Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.5K
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...

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

9.8K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Cellular RNA structures are compact and interact with proteins, limiting access for probing reagents.
  • Understanding RNA structure in vivo is crucial for RNA biology and function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and apply small, 2 -OH-reactive probes for enhanced intracellular RNA structural analysis.
  • To improve the coverage and resolution of RNA structure probing in crowded cellular environments.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized small 2 -OH-reactive probes, including acetylimidazole (AcIm), to probe RNA structure within cells.
  • Applied probes to human ribosomal RNAs for characterization and then transcriptome-wide to polyadenylated transcripts.
  • Compared the efficacy of AcIm with larger conventional reagents like NAIN3.

Main Results:

  • The smallest probe, AcIm, achieved 80% greater structural coverage compared to NAIN3.
  • AcIm provided enhanced structural information for hundreds of transcripts.
  • The acetyl probe demonstrated superior signal for identifying m 6A modification sites, including those inaccessible to standard probes.

Conclusions:

  • Small 2 -OH-reactive probes offer significantly broader coverage for intracellular RNA structural analysis.
  • This strategy enhances the profiling of RNA structure, modification (e.g., m 6A), and intracellular interactions in crowded settings.
  • The findings enable deeper insights into RNA biology within the complex cellular milieu.
