Gene expression in a developmentally arrested, long-lived dauer
population of Caenorhabditis elegans was compared with a
nondauer (mixed-stage) population by using serial analysis of gene
expression (SAGE). Dauer (152,314) and nondauer (148,324) SAGE tags
identified 11,130 of the predicted 19,100 C. elegans genes.
Genes implicated previously in longevity were expressed abundantly in
the dauer library, and new genes potentially important in dauer biology were discovered. Two thousand six hundred eighteen genes were detected
only in the nondauer population, whereas 2016 genes were detected only
in the dauer, showing that dauer larvae show a surprisingly complex
gene expression profile. Evidence for differentially expressed gene
transcript isoforms was obtained for 162 genes. H1 histones were
differentially expressed, raising the possibility of alternative chromatin packaging. The most abundant tag from dauer larvae (20-fold more abundant than in the nondauer profile) corresponds to a new, unpredicted gene we have named tts-1 (transcribed
telomere-like sequence), which may interact with telomeres or
telomere-associated proteins. Abundant antisense mitochondrial
transcripts (2% of all tags), suggest the existence of an
antisense-mediated regulatory mechanism in C. elegans
mitochondria. In addition to providing a robust tool for gene
expression studies, the SAGE approach already has provided the
advantage of new gene/transcript discovery in a metazoan.
