Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.6K
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.

Nucleic Acid Structure

7.1K
The pentose sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, while in RNA the pentose sugar is ribose. The difference between the sugars is the presence of the hydroxyl group on the ribose's second carbon and a hydrogen on the deoxyribose's second carbon. The phosphate residue attaches to the hydroxyl group of the 5′ carbon of one sugar and the hydroxyl group of the 3′ carbon of the sugar of the next nucleotide, which forms  a 5′ to 3′ phosphodiester linkage.

Summary

We developed 4'-SCF3-uridine (4'-SCF3-U) as a novel fluorine-19 NMR probe for RNA. This probe accurately reveals RNA secondary structures in vitro and in cells, showing G-quadruplexes are less stable in living cells.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize 4 -SCF3-uridine (4 -SCF3-U) phosphoramidite for RNA incorporation.
  • To evaluate 4 -SCF3-U as an ultrasensitive 19F NMR probe for RNA structure determination.

Main Methods:

  • Solid-phase synthesis of RNA containing 4 -SCF3-U modification.
  • NMR spectroscopy for solution structure determination of RNA duplexes.
  • 19F NMR to probe RNA secondary structures in vitro and in living cells.

Main Results:

  • 4 -SCF3-U is well-tolerated in RNA duplexes without significant structural distortion.
  • The 4 -SCF3 group forms specific interactions with adjacent residues, enabling sensitive 19F NMR detection.
  • Demonstrated reduced stability of G-quadruplex structures in living cells compared to in vitro conditions.

Conclusions:

  • 4 -SCF3-U is a valuable and ultrasensitive 19F NMR probe for RNA structural studies.
