Project description:While long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may play important roles in cellular function and biological process, we still know little about them. Growing evidences indicate that subcellular localization of lncRNAs may provide clues to their functionality. To facilitate researchers functionally characterize thousands of lncRNAs, we developed a database-driven application, lncSLdb, which stores and manages user-collected qualitative and quantitative subcellular localization information of lncRNAs from literature mining. The current release contains >11 000 transcripts from three species. Based on the accumulated region of lncRNAs, we classify transcripts into three basic localization types (nucleus, cytoplasm and nucleus/cytoplasm). In some conditions, the nucleus and cytoplasm types can be divided into three more accurate subtypes (chromosome, nucleoplasm and ribosome). Besides browsing and downloading data in lncSLdb, our system provides a set of comprehensive tools to search by gene symbols, genome coordinates or sequence similarity. We hope that lncSLdb will provide a convenient platform for researchers to investigate the functions and the molecular mechanisms of lncRNAs in the view of subcellular localization.

Project description:Research on RNA-associated interactions has exploded in recent years, and increasing numbers of studies are not limited to RNA-RNA and RNA-protein interactions but also include RNA-DNA/compound interactions. To facilitate the development of the interactome and promote understanding of the biological functions and molecular mechanisms of RNA, we updated RAID v2.0 to RNAInter (RNA Interactome Database), a repository for RNA-associated interactions that is freely accessible at http://www.rna-society.org/rnainter/ or http://www.rna-society.org/raid/. Compared to RAID v2.0, new features in RNAInter include (i) 8-fold more interaction data and 94 additional species; (ii) more definite annotations organized, including RNA editing/localization/modification/structure and homology interaction; (iii) advanced functions including fuzzy/batch search, interaction network and RNA dynamic expression and (iv) four embedded RNA interactome tools: RIscoper, IntaRNA, PRIdictor and DeepBind. Consequently, RNAInter contains >41 million RNA-associated interaction entries, involving more than 450 thousand unique molecules, including RNA, protein, DNA and compound. Overall, RNAInter provides a comprehensive RNA interactome resource for researchers and paves the way to investigate the regulatory landscape of cellular RNAs.

Project description:3D structures of RNAs are the basis for understanding their biological functions. However, experimentally solved RNA 3D structures are very limited in comparison with known RNA sequences up to now. Therefore, many computational methods have been proposed to solve this problem, including our 3dRNA. In recent years, 3dRNA has been greatly improved by adding several important features, including structure sampling, structure ranking and structure optimization under residue-residue restraints. Particularly, the optimization procedure with restraints enables 3dRNA to treat pseudoknots in a new way. These new features of 3dRNA can greatly promote its performance and have been integrated into the 3dRNA v2.0 web server. Here we introduce these new features in the 3dRNA v2.0 web server for the users.

Project description:Eukaryotes and bacteria regulate the activity of some proteins by localizing them to discrete subcellular structures, and eukaryotes localize some RNAs for the same purpose. To explore whether bacteria also spatially regulate RNAs, the localization of tmRNA was determined using fluorescence in situ hybridization. tmRNA is a small regulatory RNA that is ubiquitous in bacteria and that interacts with translating ribosomes in a reaction known as trans-translation. In Caulobacter crescentus, tmRNA was localized in a cell-cycle-dependent manner. In G(1)-phase cells, tmRNA was found in regularly spaced foci indicative of a helix-like structure. After initiation of DNA replication, most of the tmRNA was degraded, and the remaining molecules were spread throughout the cytoplasm. Immunofluorescence assays showed that SmpB, a protein that binds tightly to tmRNA, was colocalized with tmRNA in the helix-like pattern. RNase R, the nuclease that degrades tmRNA, was localized in a helix-like pattern that was separate from the SmpB-tmRNA complex. These results suggest a model in which tmRNA-SmpB is localized to sequester tmRNA from RNase R, and localization might also regulate tmRNA-SmpB interactions with ribosomes.

