WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00015735 Gene Name  pdfr-1
Sequence Name  ? C13B9.4 Brief Description  pdfr-1 encodes, by alternative splicing, three isoforms of a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) required for normal locomotion; PDFR-1 is orthologous to Drosophila pigment dispersing factor (PDF) receptors, and to human CALCR (OMIM:114131, associated with susceptibility to osteoporesis); pdfr-1 is expressed in all body wall muscles and many head and tail neurons; the C. elegans neuropeptides PDF-1a, PDF-1b, or PDF-2 (orthologous to Drosophila PDF) activated PDFR-1 receptors with dose-dependent nanomolar potency; in vivo, excess PDF-2 induces a movement phenotype like that seen in a pdf-1 null mutant, indicating that PDF-1a/b and PDF-2 exert opposite effects on PDFR-1.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Enables calcitonin family receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including locomotory behavior; signal transduction; and sleep. Located in plasma membrane. Expressed in several structures, including I1 neuron; RMEV; ganglia; mechanosensory neurons; and vulD. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in bone disease (multiple); hereditary lymphedema; and primary failure of tooth eruption. Is an ortholog of human CALCR (calcitonin receptor); CALCRL (calcitonin receptor like receptor); and PTH1R (parathyroid hormone 1 receptor).

  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.

  Genes that were upregulated in lin-15B(n744). For each gene in each microarray hybridization experiment, the ratio of RNA levels from the two samples was transformed into a log2 value and the mean log2 ratio was calculated. The log2 ratios were normalized by print-tip Loess normalization (Dudoit and Yang, 2002). All genes with a false discovery rate of <= 5% (q <= 0.05) (Storey and Tibshirani, 2003) and a mean fold-change ratio of >= 1.5 were selected for further analysis.

Bacteria infection: Enterococcus faecalis Genes with increased expression after 24 hours of infection by E.faecalis Fold changes shown are pathogen vs OP50. For RNA-seq and tiling arrays, log2 fold changes between gene expression values of infected versus uninfected nematodes were calculated. For log2 fold changes > 0.00001 the values > 81.25th percentile were defined as up-regulated and for log2 fold changes < -0.00001 the values < 18.75th percentile were defined as down-regulated.

  Genes that showed significantly increased expression in daf-2(e1370) comparing to in N2. To identify DEGs, Students t test and the log2 median ratio test were performed to compute t values and median ratios for all the annotated genes. The adjusted P values from each test were computed using an empirical distribution of the null hypothesis, which was obtained from random permutations of the samples. Finally, the adjusted P values from the individual tests were combined to compute the overall P values using Stouffers method , and genes with overall P < 0.05 and fold change > 1.5 were selected as DEGs.

    Expr14749 Imaging of pdfr-1 transcription in WT animals revealed a diffuse expression pattern with fluorescent signal observable in muscle tissue as well as in neurons, but with few cells having strong signal and many cells with only scattered fluorescent spots, including the ASJ neurons.  
    Expr10592 Transcriptional reporters were expressed in neurons and body wall muscle and were similarly expressed in both males and hermaphrodites. Colocalization with other reporters and anatomical criteria enabled identification of the expressing neurons as the cili­ated sensory neurons OLL, PHA and PQR, the nonciliated sensory neurons URY and URX, the touch receptor neurons ALM, PLM, AVM and PVM, the interneurons in the retro-vesicular ganglion RIF and AVF, the command interneurons AVD and PVC, the ring motor neurons RMED and RMEV, and two other neurons tentatively identified as either PVQ or PVW and DB2. No expression was observed in amphid or male-­specific neurons.

Picture: Figure 3, and supplementary Movies. The expression pattern of pdfr-1 could be confirmed by immunohistochemistry using anti-PDFR-1 polyclonal antibodies (raised in rabbit against synthetic C. elegans PDFR-1 fragment 54 to 67 (KMLDHNNLFPERDP), Sigma).   Expr8177 Fluorescent signals from PDFR-1::GFP could be observed in hermaphrodites throughout post-embryonic life. pdfr-1::gfp transgenic lines showed consistent GFP expression in all 95 body wall muscle cells and less frequently in muscle arms. Expression was also observed in the mechanosensory neuron pairs PLM, ALM, FLP, OLQD, and OLQV, the chemosensory neuron pairs PHA and PHB, the ring motor neurons RMED and RMEV, and the pharyngeal interneuron pair I1. In addition, fluorescent signals were observed in 2 vulva cells and several additional head and tail neurons that could not be unequivocally identified. In males, a similar expression pattern was observed in the head and body wall muscle cells. Other neuronal cells, like the sensory neuron R3, that has a possible role in male mating behavior, showed GFP fluorescence in the male tail.
