Experiment / E2J4EDGVX3' UTR / RNA Stability MPRA (MPRAu)

Conserved 3′-UTR segment mRNA half-life in BEAS-2B

Massively parallel functional annotation of 3′ untranslated regions

An error-prone-PCR fast-UTR library introduced random mutations into conserved 160-nt human 3′-UTR segments, and doxycycline transcriptional shutoff time courses in BEAS-2B cells were used to estimate reporter mRNA half-lives.

Processed tables are specific to each experiment. Column names, units, measurements, and table structure are not standardized across the database. Check this experiment’s column definitions and quality-control notes before comparing or combining data.

Perturbation & assay details

Doxycycline transcriptional shutoff (1 µg/ml; 0, 2, 4, and 8 h)

Doxycycline reduced reporter transcription by >90% but did not completely stop it. The reported primary model was mRNA(t)=mRNA(0)×2^(−t/half-life); an alternative leak-adjusted model gave similar overall results but was sensitive for short half-lives.

Quality control

The authors summarized half-lives from clone-level RNA measurements after their read/index filters and fit an exponential decay model. The package retains 1967 rows with finite published BEAS-2B half-life values and a matching sequence record; nd values are excluded. The authors did not use ratios below 1/8 for their primary half-life model because of transcriptional leak.

Curation notes

The error-prone conserved library contained 392,252 clones representing 91.2% of designed segments, with a mean of 1.7 substitutions and 0.7 deleted nucleotides per clone according to Supplementary Note 1. Half-life estimates are segment-level medians from Supplementary Data 3, not direct endogenous transcript half-lives.
