Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

4.3K
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...

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis02:53

Ribosomal RNA Synthesis

15.3K
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,...

Ribosomes01:27

Ribosomes

81.2K
Ribosomes translate genetic information encoded by messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have ribosomes. Cells that synthesize large quantities of protein—such as secretory cells in the human pancreas—can contain millions of ribosomes.
Ribosome Structure and Assembly
Ribosomes are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. In eukaryotes, rRNA is transcribed from genes in the nucleolus—a part of the nucleus that specializes in ribosome...

RNA Splicing01:32

RNA Splicing

61.8K
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...

Riboswitches01:56

Riboswitches

10.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Ribosomal proteins (RPs) are known for their role in protein translation.
  • Emerging evidence suggests RPs possess regulatory functions beyond translation.
  • Understanding RP expression across diverse neuronal subtypes is crucial but previously challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate ribosomal protein (RP) gene expression across distinct neuronal subtypes in the mouse brain.
  • To identify cell-type-specific RP expression patterns and potential regulatory roles.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets from the mouse cerebral cortex and hippocampus.
  • Comparison of RP mRNA expression profiles between excitatory and inhibitory neurons and across specific neuronal subclasses.
  • Validation of findings using two independent scRNA-seq technologies (Smart-seq2 and 10x Genomics).

Main Results:

  • Distinct RP mRNA expression profiles were observed between excitatory and inhibitory neurons.
  • RP mRNA expression significantly varied across specific neuronal subclasses, with 59 of 84 RP genes differentially expressed.
  • Enrichment of Rpl21 in Lamp5 and Rps27 in Vip interneurons was identified.
  • RP expression signatures remained stable across aging and stress conditions.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides a comprehensive atlas of ribosomal protein gene expression at the neuronal subclass level.
  • RP gene expression exhibits robust subclass-specific transcriptional signatures in the brain.
  • These findings suggest an underappreciated regulatory role for RPs in neuronal subtypes.
