WormMine: Gene WBGene00006605

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00006605
• Gene Name: tra-2
• Sequence Name: C15F1.3
• Brief Description: tra-2 encodes a transmembrane receptor that functions in the sex determination pathway to specify female fates in hermaphroditic XX animals; tra-2 encodes two proteins: TRA-2A, the major protein expressed at all developmental stages, and TRA-2B, a form specific to the hermaphrodite germ line; in hermaphrodites, direct interaction between the TRA-2A intracellular domain inhibits FEM-3 masculinizing activity, whereas in males, TRA-2A is negatively regulated by HER-1, allowing the FEM proteins to specify male development; TRA-2A localizes to the plasma membrane where its activity is positively regulated, in part, by proteolytic cleavage by the TRA-3 calpain-like protease.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Enables transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Involved in developmental process involved in reproduction and oocyte fate determination. Located in nucleus; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and plasma membrane. Expressed in germ line.
• Biotype: SO:0001217
• Genetic Position: II :0.15618 ±0.005052

Regulated By Treatment	Description	Algorithm	Primary Identifier
	Genes with expression altered >= 3-fold in dpy-10(e128) mutants.	Data across the wild type series was analyzed using the Significance analysis of Microarrays (SAM) algorithm (to calculate the False Discovery Rate (FDR)).	WBPaper00035873:dpy-10_regulated
	Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression in L1 neural cells comparing to in adult neural cells.	DESeq2 (v1.18.1) fold change > 2, P-adj<0.05, using BenjaminiHochberg correction.	WBPaper00060811:L1_vs_adult_upregulated_neural
	Transcripts of coding genes that showed significantly decreased expression in muscle.	DESeq2 (version 1.24.0). Transcripts with a false-discovery rate adjusted p-value less than 0.05 were considered significantly differentially expressed.	WBPaper00062325:muscle_depleted_coding-RNA
	Transcripts expressed in neuronal cells, by analyzingfluorescence-activated cell sorted (FACS) neurons.	DESeq. False discovry rate (FDR) < 0.1.	WBPaper00048988:neuron_expressed
	Genes that showed expression levels higher than the corresponding reference sample (embryonic 24hr 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 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 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.

8 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr2035615
• 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).

• Primary Identifier: Expr1032736
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr1519
• Pattern: Three tra-2 mRNA were detected during wild type development. A 4.7 kb transcript is found in all developmental stages of both sexes. A 1.9 kb mRNA is found in hermaphrodite larva and adult XO males. a 1.8 kb transcript is found in the XX hermaphrodite adult germ-line and in embryos.

• Pattern: Developmental gene expression time-course. Raw data can be downloaded from ftp://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/hashimshony2015

• Primary Identifier: Expr1054
• Remark: The addition of a GFP tag to the N-terminal of TRA-2c did not interfere with its activity, because the tagged protein caused essentially complete somatic feminization of XO animals when overproduced from the heat shock promoter.
• Subcellular Localization: Tagged TRA-2c localized to nuclei in all cells that expressed it in both XX and XO animals.
