CRISPR and crRNAs02:53

CRISPR and crRNAs

18.6K
Bacteria and archaea are susceptible to viral infections just like eukaryotes; therefore, they have developed a unique adaptive immune system to protect themselves. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated proteins (CRISPR-Cas) are present in more than 45% of known bacteria and 90% of known archaea.
The CRISPR-Cas system stores a copy of foreign DNA in the host genome and uses it to identify the foreign DNA upon reinfection. CRISPR-Cas has three different...

Riboswitches01:56

Riboswitches

9.5K
Riboswitches are non-coding mRNA domains that regulate the transcription and translation of downstream genes without the help of proteins. Riboswitches bind directly to a metabolite and can form unique stem-loop or hairpin structures in response to the amount of the metabolite present. They have two distinct regions – a metabolite-binding aptamer and an expression platform.
The aptamer has high specificity for a particular metabolite which allows riboswitches to specifically regulate...

RNA Splicing01:32

RNA Splicing

60.2K
Splicing is the process by which eukaryotic RNA is edited before its translation into protein. The RNA strand transcribed from eukaryotic DNA is called the primary transcript. The primary transcripts that become mRNAs are called precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs). Eukaryotic pre-mRNA contains alternating sequences of exons and introns. Exons are nucleotide sequences that code for proteins, whereas introns are the non-coding regions. In RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are bonded...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs01:05

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

17.8K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Alternative RNA Splicing02:18

Alternative RNA Splicing

24.6K
Alternative RNA splicing is the regulated splicing of exons and introns to produce different mature mRNAs from a single pre-mRNA. Unlike in constitutive splicing where a single gene produces a single type of mRNA, alternative splicing allows an organism to produce multiple proteins from a single gene and plays an important role in protein diversity.
There are five types of alternative RNA splicing that vary in the ways the pre-mRNA segments are removed or retained in the mature mRNA. The first...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • RNA Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) primarily guide ribosomal RNA (rRNA) modifications.
  • Emerging evidence indicates snoRNAs interact with non-rRNA targets, but discovery is challenging due to rRNA abundance and technical hurdles.
  • Systematic identification of these non-canonical interactions is crucial for understanding broader RNA regulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a scalable method for identifying transcriptome-wide snoRNA-non-rRNA interactions.
  • To discover novel mRNA targets of snoRNAs and their associated regulatory functions.
  • To establish a platform for exploring non-canonical snoRNA functions beyond rRNA modification.

Main Methods:

  • Development of snoCLASH, an optimized RNA binding protein (RBP)-based crosslinking, ligation, and sequencing framework.
  • Integration of techniques including phenol-toluol extraction, polyA enrichment, nuclear fractionation, rRNA depletion, and dual-reference chimeric read analysis.
  • Application of snoCLASH for transcriptome-scale identification of snoRNA-mRNA interactions.

Main Results:

  • Identification of thousands of snoRNA-associated mRNA regions, including coding and regulatory elements.
  • Enrichment of identified RBPs linked to epitranscriptomic regulation among snoRNA-associated regions.
  • Functional validation of a snoRNA-mRNA interaction demonstrating snoRNA-dependent 2'-O-methylation impacting protein expression.

Conclusions:

  • snoCLASH is a scalable platform for discovering and validating non-canonical snoRNA targets across the transcriptome.
  • This method expands the known functions of snoRNAs beyond rRNA modification.
  • The findings highlight a significant role for snoRNAs in regulating gene expression through mRNA interactions and epitranscriptomic modifications.
