Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome Profiling

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...

Background:

Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS) are crucial for producing diverse bioactive peptides.
Constructing large NRPS gene cluster libraries is challenging due to complexity and scale.
Existing methods lack efficiency in generating combinatorial NRPS libraries.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an efficient one-pot method for constructing large NRPS gene cluster libraries.
To enable random swapping of DNA fragments within NRPS modules for combinatorial library generation.
To overcome limitations in building complex NRPS gene clusters.

Main Methods:

Developed the Seamed Express Assembly Method (SEAM)-combi-Ordered Gene Assembly in Bacillus subtilis (OGAB).
Utilized SEAM-OGAB for NRPS gene cluster construction and combi-OGAB for combinatorial DNA library construction.
Introduced SfiI sites into NRPS gene cluster plasmids (plipastatin and gramicidin S) and performed ligation and transformation in Bacillus subtilis.

Main Results:

Successfully generated 32 types of plasmid DNA from 50 transformants, out of 64 possible combinations.
The transformants produced at least 30 different peptides, including cyclic and linear variations.
Demonstrated efficient construction of NRPS gene cluster libraries with over five module members.

Conclusions:

The SEAM-OGAB method provides an efficient approach for constructing NRPS gene cluster libraries.
This method facilitates the generation of diverse peptide libraries for research and development.
The technique is advantageous for applications requiring large and varied peptide libraries.