Project description:Many studies have indicated that non-coding RNA (ncRNA) dysfunction is closely related to numerous diseases. Recently, accumulated ncRNA-disease associations have made related databases insufficient to meet the demands of biomedical research. The constant updating of ncRNA-disease resources has become essential. Here, we have updated the mammal ncRNA-disease repository (MNDR, http://www.rna-society.org/mndr/) to version 3.0, containing more than one million entries, four-fold increment in data compared to the previous version. Experimental and predicted circRNA-disease associations have been integrated, increasing the number of categories of ncRNAs to five, and the number of mammalian species to 11. Moreover, ncRNA-disease related drug annotations and associations, as well as ncRNA subcellular localizations and interactions, were added. In addition, three ncRNA-disease (miRNA/lncRNA/circRNA) prediction tools were provided, and the website was also optimized, making it more practical and user-friendly. In summary, MNDR v3.0 will be a valuable resource for the investigation of disease mechanisms and clinical treatment strategies.

Project description:This data was generated by ENCODE. If you have questions about the data, contact the submitting laboratory directly (Piero Carninci mailto:carninci@riken.jp). If you have questions about the Genome Browser track associated with this data, contact ENCODE (mailto:genome@soe.ucsc.edu). This track shows 5' cap analysis gene expression (CAGE) tags and clusters in RNA extracts (http://hgwdev.cse.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgEncodeVocab?type=rnaExtract) from different sub-cellular localizations (http://hgwdev.cse.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgEncodeVocab?type=localization) in multiple cell lines (http://hgwdev.cse.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgEncodeVocab?type=cellType). A CAGE cluster is a region of overlapping tags with an assigned value that represents the expression level. The data in this track were produced as part of the ENCODE Transcriptome Project. Release 2 has three new downloads only files per experiment (Clusters, TSS Gencode 7 and TSS HMM) and four new cell lines (A459, AG04450, BJ and SK-N-SH_RA). Release 1 on hg19 contained the original data on hg18 (http://hgwdev.cse.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg18&g=wgEncodeRikenCage) that was remapped and indicated in this release as Generation 0 since that data had no replicates. If there is both old and new generation data available for a particular experiment, only the new generation data is displayed and the older data is available for download. The new data for this track was done with a different process and has standard replicate numbers. The replicate labeling in the genome browser view is a counter indicating the total number of replicates submitted. The producing lab has replicate numbers that correspond to their internal bio-replicate numbering. Where these two numbering systems conflict, both are listed in the long label of the specific track. For data usage terms and conditions, please refer to http://www.genome.gov/27528022 and http://www.genome.gov/Pages/Research/ENCODE/ENCODEDataReleasePolicyFinal2008.pdf Cells were grown according to the approved ENCODE cell culture protocols (http://hgwdev.cse.ucsc.edu/ENCODE/protocols/cell). RNA molecules longer than 200 nt were isolated from each subcellular compartment and then were fractionated into polyA+ and polyA- fractions as described in these protocols (http://hgwdev.cse.ucsc.edu/ENCODE/protocols/general/rnaExtracts.txt). The CAGE tags were sequenced from the 5' ends of cap-trapped cDNAs produced using RIKEN CAGE technology (Kodzius et al. 2006; Valen et al. 2009). To create the tag, a linker was attached to the 5' end of polyA+ or polyA- reverse-transcribed cDNAs which were selected by cap trapping (Carninci et al. 1996). The first 27 bp of the cDNA were cleaved using class II restriction enzymes. A linker was then attached to the 3' end of the cDNA. After PCR amplification, the tags were sequenced (36 bp single reads) using Illumina's Genome analyzer. Tags were mapped to the human genome (hg19) using the program delve (T. Lassmann manuscript in preparation). Delve is a new probabilistic aligner focused on giving the best possible alignment of reads to a genome rather than focusing on speed. It calculates the mapping accuracy (probability of each alignment being true or not) for each alignment. There is no set limit on the number of errors allowed and therefore the mapping rate is commonly 100%. However, for analysis it is recommended to discard alignments with low mapping qualities. Exceptions to the above protocol are the polyA- RNA samples from K562 cytosol, K562 nucleus, and prostate whole cell which were sequenced using ABI SOLiD (http://www.appliedbiosystems.com/absite/us/en/home/applications-technologies/solid-next-generation-sequencing.html) technology. These reads were mapped using Bowtie using default parameters. Clusters were defined as regions of overlapping CAGE reads. The expression level was computed as the number of reads making up the cluster, divided by the total number of reads sequenced, times 1 million.

