Defining a minimal cell: essentiality of small ORFs and ncRNAs in a genome-reduced bacterium


ABSTRACT: Identifying all essential genomic components is critical for the assembly of minimal artificial life. In the genome-reduced bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae, we found, that small ORFs (smORFs; <100 residues), accounting for 10% of all ORFs, are the most frequently essential genomic components (53%). Essentiality of smORFs may be explained by their function as members of protein and/or DNA/RNA complexes. In larger proteins, essentiality applied to individual domains and not entire proteins, a notion we could confirm by expression of truncated domains. The fraction of essential non-coding RNAs non-overlapping with essential genes is 5% higher than of non-transcribed regions (0.9%), pointing to the important functions of the former. The data highlights the minimal genome (33%, 269410 bp of M. pneumoniae genome), with an unexpected hidden layer of smORFs with essential functions.

Identifying all essential genomic components is critical for the assembly of minimal artificial life. In the genome-reduced bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae, we found that small ORFs (smORFs; < 100 residues), accounting for 10% of all ORFs, are the most frequently essential genomic components (53%), followed by conventional ORFs (49%). Essentiality of smORFs may be explained by their function as members of protein and/or DNA/RNA complexes. In larger proteins, essentiality applied to individual do  ...[more]
