WormMine: Gene WBGene00009944

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00009944
• Gene Name: mtcu-2
• Sequence Name: F52H3.2
• Brief Description: mtcu-2 encodes a protein orthologous to yeast Mto1p; by homology, nuclear-encoded MTCU-2 is predicted to function together in a complex with MTCU-1 to catalyze the 5-carboxymethylaminomethyl modification of the wobble uridine in mitochondrial tRNAs and thus, promote mitochondrial protein synthesis and respiratory function; loss of mtcu-2 results in mild OXPHOS dysfunction characterized by decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, reduced maximal oxygen consumption rate under stress conditions, and increased sensitivity to OXPHOS complex inhibitors.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable flavin adenine dinucleotide binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial tRNA wobble uridine modification and tRNA methylation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 10. Is an ortholog of human MTO1 (mitochondrial tRNA translation optimization 1).
• Biotype: SO:0001217

Regulated By Treatment	Description	Algorithm	Primary Identifier
	Transcripts expressed in neuronal cells, by analyzingfluorescence-activated cell sorted (FACS) neurons.	DESeq. False discovry rate (FDR) < 0.1.	WBPaper00048988:neuron_expressed
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
Osmotic stress	Transcripts that showed significantly altered expression with 500 mM salt (NaCl) vs 100 mM salt when food was present	DESeq(version 1.10.1), FDR < 0.05.	WBPaper00050726:OsmoticStress_regulated_Food
	Transcripts expressed in GABAergic neuron, according to PAT-Seq analysis using Punc-47-GFP-3XFLAG mRNA tagging.	Cufflinks FPKM value >=1.	WBPaper00050990:GABAergic-neuron_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 with expression level regulated by genotype (N2 vs CB4856) and age at old adults stage (214 hours at 24 centigrade).	For model 2, authors used 100 permutations to estimate the FDR threshold. Per permutation, genotypes and ages were independently randomly distributed, keeping the among-gene structure intact. Then for each spot (23,232) on the array, model 2 was tested. The obtained P-values were used to estimate a threshold for each of the explanatory factors. Authors also used a genome-wide threshold of -log10 P-value = 2, which resembles an FDR of 0.072 and 0.060 for marker and the interaction age-marker for the developing worms and FDR of 0.050 and 0.065 for marker and age-marker for the aging worms. For the physiological age effect, authors used a log10 P-value = 8 in developing worms (0.012 FDR) and -log10 P-value = 6 (0.032 FDR).	WBPaper00040858:eQTL_age_regulated_aging

	Genes expressed in N2.	Expressed transcripts were identified on the basis of a Present call in 3 out of 4 N2 experiments as determined by Affymetrix MAS 5.0.	WBPaper00025141:N2_Expressed_Genes
	Embryonic (E) subclasses are based on the earliest significant increase(abbreviated pi for primary increase).	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_E_pi(122_min)

	Transcripts that showed significantly decreased expression in pals-22(jy3) comparing to in N2 at L4 larva stage.	Differential expression analysis was performed in RStudio (v1.1.453) using R (v3.50) and Bioconductor (v3.7) packages. As outlined in the RNAseq123 vignette, data was imported, filtered and normalized using edgeR, and linear modeling and differential expression analysis was performed using limma. An FDR cutoff of <0.01 was used to define differentially expressed genes; no fold-change criteria was used.	WBPaper00056034:pals-22(jy3)_downregulated
	Embryonic class (E): genes that significantly increase in abundance at some point during embryogenesis.	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_E
	Transcripts enriched in germline by comparing dissected germline tissue with dissected intestine tissue, both injected with empty RNAi vector.
