Experiment / E6SBEI553Trans-Factor Perturbation MPRA

Barcoded tetO2 variant MPRA with TetR and doxycycline

High-Throughput Characterization of Tetracycline Repressor Function on Tetracycline Operator 2 Variants

An episomal pcDNA3.1-tetO-BC-mGL library containing 96 designed tetO2 operators and approximately 100 random 24-nt barcodes per operator was assayed in HEK293 cells. Variant-level TetR repression was measured by comparing RNA/DNA reporter activity with TetR present under untreated versus doxycycline-treated conditions, with a mGreenLantern co-transfection arm as a repressor-independent control.

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

TetR co-transfection (pCAGTetRnls) with 20 µg/mL doxycycline for approximately 24 h versus untreated; a pcDNA3.1-mGreenLantern co-transfection arm served as a control

Standard episomal plasmid MPRA with a CMV-driven mGreenLantern reporter and random 24-nt 5′-UTR barcodes. The library contained tetO2 operator variants inserted downstream of CMV; barcode/variant dictionaries were generated by AVITI 2×75 sequencing, RNA barcode libraries were sequenced after DNase treatment and RT-PCR, and MPRAnalyze-derived comparisons were used to calculate TetR repression. Aggregate Table S2 values are retained because barcode-level DNA/RNA counts and replicate matrices were not deposited.

Quality control

The authors filtered barcode/variant dictionary reads by variant-region quality (at least 30, excluding the first nucleotide), barcode-region quality (at least 25 after the first 7 nucleotides and greater than 10 within the first 7), and barcode-to-variant mapping. Ambiguous mappings were retained only when the most frequent pairing exceeded the second pairing by more than 100-fold; Starcode clustering at Levenshtein distance 1 applied the same 100-fold centroid criterion. MPRA sample depth was normalized using negative controls and TetR repression was calculated from negative-control-normalized RNA/DNA activity. For packaging, only Table S2 rows with numeric TetR and mGreenLantern values and an exact sequence/type match to Table S1 were retained: 93 rows. The three Table S1 entries explicitly marked as not found in the variant library (tetO8G, tetO11C, randtetO8) were not included.

Curation notes

The public data are aggregate variant-level repression percentages rather than raw barcode-level counts, DNA/RNA libraries, or replicate-level statistics. The processed table intentionally retains positive and negative controls to preserve the assay's repression scale. Mutation annotations are computed from the deposited sequences against tetO2 x 1; controls and the tandem tetO2 x 2 positive control have blank mutation fields when a direct comparison is not appropriate. The final article body is closed access; full_text.txt contains the complete abstract and the complete freely available supporting-information Methods text, while the original SI PDF and XLSX are preserved in raw_data.
