Resumen
Los ARN pequeños nucleolares (ARNsn) guían las modificaciones de ARN. Un nuevo método, snoCLASH, revela miles de interacciones de ARN no ribosómico, descubriendo nuevas funciones para los ARNsn en la regulación génica.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología Molecular
- Biología del ARN
- Genómica
Sus antecedentes:
- Los ARN pequeños nucleolares (ARNsn) guían principalmente las modificaciones del ARN ribosómico (ARNr).
- La evidencia emergente indica que los ARNsn interactúan con objetivos no ARNr, pero el descubrimiento es un desafío debido a la abundancia de ARNr y los obstáculos técnicos.
- La identificación sistemática de estas interacciones no canónicas es crucial para comprender la regulación más amplia del ARN.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Desarrollar y validar un método escalable para identificar interacciones ARNsn-no ARNr en todo el transcriptoma.
- Descubrir nuevos ARNm diana de los ARNsn y sus funciones reguladoras asociadas.
- Establecer una plataforma para explorar funciones de ARNsn no canónicas más allá de la modificación del ARNr.
Principales métodos:
- Desarrollo de snoCLASH, un marco optimizado de entrecruzamiento, ligación y secuenciación basado en ARN de ARN de unión a proteínas (RBP).
- Integración de técnicas que incluyen extracción fenol-tolueno, enriquecimiento de polA, fraccionamiento nuclear, depleción de ARNr y análisis de lecturas quiméricas de doble referencia.
- Aplicación de snoCLASH para la identificación a escala de transcriptoma de interacciones ARNsn-ARNm.
Principales resultados:
- Identificación de miles de regiones de ARNm asociadas a ARNsn, incluidos elementos codificantes y reguladores.
- Enriquecimiento de RBP identificados vinculados a la regulación epitranscriptómica entre las regiones asociadas a ARNsn.
- Validación funcional de una interacción ARNsn-ARNm que demuestra la metilación 2'-O dependiente de ARNsn que impacta la expresión proteica.
Conclusiones:
- snoCLASH es una plataforma escalable para descubrir y validar objetivos de ARNsn no canónicos en todo el transcriptoma.
- Este método amplía las funciones conocidas de los ARNsn más allá de la modificación del ARNr.
- Los hallazgos resaltan un papel importante para los ARNsn en la regulación de la expresión génica a través de interacciones de ARNm y modificaciones epitranscriptómicas.

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...

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 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-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 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...
