hermaphrodite; P5.p hermaphrodite; P8.p hermaphrodite; and neurons.

	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.

	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.

7 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr1032359
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr1109
• Pattern: SEL-8::GFP appears to accumulate in most, if not all, nuclei of embryos before morphogenesis. In larvae, SEL-8::GFP is visible throughout development in head, tail, and ventral cord neurons. In addition, there is a dynamic and complex expression pattern in other tissues. In the somatic gonad, SEL-8::GFP is expressed in Z1.ppp and Z4.aaa during the L2 stage, at the time that these cells are deciding between the anchor cell and ventral uterine precursor cell fates. SEL-8::GFP is also visible, albeit faintly, in the vulval precursor cells in the L3 stage, the time at which they undergo a LIN-12-mediated cell fate decision, and is expressed in a dynamic pattern during the vulval cell lineages.
• Subcellular Localization: In all cells where fluorescence is visible, SEL-8::GFP is nuclear.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2015736
• 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. Interactive visualizations are available as a web app (https://cello.shinyapps.io/celegans/) and can also be installed as an R package (https://github.com/qinzhu/VisCello.celegans).
