Random-end N25 5′UTR polysome-profiling MPRA in HEK293T

Optimizing 5’UTRs for mRNA-delivered gene editing using deep learning

A HEK293T IVT EGFP reporter library with a 25-nt fully randomized 5′UTR and only the T7-compatible 5′ guanine prefix was profiled in two biological replicates. UTR-level MRL values were combined with replicate-total UMI coverage after polysome fractionation.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated

The random-end construct removed the fixed 25-nt prefix and used a 25-nt variable 5′UTR downstream of the T7-derived guanine prefix, followed by EGFP and the reporter 3′ UTR. HEK293T cells were transfected and subjected to cycloheximide-stabilized sucrose-gradient polysome profiling. Reverse transcription/template switching introduced UMIs; fraction-specific libraries were sequenced and MRL was calculated from normalized UMI counts.

Column dictionary · 13 definitions
element_id
Stable package identifier assigned in lexicographic UTR-sequence order after QC.
utr_sequence
The variable 25-nt random-end 5′UTR sequence represented by the reporter library.
utr_length
Length of the packaged variable UTR sequence in nucleotides.
replicate_count
Number of biological replicates with a finite MRL value for the sequence.
total_umi_rep1
Sum of processed UMI counts across all polysome fractions in random-end N25 replicate 1.
mrl_rep1

total_umi_rep2
Sum of processed UMI counts across all polysome fractions in random-end N25 replicate 2.
mrl_rep2
Author-calculated mean ribosome load for random-end N25 replicate 2.
mrl_mean
Arithmetic mean of the two replicate MRL values.
mrl_sd
Sample standard deviation of the two replicate MRL values.
mrl_weighted_mean
Total-UMI-weighted mean MRL across the two replicates, matching the paper’s replicate-combination calculation.
total_umi_sum
Sum of total UMI counts across the two biological replicates; the ≥100-read QC threshold is applied to this field.
total_umi_min
Minimum total UMI count among the two replicate observations.

Quality control

Following the authors’ replicate-combination workflow, missing replicate observations were treated as zero coverage, total UMI counts were summed across the two biological replicates, and sequences with summed coverage ≥100 were retained. The package additionally required an exact 25-nt A/C/G/T sequence and finite source MRL values. The GEO files yielded 168,279 retained UTRs; lower-coverage rows were excluded.

Curation notes

The source files are GSE232927_processed_random_end_hek293t_N25_r1.csv.gz and _r2.csv.gz. The publication and supplementary material describe approximately 168k high-coverage sequences; the exact current GEO files produce 168,279 after the documented summed-coverage filter. HEK293T was resolved to Cellosaurus CVCL:0063.