Project description:We introduce APEX-seq, a method for RNA sequencing based on direct proximity labeling of RNA using the peroxidase enzyme APEX2. APEX-seq in nine distinct subcellular locales produced a nanometer-resolution spatial map of the human transcriptome as a resource, revealing extensive patterns of localization for diverse RNA classes and transcript isoforms. We uncover a radial organization of the nuclear transcriptome, which is gated at the inner surface of the nuclear pore for cytoplasmic export of processed transcripts. We identify two distinct pathways of messenger RNA localization to mitochondria, each associated with specific sets of transcripts for building complementary macromolecular machines within the organelle. APEX-seq should be widely applicable to many systems, enabling comprehensive investigations of the spatial transcriptome.

Project description:CELLO2GO (http://cello.life.nctu.edu.tw/cello2go/) is a publicly available, web-based system for screening various properties of a targeted protein and its subcellular localization. Herein, we describe how this platform is used to obtain a brief or detailed gene ontology (GO)-type categories, including subcellular localization(s), for the queried proteins by combining the CELLO localization-predicting and BLAST homology-searching approaches. Given a query protein sequence, CELLO2GO uses BLAST to search for homologous sequences that are GO annotated in an in-house database derived from the UniProt KnowledgeBase database. At the same time, CELLO attempts predict at least one subcellular localization on the basis of the species in which the protein is found. When homologs for the query sequence have been identified, the number of terms found for each of their GO categories, i.e., cellular compartment, molecular function, and biological process, are summed and presented as pie charts representing possible functional annotations for the queried protein. Although the experimental subcellular localization of a protein may not be known, and thus not annotated, CELLO can confidentially suggest a subcellular localization. CELLO2GO should be a useful tool for research involving complex subcellular systems because it combines CELLO and BLAST into one platform and its output is easily manipulated such that the user-specific questions may be readily addressed.

Project description:ADP-ribosylation is a protein modification responsible for biological processes such as DNA repair, RNA regulation, cell cycle, and biomolecular condensate formation. Dysregulation of ADP-ribosylation is implicated in cancer, neurodegeneration, and viral infection. We developed ADPriboDB (adpribodb.leunglab.org) to facilitate studies in uncovering insights into the mechanisms and biological significance of ADP-ribosylation. ADPriboDB 2.0 serves as a one-stop repository comprising 48,346 entries and 9,097 ADP-ribosylated proteins, of which 6,708 were newly identified since the original database release. In this updated version, we provide information regarding the sites of ADP-ribosylation in 32,946 entries. The wealth of information allows us to interrogate existing databases or newly available data. For example, we found that ADP-ribosylated substrates are significantly associated with the recently identified human protein interaction networks associated with SARS-CoV-2, which encodes a conserved protein domain called macrodomain that binds and removes ADP-ribosylation. In addition, we create a new interactive tool to visualize the local context of ADP-ribosylation, such as structural and functional features as well as other post-translational modifications (e.g., phosphorylation, methylation and ubiquitination). This information provides opportunities to explore the biology of ADP-ribosylation and generate new hypotheses for experimental testing.

Project description:RNA localization is involved in multiple biological processes. Recent advances in subcellular fractionation-based sequencing approaches uncovered localization pattern on a global scale. Most of existing methods adopt relative localization ratios (such as ratios of separately normalized transcripts per millions of different subcellular fractions without considering the difference in total RNA abundances in different fractions), however, absolute ratios may yield different results on the preference to different cellular compartment. Experimentally, adding external Spike-in RNAs to different fractionation can be used to obtain absolute ratios. In addition, a spike-in independent computational approach based on multiple linear regression model can also be used. However, currently, no custom tool is available. To solve this problem, we developed a method called subcellular fraction abundance estimator to correctly estimate relative RNA abundances of different subcellular fractionations. The ratios estimated by our method were consistent with existing reports. By applying the estimated ratios for different fractions, we explored the RNA localization pattern in cell lines and also predicted RBP motifs that were associated with different localization patterns. In addition, we showed that different isoforms of same genes could exhibit distinct localization patterns. To conclude, we believed our tool will facilitate future subcellular fractionation-related sequencing study to explore the function of RNA localization in various biological problems.
