WormMine: Gene WBGene00003445

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00003445
• Gene Name: msp-52
• Sequence Name: F36H12.6
• Brief Description: msp-52 encodes a protein that belongs to a family of proteins called the Major Sperm Proteins (MSPs) that is conserved in nematodes; this family consists of closely related, small, basic proteins that make up 15% of sperm protein; this multigene family consists of over fifty genes, including many pseudogenes; MSPs are involved in both extracellular signaling and cytoskeletal functions during reproduction-MSP antagonizes Eph/ephrin signaling, in part, by binding VAB-1 Eph receptor tyrosine kinase on oocytes and sheath cells to promote oocyte maturation and MAPK activation; MSPs assemble into fibrous networks that drive movement of the C. elegans sperm; msp genes are expressed only in late primary spermatocytes.

	Transcripts that showed significantly increased expression in ogt-1(ok1474) neuronal cells isolated by FACs comparing to in FACs isolated neuronal cells from wild type.	DESeq2, fold change > 2, FDR < 0.05.	WBPaper00066485:ogt-1(ok1474)_upregulated_neuron
	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 with differential expression under 0.5mg/l Chlorpyrifos (CPF) treatment at 16 centigrade.	To identify the differentially expressed genes in each treatment authors used linear models per toxicant and temperature (gene expression = Toxicant (effect) + error). The lm function in R stats package was used to implement the linear models analysis with recommended default options. For threshold determination authors used a permutation approach. For each of the 23,232 permutations used authors randomly picked a transcript (array spot), which could only be picked once. Authors combined all the expression values of this transcript and randomly distributed them over the replicates and used them in the linear model. In this way authors obtained a threshold for each of the toxicants. Authors used a -log10 p-value 2 as common threshold for the analysis, which resembles to the following FDR per toxicant: 0.0155 for CPF at 24 centigrade, 0.0148 for DZN at 24 centigrade, 0.0168 for CPF+DZN at 24 centigrade, 0.0142 for CPF at 16 centigrade, 0.0151 for DZN at 16 centigrade, and 0.0148 for CPF+DZN, at 16 centigrade.

	Expression Pattern Group E, enriched for genes involved in dephosphorylation.	The significance (P 0.0001) of the relative age (time) was used to determine if a gene was differentially expressed between the three age (time) groups. The effect of this factor explaining gene expression differences was used to determine if the expression went up or down during the two age/time periods (t1 - t2 and t2 -t3). Authors used a permutation approach to determine the thresholds for the different mapping strategies. For each of the used models for eQTL mapping, authors used 23,000 permutations. For each permutation, authors randomly picked a spot; each spot could only be picked once. The gene expression and relative lifespan values were than randomly distributed over the RILs (and time points) and used for mapping. In this way, authors obtained a threshold for each of the explaining factors. For the single time points, authors used a FDR of 0.01 to adjust for multiple testing. The genome-wide threshold for this FDR is -log10 P = 3.8 for each of the three time points. For the combined models (t1 to t2 and t2 to t3), authors used a genome-wide threshold of -log10 P = 4, which resembles an FDR of 0.006, 0.001, and 0.006 for marker, age, and the interaction between marker and age, respectively. To determine the threshold for the single gene examples, authors used 1000 permutations as in the genome-wide threshold. The difference is that they use the gene under study in all of the permutations. The P-values for the gene specific thresholds were determined at FDR = 0.05.	WBPaper00036286:Pattern_E

• Subcellular Localization: In mated females, extracellular MSP exhibits a graded distribution, with a sharp boundary between the -1 and -2 oocytes. Fluorescence intensity measurements indicate that MSP is localized in a graded manner from the spermatheca to the oocyte. Fluorescence intensity measurements also indicate that there is significant MSP staining over the -2 and -3 oocytes. To pinpoint the localization of MSP at the oocyte cell surface, a 3D confocal analysis of MSP localization was conducted a in mated females using the RME-2 yolk receptor to mark the oocyte plasma membrane and the early endosomal compartments. Three-dimensional image reconstructions of the data indicate that MSP localizes in three regions: (1) in superficial focal planes at the oocyte cell surface with RME-2 just beneath; (2) in the same plane as the RME-2 signal; and (3) within the oocyte beneath the plasma membrane. Using anti-MSP mAbTR-20 and visual inspection, 91% of mated female gonad arms exhibited extracellular MSP localization (n=36), with 39% showing extracellular MSP as far as the most proximal oocyte, and the rest exhibiting extracellular MSP only within the spermatheca. With confocal microscopy, extracellular MSP appeared both punctate and diffuse in the spermatheca, the gonad arm and the uterus. Analysis of 3D data stacks indicated that punctate extracellular MSP was enriched near spermatozoa on the spermathecal walls. The largest puncta were at the diffraction limit of the microscope (0.5 um) and were found nearby spermatozoa. In the proximal gonad arm, MSP was more diffuse and localized in focal plane slices near the oocyte surface. In the uterus, large MSP puncta was observed close to spermatozoa. Diffuse MSP was also observed in extracellular spaces surrounding embryos in the uterus. MSP puncta can be observed near spermatozoa in the uterus and spermatheca using wide-field microscopy, when these regions were less crowded with spermatozoa.
