PoLib-seq ribosome loading of yeast uORFs

Unraveling the influences of sequence and position on yeast uORF activity using massively parallel reporter systems and machine learning

A polysome-library sequencing MPRA measured how natural yeast transcript leaders and matched AAG start-codon mutants distribute between translating and non-translating sucrose-gradient fractions. The processed table reports uORF effects on ribosome loading in wildtype BY4741 yeast.

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

Basal / Untreated; BY4741 wildtype in log-phase growth

Reporter-bearing yeast lysates were separated on 7–47% sucrose gradients. The source analysis grouped 40S, 60S, and monosome fractions as non-translating and 2-, 3-, 4-, and >5-ribosome fractions as translating; the top fraction was excluded. Replicate 1 monosome reads were downsampled by 0.8626 to balance translating and non-translating reads. Targeted RNA sequencing of each fraction was used to calculate a log2(WT/AAG) ribosome-loading effect from the translated/non-translated reporter ratio.

Quality control

The paper required at least 5,000 summed reads across capped and uncapped wildtype/AAG comparisons in both PoLib-seq replicates. It tested consistent-direction effects using a Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test and controlled the false-discovery rate at 5% with Benjamini-Hochberg correction. The processed table retains all 2,209 source rows meeting the 5,000-read cutoff, including non-significant effects.

Curation notes

PoLib-seq was performed in wildtype BY4741; the paper used it as an orthogonal translation/ribosome-loading assay to compare with FACS-uORF. The source workbook reports 2,209 rows with TotalReads ≥5,001. Fraction-count strings are retained because they preserve the seven-position source readout, while the main summary effect is combined_log2_wt_over_aag. The paper does not specify a genome assembly, so reference_genome is null.
