Numbers below tracks indicate mean reads per million (RPM) spanning each exon junction. Conservation tracks show phyloP basewise scores derived from Multiz alignment of 30 vertebrate species. Shown are all three EJC RIPiT-Seq replicates and replicate 1 for both (+) and (−) harringtonine RNA-Seq libraries. b–d Genome browser tracks of library coverage across individual genes (gray: protein-coding isoform(s) blue: NMD isoform) containing poison cassette exons (b, TRA2B and c, U2AF2) or 3′ UTR introns (d, hnRNPA1). (Bottom) Hypothetical abundance throughout the mRNA lifecycle in the libraries analyzed in this paper: EJC-bound RIPiT-Seq (purple) and RNA-Seq libraries treated with (+ dark green) or without (− light green) harringtonine. Steps affected by harringtonine treatment are indicated. While protein-coding isoforms are subject to multiple rounds of translation prior to decay, NMD isoforms are rapidly eliminated.
EJCs (purple) deposited upstream of exon junctions and other RNA-binding proteins (RBPs gray) are cleared by ribosomes (orange) during the pioneer round of translation. Exon junction complex RIPiT-Seq also revealed numerous conserved but previously unannotated AS-NMD events.Ī (Top) mRNA metabolism from transcription to degradation. For many known AS-NMD targets, the nonsense-mediated decay-linked alternative splicing pathway predominates. Several of these occur in genes whose overexpression has been linked to poor cancer prognosis.ĭeep sequencing of RNAs in post-splicing, pre-translational mRNPs provides a means to identify and quantify splicing events without the confounding influence of differential mRNA decay. We identify thousands of previously unannotated splicing events while many can be attributed to splicing noise, others are evolutionarily conserved events that produce new AS-NMD isoforms likely involved in maintenance of protein homeostasis. Our RIPiT-Seq also definitively demonstrates that the splicing machinery itself has no ability to detect reading frame. Consistent with expectation, the flux through known AS-NMD pathways is substantially higher than that captured by RNA-Seq. Here we compare exon junction complex RIPiT-Seq to whole cell RNA-Seq data from HEK293 cells. RNA immunoprecipitation in tandem (RIPiT) of exon junction complex components allows for purification of post-splicing mRNA-protein particles (mRNPs) not yet subject to translation (pre-translational mRNPs) and, therefore, translation-dependent mRNA decay. Indeed, some mRNA isoforms with extremely short half-lives, such as those subject to translation-dependent nonsense-mediated decay (AS-NMD), may be completely overlooked in even the most extensive RNA-Seq analyses. The flux through competing splicing pathways cannot be determined by traditional RNA-Seq, however, because different mRNA isoforms can have widely differing decay rates. Tim and Jeremy also discuss varying psychedelic aesthetics in the country and internationally, including the contrast between indigenous practices and the classical countercultural LSD scene spent time on the place of reissuing culture of contemporary labels like Mr Bongo and disagree over how we should listen to music with explicitly religious lyrics.Alternative splicing, which generates multiple mRNA isoforms from single genes, is crucial for the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression. Jeremy and Tim introduce Fusion groups like Azymuth and Aitro, totemic Brazilian singers like Astrud Gilberto, and the incredible output of Jorge Ben. Against a backdrop of managed democracy, repression and censorship for musicians, we hear about a number of exciting artists who combined inventive experimental radicalism with a popular imagination to create electrifying music. In this week's podcast Tim and Jeremy complete their three-parter on Brazil, looking at music in the country from 1968 - 1975.
