Experiment / E8Y2BCTXD3' UTR / RNA Stability MPRA (MPRAu)

Fast-UTR 3′ UTR MPRA in BEAS-2B airway epithelial cells

Massively parallel analysis of human 3′ UTRs reveals that AU-rich element length and registration predict mRNA destabilization

The human fast-UTR reporter library of native 3′ UTR fragments, natural alleles, and designed ARE/CDE/other motif mutations was assayed in engineered BEAS-2B airway epithelial cells. Reporter RNA and genomic-DNA barcode counts were collected before doxycycline and after 4 h of transcriptional shutoff to quantify steady-state expression and an RNA-stability score.

Perturbation & assay details

Untreated baseline (t0) and doxycycline 1 µg/mL for 4 h (t4) to inhibit reporter transcription

The fast-UTR BTV construct is a tetracycline-regulated lentiviral reporter with a variable 3′ UTR test fragment and a random 8-mer clone barcode. The same 41,288-segment design targeted human RefSeq 3′ UTRs and included ARE/CDE motif-containing fragments, natural alleles, and designed mutations. RNA and genomic DNA were sequenced from t0 and t4 samples; source exports also contain exploratory t2 and t6 stability scores. The stability field is ratios_T4T0 = ratio_t4/(ratio_t4 + ratio_t0), rather than a directly fitted half-life.

Quality control

The source methods required each sequence to have at least 5 clones with more than 5 DNA counts each and at least 1 RNA count in at least 1 clone; barcode pairs at Hamming distance 1 were collapsed, and steady-state/stability values were residualized against GC content with fifth-order polynomial fits. The processed table uses the author-provided sequence-level values and retains a row only when the ID is unique, the sequence is nonempty A/C/G/T, and at least one GC-residualized primary score (ratios_T0_GC_resid or ratios_T4T0_GC_resid) is finite. Rows with neither score were removed; missing individual timepoint scores were not imputed. Retained: 17,135 of 41,255 source rows, including 7,613 with both T0 and T4 scores and 9,522 with steady-state score only.

Curation notes

The publication names the line BEAS2B/Beas2B; CVCL:0168 is the Cellosaurus mapping for BEAS-2B. The paper does not explicitly label the reference assembly; hg19 is inferred from the RefSeq v68/UCSC source coordinates. Cells were not stimulated. The study reports approximately 9 clones per segment at t0 and 7 clones per segment for the t4 stability measurement. The authors state that the two cell types did not have technical replicates, so the Jurkat/BEAS-2B difference may include batch effects. The table keeps source-provided t2/t6 fields but uses t0/t4 as the primary stability comparison.
