WormBase Gene ID  ? WBGene00018042 Gene Name  mks-3
Sequence Name  ? F35D2.4 Brief Description  mks-3 encodes a transmembrane domain protein homologous to the human ciliopathy protein MKS-3/tmem67/meckelin; MKS-3 is required for cilia-mediated chemosensory reception and for the normal length of cilia; in regulating cilia organization and function, mks-3 functions in the same pathway as other mks (Meckel-Gruber Syndrome (MKS) homolog genes), including mks-1, but in parallel to the nphp (nephronophthisis (human kidney disease) homolog) genes, nphp-1 and nphp-4; mks-1;nphp-4 double mutants also display cell autonomous defects in connections between sheath and socket cells; MKS-3 is expressed in ciliated sensory neurons where it localizes to the distal end of dendrites and the cilium base; mks-3 expression is dependent upon the DAF-19 RFX-type transcription factor.
Organism  Caenorhabditis elegans Automated Description  Involved in non-motile cilium assembly. Located in ciliary transition zone. Expressed in neurons. Used to study Meckel syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Bardet-Biedl syndrome 14; COACH syndrome; and Joubert syndrome 6. Is an ortholog of human TMEM67 (transmembrane protein 67).

  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 of coding genes that showed significantly decreased expression in muscle. DESeq2 (version 1.24.0). Transcripts with a false-discovery rate adjusted p-value less than 0.05 were considered significantly differentially expressed. WBPaper00062325:muscle_depleted_coding-RNA
  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.

Promoter::GFP fusion constructs of variable lengths were generated using PCR amplification followed by subsequent cloning into expression vectors.   Expr10107 Expressed in both the amphid and tail ciliated sensory neurons. The 60 C. elegans CSNs present in an adult hermaphrodite worm were divided into 5 subgroups or anatomical regions including, neurons that reside in the amphids (region 1 = 24 CSNs: AWAL/R, AWBL/R, AWCL/R, AFDL/R, ASEL/R, ADFL/R, ASGL/R, ASHL/R, ASIL/R, ASJLR, ASKL/R, ADLL/R) or in the tail (region 2 = 5 CSNs: PHAL/R, PHBL/R, PQR), neurons surrounding the anterior bulb (region 3 = 24 CSNs: BAGL/ R, CEPVL/R, CEPDL/R, IL1L/R, IL2L/R, IL1VL/R, IL2VL/R, IL1DL/R, IL2DL/R, OLLL/R, OLQVL/R, OLQDL/R) or the posterior bulb (region 4 = 5 CSNs: ADEL/R, FLPL/R, AQR) of the pharynx, and neurons in the midbody region of the worm (region 5=2 CSNs: PDEL/R). mks-3 was detected in all 5 regions.  
    Expr9617 F35D2.4 is expressed in amphid, phasmid, and labial neurons.
