概括
在Leishmania donovani中,转录是构成性和阶段独立的,基因表达受转录后调节. 精密核运行测序 (PRO-seq) 证实了在所有生命周期阶段均的RNA合成.
科学领域:
- 分子生物学分子生物学
- 寄生虫学的寄生虫学
- 基因组学就是基因组学.
背景情况:
- 据认为,导致Kala-Azar的寄生虫Leishmania donovani的基因表达调节发生在转录后.
- 以前的研究表明构成性转录,但缺乏高分辨率的全基因组数据.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究Leishmania donovani的全基因组活跃转录和RNA合成率.
- 为了确定转录是否在不同的生命周期阶段 (前子和前子) 或环境条件下受到调节.
主要方法:
- 利用精确的核运行测序 (PRO-seq) 进行新生RNA合成的高分辨率分析.
- 分析了昆虫 (前子) 和哺乳动物 (前子) 阶段的所有染色体的转录.
- 检查了全基因组的转录启动和终结部位.
主要成果:
- 证明了Leishmania donovani的所有染色体和生命周期阶段的统一转录.
- 在阶段之间或在环境诱导时,没有发现多基转录单元 (PTU) 的转录水平有显著差异.

02:24Ribosome Profiling
3.7K
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.

RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases.

During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA. Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R...
