WormMine: Gene WBGene00006776

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00006776
• Gene Name: unc-40
• Sequence Name: T19B4.7
• Brief Description: unc-40 encodes a netrin receptor that is required to guide dorsal-ventral cell and axon migrations, and is required for correct polarization and migration of the neuroblasts QL and QR; UNC-40 function in both UNC-5-dependent and UNC-5-independent signaling pathways to regulate cell and axon migrations; UNC-5-dependent signaling is likely enhanced by UNC-129, a TGF-beta signaling molecule that is expressed in a gradient opposite that of UNC-6 netrin; UNC-40 is also required, along with UNC-6, for mediating anchor cell (AC) invasion, likely by regulating formation of an AC invasive membrane domain; an UNC-40::GFP fusion protein is expressed on the surface of motile cells and pioneering neurons.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Enables netrin receptor activity and protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in several processes, including axon guidance; regulation of locomotion; and sex differentiation. Acts upstream of or within dendrite morphogenesis and distal tip cell migration. Located in axonal growth cone and cell projection membrane. Part of receptor complex. Expressed in several structures, including hermaphrodite somatic gonadal cell; motor neurons; neuroblasts; somatic nervous system; and touch receptor neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; congenital mirror movement disorder; and esophagus squamous cell carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human DCC (DCC netrin 1 receptor) and NEO1 (neogenin 1).

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 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.

adult vs dauer larva	Transcripts that showed differential expression in adult vs dauer lava in N2 animals at 20C.	N.A.	WBPaper00050488:adult_vs_dauer_regulated_N2_20C
	Genes significantly enriched in NSM neurons (isolated by FACS) versus the reference, according to RNAseq analysis towards total RNA.	Gene expression quantification and differential expression was analyzed using cufflinks v2.2.1. Enriched contains only genes significantly enriched (differentially expressed >= 2.4 fold in total RNA or >= 3.2 fold in DSN treated total RNA) in the NSM neurons versus the reference.	WBPaper00045974:NSM_enriched_totalRNA_RNAseq
	Transcripts expressed in body muscle, according to PAT-Seq analysis using Pmyo-3-GFP-3XFLAG mRNA tagging.	Cufflinks FPKM value >=1.	WBPaper00050990:body-muscle_expressed
	Transcripts expressed in hypodermis, according to PAT-Seq analysis using Pdpy-7-GFP-3XFLAG mRNA tagging.	Cufflinks FPKM value >=1.	WBPaper00050990:hypodermis_expressed
	Transcripts expressed in intestine, according to PAT-Seq analysis using Pges-1-GFP-3XFLAG mRNA tagging.	Cufflinks FPKM value >=1.	WBPaper00050990:intestine_expressed
	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 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.

19 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr4887
• Remark: No GO_term assigned. Picture: Fig. 3, A and C.
• Subcellular Localization: UNC-40 (DCC) is enriched in zones 2 and 3, the regions where presynaptic sites are assembled (71.5% animals with enriched localization, n = 214 animals).

• Primary Identifier: Expr12399
• Pattern: In wild-type animals, PVM, like AVM, expresses the receptor unc-40/DCC.

• Primary Identifier: Expr8798
• Remark: Picture: Fig 3.
• Subcellular Localization: UNC-40::GFP localized to the invasive membrane of the AC at the P6.p one-cell stage and increased its concentration there over time.

• Primary Identifier: Expr2036009
• 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: Expr8540
• Remark: Picture: Fig. 2I, Fig. 3E' and Fig. 5G'.
• Subcellular Localization: UNC-40::YFP localizes to the plasma membrane of muscles and is enriched on both myopodiallike protrusions and at muscle arm termini. When expressed in muscles at obviously lower levels, the localization of UNC-40::YFP was restricted to the muscle arm termini.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1032848
• Pattern: Tiling arrays expression graphs

