Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.7K
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...

Protein Folding01:25

Protein Folding

8.8K
Proteins are chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Upon synthesis, a protein folds into a three-dimensional conformation, critical to its biological function. Interactions between its constituent amino acids guide protein folding, and hence the protein structure is primarily dependent on its amino acid sequence.
Protein Structure Is Critical to Its Biological Function
Proteins perform a wide range of biological functions such as catalyzing chemical reactions, providing...

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis02:53

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis

13.5K
Ribosome synthesis is a highly complex and coordinated process involving more than 200 assembly factors. The synthesis and processing of ribosomal components occurs not only in the nucleolus but also in the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
Ribosome biogenesis begins with the synthesis of 5S and 45S pre-rRNAs by distinct RNA polymerases. The primary transcripts are extensively processed and modified before they are bound and folded by ribosomal proteins and assembly factors,...

Proteomics01:33

Proteomics

8.0K
A proteome is the entire set of proteins that a cell type produces. We can study proteomes using the knowledge of genomes because genes code for mRNAs, and the mRNAs encode proteins. Although mRNA analysis is a step in the right direction, not all mRNAs are translated into proteins.
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...

Directing Proteins to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum01:34

Directing Proteins to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

8.6K
The organelle-specific signaling sequences direct proteins synthesized in the cytosol to their final destination like ER, mitochondria, peroxisomes, etc. Some of the proteins directed to ER are then trafficked via vesicles to other organelles within the cell or the extracellular environment through the Golgi complex. For example, the rough ER synthesizes soluble proteins for transportation to the lysosomes or secretion out of the cell. It can also synthesize transmembrane proteins that can...

Area of Science:

  • Proteomics
  • Structural Biology
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Understanding protein conformations is vital for cellular mechanisms and disease research.
  • Native proteomics analyzes proteins in their native states, but characterizing proteome-wide conformations is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an AI-assisted native proteomics method for simultaneous protein identification and conformational analysis.
  • To integrate protein structure prediction (PSP) with top-down proteomics (TDP) and native mass spectrometry (nMS).

Main Methods:

  • Obtained protein sequences via TDP and measured solvent-accessible surface area using nMS.
  • Integrated TDP and nMS data with a PSP module to determine protein conformations.
  • Applied the method to study ribosomal protein conformations before and after assembly.

Main Results:

  • Identified multiple conformational ensembles for ribosomal proteins with intrinsically disordered regions in their monomer state.
  • Demonstrated that protein conformations during drug binding can differ from those within a complex.
  • Highlighted the significance of characterizing 'dark' protein conformations in drug development.

Conclusions:

  • The AI-assisted native proteomics method enables high-throughput proteome identification and conformational characterization.
  • This approach bridges structural biology and conventional proteomics.
  • Revealing diverse protein conformations is critical for drug discovery and understanding biological systems.
