RNA-seq

10.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry
  • RNA Engineering

Background:

  • Real-time metabolite detection in whole cells necessitates efficient molecular sensors.
  • Fluorogenic light-up RNAs are emerging as valuable tools for intracellular small-molecule sensing.
  • Current methods for constructing light-up RNA sensors are complex, requiring detailed structural information and limited de novo selection strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a streamlined and broadly applicable method for constructing modular light-up RNA sensors.
  • To overcome limitations in de novo selection of RNA sensors.
  • To enable rapid, allosteric assembly of RNA sensors with various fluorogenic reporters.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a capture-SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment) variant.
  • The method facilitates modular and allosteric linkage of selected RNA libraries and aptamers to fluorogenic RNAs.
  • Demonstrated general applicability for assembling sensors with green- or red-shifted fluorogenic RNAs.

Main Results:

  • Successfully developed a capture-SELEX variant for RNA sensor construction.
  • The approach enables modular and allosteric assembly of RNA sensors.
  • The method is generally applicable to various fluorogenic RNAs, including green- and red-shifted variants.

Conclusions:

  • The developed capture-SELEX variant offers a simplified and versatile approach to creating light-up RNA sensors.
  • This method facilitates rapid, modular, and allosteric assembly of RNA-based molecular sensors.
  • The strategy expands the toolkit for intracellular metabolite detection using RNA technology.