• Primary Identifier: Expr15689
• Pattern: The unc-40::gfp transgene was expressed in the AC and in ventral nerve cord (VNC) neurons of mid-L2 to early L3 larvae, but not in the VPCs.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1601
• Remark: Reporter gene fusion type not specified.
• Pattern: Expressed on the surface of motile cells and pioneering neurons whose migrations are affected in unc-40 mutants. UNC-40/GFP becomes detectable on the surface of all cells at the onset of gastrulation (~100 min after first cleavage), and then gradually decreases. By the end of gastrulation (~290 min), the protein is barely detectable on all cells. In the neurula (~400 min), UNC-40/GFP is highly expressed on ventral cord motorneurons, including cell bodies and axons, undergoing axonogenesis. Additional neurons express UNC-40/GFP soon after, but are difficult to identify in the elongating neurula. This expression generally persists into the first larval stage and beyond, allowing unambiguous identification of most cells. Similar expression patterns were observed using unc-40 upstream regulatory sequences to direct cytoplasmic expression of soluble GFP. In first stage larvae, ventral epidermoblasts P1/2 to P11/12 (Pn cells) express UNC-40/GFP as they undergo planar movements within the epithelium. Similarly, neuroblasts QL and QR and their descendants express UNC-40/GFP as they migrate longitudinally along the epidermis. In second stage and later larvae, the distal tip cells of hermaphrodites express UNC-40/GFP as they migrate along the body wall.
• Subcellular Localization: cytoplasmic expression

• Primary Identifier: Expr14863
• Pattern: At the early L1 larval stage, unc-40 expression was detected in the nerve ring and the Q neuroblasts. We found that the number of unc-40 mRNA spots was similar in QL and QR, with a positive correlation between spot abundance and migration distance (QL, r = 0.4081, p < 0.0022, QR, r = -0.2838, p < 0.0324), indicating that unc-40 is symmetrically expressed in the two lineages, and that expression increases during the polarization and migration process.

• Primary Identifier: Expr11250
• Pattern: In addition to the previously reported neuronal and muscle cell expression (Chan et al., 1996; Alexanderet al., 2009), the functional UNC-40::GFP transgene is expressed in both hypodermal cells and M lineage cells.Thus, unc-40 is expressed in the signal-receiving cells of the Sma/Mab pathway.

• Primary Identifier: Expr10806
• Pattern: In wild-type animals, UNC-40 translational reporter was preferentially expressed in vm2 cells. UNC-40::GFP showed membrane-associated pattern and was enriched on vm2 muscle arms. unc-40 transcriptional fusion was also expressed in vm2 cells.

• Primary Identifier: Expr10571
• Pattern: unc-40p::unc-40::gfp genomic translational reporter gene is localized to all dividing ray cells before stage 1 of male development and only in ray structural cells from stage 3 onward.

• Primary Identifier: Expr10749
• Subcellular Localization: UNC-40::GFP is diffusely localized in neurosecretory-motor (NSM) neuron in larval stage 1 (L1) animals before arborization (n>10). In L4 animals undergoing arborization, UNC-40 localizes to discrete puncta. UNC-40 subcellular localization during this stage corresponds to areas of the main NSM neurite adjacent to the nerve ring target field or to nascent arbors within the target field (n>15). In adult animals that have completed arborization, UNC-40 became diffusely localized (n>10). UNC-40 subcellular localization is dynamically regulated during development.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1157070
• Pattern: Developmental gene expression time-course. Raw data can be downloaded from ftp://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/hashimshony2015

• Primary Identifier: Expr2017873
• Pattern: Single cell embryonic expression.

• Primary Identifier: Expr1027862
• Pattern: Developmental gene expression time-course. Raw data can be downloaded from ftp://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/levin2012

• Primary Identifier: Expr14866
• Subcellular Localization: The endogenous UNC-40::GFP protein localized diffusely along the plasma membrane, but also formed prominent punctate clusters at the cell periphery. Consistent with the role of UNC-40 in protrusion formation, quantification showed that these UNC-40 clusters predominantly localize at the leading edge of the polarizing Q cell. Of note, we found that these clusters dissolve when the Q neuroblast divides, but reappear at the leading edge of the migrating daughter cells QR.a and QR.p.

• Primary Identifier: Expr14999
• Subcellular Localization: UNC-40 primarily localizes at synapses.

• Primary Identifier: Expr3971
• Subcellular Localization: GFP-tagged UNC-40 expressed from the unc-86 promoter rescued polarized HSN growth and ventral HSN guidance in unc-40 mutants, suggesting that unc-40 functions cell-autonomously in HSN. The rescuing UNC-40::GFP protein became strongly localized to the ventral side of HSN beginning at the early L2 stage. This result suggests that localization of signaling proteins in HSN accompanies leading edge formation and ventral growth.
