WormMine: Gene WBGene00017195

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00017195
• Gene Name: glo-4
• Sequence Name: F07C3.4
• Brief Description: glo-4 encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that is similar to Drosophila Claret and human RP3; throughout development, glo-4 activity is required for biogenesis of the lysosome-related gut granules; based upon phenotypic similarity, glo-4 is likely to encode a GEF for the GLO-1 Rab-like GTPase; in regulating gut granule formation, glo-4 acts downstream of apb-3, which encodes the AP-3 complex beta subunit.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: Predicted to enable ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in negative regulation of axon extension. Located in axon and synapse. Expressed in body wall musculature; intestine; muscle cell; nervous system; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atherosclerosis. Is an ortholog of human SERGEF (secretion regulating guanine nucleotide exchange factor).

	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.

	Coexpression clique No. 203, sre-33-ZK1025.1_8337, on the genome-wide coexpression clique map for the nematode GPL200 platform.	All available microarray datasets for the GPL200 platform (Affymetrix C. elegans Genome Array) were obtained from the GEO repository. This included 2243 individual microarray experiments. These were normalized against each other with the software RMAexpress (Bolstad, 2014). Based on these normalized values, Pearsons correlation coefficients were obtained for each probe-probe pair of the 22,620 probes represented on this array type. The resulting list of correlation coefficients was then ranked to generate the ranked coexpression database with information on each probe represented on the GPL200 platform.

	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

	Strictly maternal class (SM): genes that are the subset of maternal genes that are not also classified as embryonic.	A modified Welch F statistic was used for ANOVA.

8 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr4951
• Remark: Picture: Figure 2.
• Pattern: GLO-4::GFP showed a discrete punctate localization in many different tissues, including muscle, pharynx, gut, and nervous system.

• Primary Identifier: Expr4952
• Remark: Picture: Figure 2.
• Subcellular Localization: Coimmunostaining showed that in the ventral nerve cord, GLO-4::GFP was localized to discrete puncta adjacent to the SV protein SNT-1. In the cholinergic SAB motor neurons, GLO-4::GFP was localized at the anterior tip of the axon, while SNT-1 was localized at puncta throughout the length of the axon and excluded from the tip. This localization pattern is very similar to that of RPM-1. Coimmunostained GLO-4::GFP and endogenous RPM-1 and showed significant colocalization in the ventral cord, especially in regions that had high expression of RPM-1 Similarly, in the SAB neurons, GLO-4::GFP and RPM-1 colocalized at the anterior tip of the axon, where RPM-1 is most concentrated. To further confirm the colocalization of these two proteins at individual synapses in another type of neuron, authors expressed RPM-1::GFP and Cherry::GLO-4 in the type D GABAergic motor neurons using the unc-25 promoter. The D neurons form en passant synapses along the dorsal and ventral nerve cords. Cherry::GLO-4 and RPM-1::GFP colocalized to distinct puncta in the axons of these neurons.

• Pattern: Expression is seen in all bodywall and vulval muscle cells from early larval to adult stage. In the bodywall muscle expression is localised to discrete subcellular organelles that are distributed throughout the cell, but are not associated with the thick filaments.
