WormMine: Gene WBGene00006726

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00006726
• Gene Name: ubl-5
• Sequence Name: F46F11.4
• Brief Description: ubl-5 encodes a ubiquitin-like protein orthologous to human ubiquitin-like protein UBL5; UBL-5 activity is required for normal mitochondrial morphology as well as for assembly of mitochondrial multi-protein complexes; in addition, UBL-5 is essential for the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt); in adult animals, ubl-5 is expressed at low levels in most tissues, with slightly higher levels seen in the intestine, particularly the posterior region, and the pharynx; UBL-5 localizes to the cytosol and to the nucleus, with nuclear levels increased upon induction of the UPRmt.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable protein tag activity. Involved in mitochondrial unfolded protein response and positive regulation of gene expression. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Expressed in intestine; pharynx; and terminal bulb. Is an ortholog of human UBL5 (ubiquitin like 5).

	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 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.
