Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

4.0K
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...

Transgenic Plants02:50

Transgenic Plants

8.4K
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

Cell Signaling in Plants01:25

Cell Signaling in Plants

6.1K
Plant cells communicate to coordinate their cycle of growth, flowering and fruiting, and activities in roots, shoots, and leaves in response to the changing environmental conditions. Plant signaling is distinct from animal signaling. Plants primarily utilize enzyme-linked receptors, whereas the largest class of cell-surface receptors in animals are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Unlike animals, receptor tyrosine kinases are rare in plants. Instead, plants have a diverse class of...

Cis-regulatory Sequences

11.5K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Area of Science:

  • Plant genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Molecular biology

Background:

  • Small open reading frames (smORFs) are common in genomes, but identifying functional microproteins they encode is challenging.
  • While microproteins exist across life, few have been characterized in plants due to prediction and analysis limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a comprehensive bioinformatic pipeline for predicting and validating coding smORFs in plant transcriptomes.
  • To improve the catalogization and functional analysis of plant microproteins.

Main Methods:

  • Transcriptome assembly and prediction of potentially coding smORFs.
  • Filtration of candidate smORFs.
  • Validation of microprotein translation using mass-spectrometry data.

Main Results:

  • The pipeline successfully identifies and validates coding smORFs in plant transcriptomes.
  • It provides a framework for discovering novel plant microproteins.

Conclusions:

  • The developed bioinformatic pipeline is effective for predicting and validating plant microproteins.
  • This work lays the foundation for a more complete understanding of microproteins in plant biology.
