Experiment / E7DKDUIYADeep Mutational Scanning MPRA (DMS-MPRA)

SORL1 exon 17 saturation-mutagenesis MPRA in HeLa cells

Systematic Dissection of Coding Exons at Single Nucleotide Resolution Supports an Additional Role in Cell-Specific Transcriptional Regulation

The SORL1 exon 17 eExon library contained 16,483 distinct mutant haplotypes and 16,582 tagged constructs and covered all 1,665 possible single-nucleotide substitutions. The tagged pGL4.23 library was transiently transfected into HeLa cells and RNA-derived tags were sequenced 24 hours later.

Transient transfection of 10 µg MPRA library into HeLa cells; 24 h post-transfection harvest

Episomal MPRA using pGL4.23 luciferase reporter plasmids carrying approximately 97:1:1:1 doped eExon haplotypes and a 20-bp degenerate tag in the reporter 3′ UTR. Ten micrograms of library was transfected into 1–2×10^6 HeLa cells; after 24 h, total RNA was purified, mRNA selected, and 16 RT-PCR aliquots per biological duplicate were indexed and sequenced on Illumina GAIIx. Tag–haplotype associations were established by tag-directed subassembly, and substitution effects were estimated by linear regression on the number of RNA aliquots in which each haplotype was observed.

Quality control

The authors quality-filtered the first 20 tag bases, counted tag observations, retained tags supported by at least 10 reads, established tag–haplotype links by subassembly, and assessed replicate reproducibility before combining biological duplicates (SORL1 HeLa r=0.85). Package QC retained all 1,665 source rows because each had a valid integer hg19 coordinate, distinct A/C/G/T reference and alternate alleles, finite effect size, and p-value in [0,1]. The paper's p≤0.05 criterion is represented by a boolean column and was not used to remove non-significant substitutions.

Curation notes

HeLa is the human cervical cancer cell line resolved to Cellosaurus CVCL:0030. Table S5 provides mutation-level coefficients and p-values rather than barcode-level DNA/RNA counts; non-significant substitutions are retained so the table remains a complete saturation map. Several annotations are NA for intronic positions because they were not reported by the source.
