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...

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

4.9K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Structural Biology
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Clinical genomics sequencing generates numerous genetic variants requiring functional interpretation.
  • Current variant analysis often overlooks the three-dimensional (3D) protein structure and its surface properties.
  • Understanding protein-environment interactions is crucial for variant interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a standardized method for scoring protein surface property changes to aid in interpreting genomic variants.
  • To develop a novel computational approach leveraging 3D structures and simulations for variant analysis.
  • To enhance hypothesis generation for functional genomics research.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a novel method using 3D protein structures and time-dependent simulations to score and statistically evaluate protein surface property changes.
  • Evaluated the method using positive controls (thermophilic vs. mesophilic orthologs) and known solubility-altering variants.
  • Applied the method to static 3D structures and dynamic ensembles for 43 variants across four proteins, including KCNK9.

Main Results:

  • Positive controls and solubility variants showed statistically significant differences in charge distribution (p < 0.01).
  • Analysis of KCNK9 variants revealed substantial surface potential shifts, particularly with dynamic ensembles (average p-value of 1 × 10^-5).
  • The method identified functionally relevant surface changes, even distant from the mutation site.

Conclusions:

  • Objective assessment of mutation-induced electrostatic changes on protein surfaces aids genomic variant interpretation.
  • Incorporating 3D structural dynamics provides deeper mechanistic insights than static analysis.
  • This approach offers a new dimension for functional and mechanistic interpretation of genetic variants from clinical sequencing.
