Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.2K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique...

Conserved Binding Sites01:49

Conserved Binding Sites

4.1K
Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Understanding RNA higher-order structures is crucial for elucidating RNA-mediated biological functions.
  • Current methods for RNA structure determination are limited in scope and resolution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Selective 2'-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension and mutational profiling (SHAPE-MaP) for de novo and large-scale identification of RNA functional motifs.
  • To develop accurate, high-resolution RNA secondary-structure models.

Main Methods:

  • SHAPE-MaP involves chemical modification of RNA 2'-hydroxyl groups, followed by primer extension and mutational profiling.
  • Massively parallel sequencing is used to detect modification sites, which are encoded as noncomplementary nucleotides in cDNA synthesis.
  • SHAPE-MaP guided modeling was applied to complex RNAs, including the HIV-1 RNA genome.

Main Results:

  • SHAPE-MaP accurately identified over 90% of base pairs in known RNA structures.
  • A new model for the HIV-1 RNA genome was defined, incorporating known motifs and novel elements like experimentally validated pseudoknots.
  • The method demonstrated high-resolution secondary-structure modeling capabilities.

Conclusions:

  • SHAPE-MaP provides an accurate and high-resolution method for RNA secondary-structure modeling.
  • This technique enables the analysis of low-abundance RNAs and disentangles sequence polymorphisms.
  • SHAPE-MaP is poised to democratize RNA-structure analysis, facilitating broader research in RNA biology.
