Experiment / E0SHYCWK65′ UTR / Translation Efficiency MPRA (MPTA)

HEK293 5′ UTR allele translation MPRA

Approaches for identification of 5′ UTR mutations impacting translation and protein production from neurodevelopmental disorder genes

An episomal plasmid library containing 1,507 unique 5′ UTR sequence-context reporters representing 997 neurodevelopmental-disorder-family mutations was transiently transfected into human HEK293 cells. Each reference and alternate allele was represented by ten barcodes, and DNA, total RNA, 40S, 80S, polysome, TRAP, and Maxi-library counts were collected across six biological replicates.

Perturbation & assay details

Basal / Untreated

Episomal CMV-driven tdTomato reporter with the tested 5′ UTR sequence between the promoter and reporter ORF and a barcode in the transcribed reporter region. Ribosome-density measurements used 40S, 80S/monosome, and polysome-associated RNA; total RNA/DNA measured reporter abundance, and TRAP and Maxi samples are retained as additional library readouts.

Quality control

The authors removed barcode observations with fewer than 20 UMI counts in either fraction of a ratiometric measurement, required at least three biological replicates with at least three reference and three alternate barcodes after filtering, fit barcode-level log-ratio mixed models, and used blank-control empirical p-values with q-value correction. The package retains all 1,507 contexts because all six reported HEK comparisons pass the count-based replicate/barcode audit; q<0.05 flags are derived from the author’s Table S2 q-values.

Curation notes

The table is one row per tested variant/transcript sequence context, not one row per individual barcode. Source Table S2 logFC values are preserved in the orientation named by each supplemental sheet; no sign reorientation was applied. The GRCh38 reference assembly is supported by the authors’ public VEP analysis files.
