WormMine: Gene WBGene00004990

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00004990
• Gene Name: spp-5
• Sequence Name: T08A9.9
• Brief Description: spp-5 encodes a caenopore, a saposin (B) domain-containing protein that is a member of the saposin-like protein (SAPLIP) superfamily containing mammalian NK-lysin and granulysin and the protozoan amoebapore-like proteins; SPP-5 exhibits pore-forming activity and functions as an effector of innate immunity, demonstrating antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; in addition, SPP-5 is also required for fully normal postembryonic growth and reproduction, likely as a result of its role in killing ingested food, such as E. coli OP50; Northern blot analysisindicates that spp-5 mRNA is expressed constitutively at high levels in the presence of OP50 and a variety of other bacteria; an SPP-5::GFP reporter fusion is expressed exclusively in the intestine; the three-dimensional solution structure of SPP-5 has been determined by NMR spectroscopy revealing five helices, connected by three disulfide bonds, arranged in a folded leaf, the characteristic signature of the SAPLIP family.

6 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr2034319
• 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.
