概括
这项研究通过确定350个新的sigmaA (SigA) 结合位点,揭示了Mycobacterium tuberculosis中的新基因调节机制. 这些在基因间和基因内区域中发现的遗址表明SigA的不同作用和独特的细菌促进器结构.
科学领域:
- 微生物学
- 分子生物学
- 基因组学
背景情况:
- 在Mycobacterium结核病中由西格玛因子,特别是西格玛A (SigA) 调节的基因尚不清楚.
- 识别SigA结合位点对于破译这种病原体的转录控制至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 在Mycobacterium tuberculosis中发现新的SigA结合点.
- 研究这些结合位点在基因调节中的功能作用.
- 描述 SigA 使用的发起人架构.
主要方法:
- 通过指数式丰富 (SELEX) - Seq方法对配体进行了基因组系统演化.
- 用于验证的是电泳运动转移试验 (EMSA) 和报告试验.
- 对已识别的DNA序列及其基因组位置进行生物信息分析.
主要成果:
- 在M. tuberculosis中发现了350个新的SigA结合位点.
- 在基因间区域的38个位点表明新型SigA促进体.
- 内基因区域的312个位点表明以前未知的调节作用,包括62个转录和14个非编码RNA的合成,以及88个新蛋白的识别.
- 分析揭示了多样化的促销元件,其中128个位点只含有-35类元件,挑战传统的细菌促销元件模型.
结论:
- 这项研究扩大了M.结核病中SigA介导的基因调节的已知范围.
- 内基的SigA结合位在转录和潜在的新型调节功能中起着重要作用.

Ribosome Profiling
3.6K
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.
