Experiment / E1DRLR3QF5' UTR / Translation Efficiency MPRA (MPTA)

In vivo zebrafish 5′ UTR MPRA with polysome profiling

The regulatory landscape of 5′ UTRs in translational control during zebrafish embryogenesis

A capped mRNA library of 18,154 endogenous Danio rerio 5′ UTR full-length and split-segment sequences, each upstream of a common sfGFP reporter, was injected into one-cell TLAB embryos. Total RNA and 80S, low-molecular-weight (LMW), and high-molecular-weight (HMW) polysome fractions were sequenced at 2, 4, 6, and 10 hpf in three independent replicates to calculate ribosome recruitment scores (RRS).

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 (5′ UTR mRNA library microinjected at the one-cell stage)

In vivo mRNA MPRA using a common 5′ adaptor–5′ UTR–superfolder GFP–BG1 3′ UTR–36-nt poly(A) reporter. Polysome profiling pooled fractions 4+5 as 80S, 6+7 as LMW, and 8+9 as HMW; UMI-based paired-end sequencing quantified total-input and fractionated reporter abundance at 2, 4, 6, and 10 hpf for three independent replicates. RRS was calculated as fraction TPM divided by the matched total-input TPM, and the processed scores are the authors’ arithmetic means of replicate log2 RRS values.

Quality control

The authors retained reads with a UMI immediately followed by the common adaptor GAAGAGTAGCCTGCAGATAGAC, partially trimmed the common adaptor and sfGFP flanks, allowed up to 2 adaptor and 3 sfGFP mismatches, aligned end-to-end with Bowtie2 very-sensitive settings to 18,154 library references, removed multimapped reads using MAPQ ≥ 2 and SAMtools flag 256 filtering, and deduplicated with UMI-tools. TPM values included a one-count pseudocount; RRS calculations required TPM ≥ 2. The processed table retains the authors’ 17,879 inserts with complete mean log2 RRS values for all 12 fraction-by-stage conditions across the three replicates. It excludes 142 of 18,021 RRS-result rows containing one or more NA values and does not include the 133 library inserts absent from the RRS-result sheet.

Curation notes

This is a natural-sequence 5′ UTR activity library rather than an allele-contrast or variant-effect library. It includes full-length UTRs plus split segments for UTRs longer than the oligo limit and includes maternal/zygotic isoform pairs. Embryos were TLAB strain and received no drug or trans-factor perturbation. The processed table uses the authors’ mean_log2_RRS_data results joined to their 5'UTR_library annotations; raw UMI-deduplicated mapped counts, TPMs, sequencing QC, and supplementary analyses are retained in raw_data. Source annotation used GRCz11 with Ensembl release 100.
