RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

10.8K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.8K
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...

The Eukaryotic Promoter Region

17.7K
The eukaryotic promoter region is a segment of DNA located upstream of a gene. It contains an RNA polymerase binding site, a transcription start site, and several cis-regulatory sequences.  The proximal promoter region is located in the vicinity of the gene and has cis-regulatory sequences and the core promoter. The core promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase and is usually located between -35 and +35 nucleotides from the transcription start site. The distal promoter regions are...

Area of Science:

  • Synthetic Biology
  • Microbial Engineering
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Engineering microorganisms as biological factories requires robust genetic tools, particularly strong promoters, which are lacking for many nonmodel organisms.
  • Synthetic biology aims to utilize renewable feedstocks for producing valuable materials, necessitating efficient genetic manipulation capabilities in diverse microbial species.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computational framework for identifying strong, constitutive promoters in nonmodel organisms using standard RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data.
  • To predict and validate promoter sequences for the methanotroph *Methylotuvimicrobium buryatense* 5GB1, facilitating its engineering for biotechnological applications.

Main Methods:

  • A computational framework was developed to analyze RNA-seq datasets, identifying constitutively and strongly expressed genes.
  • Candidate promoter sequences upstream of these genes were predicted, and consensus promoter motifs (-35 and -10 regions) were derived.
  • Experimental validation was performed using a XylE reporter assay and by scrambling predicted promoter signal sequences.

Main Results:

  • The framework identified 25 constitutively, strongly expressed genes in *Methylotuvimicrobium buryatense* 5GB1 across 12 conditions.
  • Candidate promoter sequences and consensus motifs (TTGACA and TATAAT) were predicted, closely matching the *E. coli* sigma-70 motif.
  • Experimental validation confirmed high expression from predicted promoters and demonstrated that disruption of consensus motifs halted transcription.

Conclusions:

  • The computational framework successfully predicts biologically meaningful promoter sequences in nonmodel organisms.
  • Identified promoters and regulatory elements provide foundational tools for engineering *M. buryatense* and other diverse microorganisms for biomolecule production.
  • This approach advances the engineering capabilities for microbial cell factories, enabling more efficient bioproduction from renewable resources.
