RNA Editing02:23

RNA Editing

8.3K
RNA editing is a post-transcriptional modification where a precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) nucleotide sequence is changed by base insertion, deletion, or modification. The extent of RNA editing varies from a few hundred bases, in mitochondrial DNA of trypanosomes, to a just single base, in nuclear genes of mammals. Even a single base change in the pre-mRNA can convert a codon for one amino acid into the codon for another amino acid or a stop codon. This type of re-coding can significantly affect the...

In-vitro Mutagenesis

14.8K
To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Pre-mRNA Processing: Modification of pre-mRNA Ends

14.2K
In eukaryotic cells, transcripts made by RNA polymerase are modified and processed before exiting the nucleus. Unprocessed RNA is called precursor mRNA or pre-mRNA to distinguish it from mature mRNA.
Once about 20-40 ribonucleotides have been joined together by RNA polymerase, a group of enzymes adds a cap to the 5' end of the growing transcript. In this process, a 5' phosphate is replaced by modified guanosine that has a methyl group attached (7-methyl guanosine). This 5' cap helps...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Incomplete mRNA 5' end determination can lead to incorrect AUG codon assignment and protein product prediction errors.
  • Accurate coding sequence identification is vital for understanding gene function, especially in model organisms like the mouse.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically identify coding regions at the 5' end of known mouse messenger RNAs (mRNAs).
  • To improve the accuracy of predicting encoded protein products in mouse models.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an automated expressed sequence tag (EST)-based approach to analyze mouse mRNA sequences.
  • Parsed approximately 4 million BLAT alignments to identify novel 5' coding region extensions.
  • Confirmed findings through in vitro cloning and sequencing for specific cDNAs (Apc2 and Mknk2).

Main Results:

  • Identified extensions in the mRNA 5' coding region for 351 out of 20,221 analyzed mouse loci.
  • Generated a list of 16,330 mouse mRNAs with upstream in-frame stop codons, indicating 5' coding sequence completeness.
  • Found that 82% of the identified results were novel and not present in existing genome annotation pipelines.

Conclusions:

  • The study enhances the determination of full-length 5' coding sequences in mouse mRNAs.
  • Results can reduce errors in mouse gene structure and function studies within biomedical research.
  • The findings are not easily obtainable from standard RNA-Seq data analysis due to sequence length limitations.
