Experiment / E241N6PCJ5' UTR / Translation Efficiency MPRA (MPTA)

5pseq 5′ terminal-sequence lentiMPRA in HeLa cells

mRNA 5′ terminal sequences drive 200-fold differences in expression through effects on synthesis, translation and decay

A synthetic reporter library containing the possible 7-nucleotide 5′ terminal sequences was packaged into lentivirus and used to stably infect HeLa cells. Direct sequencing of the reporter 5′ ends measured basal expression, actinomycin-D decay responses, and polysome/subpolysome translation distributions in DMSO vehicle and Torin 1 conditions; the table joins these readouts by 7-mer.

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

DMSO vehicle or 250 nM Torin 1 for 2 h; stability arm followed by 2 μg/mL actinomycin D for 2 h; translation arm separated into polysome and subpolysome fractions

The 5pseq vector is a CMV-promoter reporter based on pCT3-TE2, a lentiviral pLJC1-derived plasmid, with a randomized 7-nt cassette immediately after the promoter, Renilla luciferase coding sequence, and constant 3′ UTR. The library was packaged into lentivirus for stable HeLa delivery. Sequenced reporter 5′ ends were counted directly rather than through designed barcodes. The processed table combines S1 basal expression (reporter RPM divided by plasmid RPM), S2 actinomycin-D stability contrasts in DMSO and Torin 1, and S3 polysome/subpolysome translation contrasts in DMSO and Torin 1. Raw count columns are the corresponding GEO sample counts.

Quality control

The authors reported 16,359 of 16,384 plasmid-library 7-mers with more than 20 reads and excluded +1-G reporter sequences because non-templated reverse-transcription G additions could not be distinguished from genuine +1-G initiation. For this package, the published S1, S2, and S3 tables were joined by exact 7-mer; only valid unique A/C/G/T 7-mers present in all three tables were eligible. Rows were retained only when the S1 plasmid count was at least 20 and both basal reporter replicates had at least 10 reads, retaining 12,247 of 12,270 joined rows. This package threshold is a conservative approximation to the paper’s >20-read plasmid-complexity criterion and avoids near-zero basal reporter ratios. Published DESeq2 log2 fold changes and adjusted p-values were retained as reported; supplement values marked NA remain NA, and non-significant rows were not removed.

Curation notes

The table represents the shared combinatorial 5pseq library and does not include the six targeted KARS1/SNHG1 promoter TSS reporter samples also deposited in GEO. Because +1-G reads are intrinsically ambiguous in this protocol, the final table covers the measurable A/C/T-starting subset rather than all 16,384 possible 7-mers. Raw GEO count entries absent for a retained sequence are represented as 0; missing published DESeq2 adjusted p-values are represented as NA. The library is synthetic, so no reference genome or genomic region is assigned.
