WormMine: Gene WBGene00006802

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00006802
• Gene Name: unc-69
• Sequence Name: T07A5.6
• Brief Description: unc-69 encodes, by alternative splicing, three isoforms of a small (102- to 176-residue) coiled-coil protein required for normal axonal extension, axonal guidance, neuronal fasciculation, and synaptic vesicle localization; UNC-69 is orthologous to human SCOCO, which can transgenically rescue the locomotion defect of strong unc-69 mutants; UNC-69 is expressed in embryos, the processes and growth cones of immature neurons, and in the cell bodies of many (perhaps all) mature neurons; UNC-69 acts cell-autonomously in at least touch neurons, and perhaps all neurons; since UNC-69 binds a 19-residue conserved coiled-coil domain of UNC-76, UNC-69 and UNC-76 colocalize to neuronal puncta, unc-69 mutants phenotypically resemble unc-76, and mutations of these genes have nonallelic noncomplementation, UNC-69 and UNC-76 are likely to function as a complex.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Involved in regulation of axon extension and regulation of synapse organization. Located in axon; neuronal cell body; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Expressed in CAN; HSN; ganglia; somatic nervous system; and touch receptor neurons. Is an ortholog of human SCOC (short coiled-coil protein).

	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 significantly enriched (> 2x, FDR < 5%) in a particular cell-type versus a reference sample of all cells at the same stage.	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.

7 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr4900
• Remark: Picture: Figure 4.
• Pattern: UNC-69::GFP expression was first detectable in embryos. In immature neurons, UNC-69::GFP expressed in the processes and growth cones of developing neurites. In older larvae and adults, UNC-69::GFP was expressed in neurons of the anterior, lateral, ventral and retro-vesicular ganglia in the head, and in neurons of the preanal, dorso-rectal and lumbar ganglia in the tail. The fusion protein was also present in the ventral nerve cord (VNC), in the dorsal nerve cord (DNC), in the dorsal and ventral sublateral nerve cords, and in commissural axons. The reporter was expressed in the neurons named CAN, HSN, ALM, PLM, AVM, PVM, BDU, and SDQR, as evidenced by its localization to the cell bodies of these neurons. Expression of unc-69 in these latter cells was confirmed using an unc-69::LacZ::NLS fusion.
• Subcellular Localization: In immature neurons, UNC-69::GFP expressed in the processes and growth cones of developing neurites. In older larvae and adults, UNC-69::GFP was expressed in the cell bodies of neurons.

Expression of unc-69 in these latter cells was confirmed using an unc-69::LacZ::NLS fusion. Taken together, these results indicate that unc-69 is expressed widely, perhaps ubiquitously, in the C. elegans nervous system.
