RemarkTable S2, embryo microarray: "We identified 678 genes whose transcripts increased at least 1.5-fold in mutant embryos (Figure 4A, Table S2)... Fewer genes showed reduced expression in mutant embryos (299, Figure 4A)."Paper_evidenceWBPaper00038427

Phenotype_assayTreatment"To identify genes regulated by LIN-54 in vivo, we performed microarray expression profiling analysis of wild-type and lin-54 mutant C. elegans embryos and of isolated germlines. We chose embryos because they consist primarily of somatic cells, at a developmental stage with both active cell divisions and dynamic developmental gene expression programs."Paper_evidenceWBPaper00038427

Remark"Previously, we found that LIN-54 can bind multiple C. elegans gene promoters in Y1H assays [22]. To ask whether the tesmin domains mediate DNA binding, we tested wild-type LIN-54, and mutant versions of LIN-54 carrying lesions in a single tesmin domain (G252E and G252E/A442T), or lesions in both tesmin domains (K186E/G252E) in Y1H assays. We found that the mutant proteins exhibited much weaker DNA binding compared to the wild-type protein (Figure 1A and 1B)."Paper_evidenceWBPaper00038427

"To examine the function of the tesmin domains in DNA binding in vivo, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments with wild-type and lin-54(n2990) mutant animals. Because we had noticed that LIN-54 binds its own promoter (Figure 1B), as well as promoters of genes encoding other DRM subunits (Figure S1B), we assayed binding at the lin-9 and lin-54 promoters. We observed a 4- and 2-fold decrease in LIN-54 binding in the lin-54(n2990) mutant relative to wild-type animals at promoters of lin-9 and lin- 54, respectively (Figure 1C, Figure S1C, p-value, 0.01). Furthermore, the binding of other DRM complex proteins was also greatly reduced in lin-54(n2990) mutant animals (Figure 1C, pvalue, 0.01). These findings were supported by immunofluorescence analysis, which showed reduced chromosome localization of several DRM complex proteins in lin-54(n2990) mutant germlines (Figure S1D)."Paper_evidenceWBPaper00038427

Remark"Control experiments showed that wild-type and lin- 54(n2990) mutant animals produce a comparable amount of fulllength, nuclear-localized LIN-54 protein (Figure 2A and 2B), unlike lin-54(n3423) null animals which produce no detectable LIN-54 protein and reduced amounts of other DRM subunits (Figure 2B and [4])."Paper_evidenceWBPaper00038427
