Ribo-seq是2009年Weissman课题组首次发表的研究细胞内蛋白翻译图谱的新型二代测序技术,用来描述全基因组水平蛋白质的翻译情况。主要是选择性捕捉80S核糖体及其结合的RNA片段而定位核糖体所位于的RNA的位置。
具体步骤为:
- 在细胞裂解物中富集多聚核糖体(polysome);
- 将多聚核糖体用核酸酶(RNA nuclease)消化成单核糖体(monosome)
- 选择性的收集和富集80S核糖体并经纯化得到80S核糖体所保护的RNA片段。
- 在此过程中,将80S核糖体保护的RNA片段进行下一步构建文库和测序(图1)。
- 最后,通过生物信息学的分析获得细胞当前状态下的翻译图谱 。
Ribo-seq数据测得的RNA片段长短与small RNA-seq相似,大约分布在25~35nt区间。由于Ribo-seq是特异性描述细胞的翻译组,因此其数据的测序片段大多比对到基因组的CDS区域(coding region)。此外,Ribo-seq还有一个明显区别于其他RNA-seq的特点,即Ribo-seq的序列在CDS区域往往呈现3-nt的周期性(图1)。这主要依赖于翻译过程中核糖体通常以3-nt的周期进行移动。

-G annotation_fly/dmel-all-r6.18.gtf \
-f annotation_fly/dmel-all-chromosome-r6.18.fasta \
-o annotation_fly \
-s script
- annotation.gtf: the annotation gtf should contain start_codon and stop_codon information, eg: dmel-all-r6.18.gtf
- genome.fasta: genome fasta, eg: dmel-all-chromosome-r6.18.fasta
- annotation_dir: the directory for all the annotation output
- scripts_dir: the directory of all the scripts in the package
annotation directory, including :
- start_codon.bed: the bed file annotating start codon
- final.ORFs: all identified ORFs, eg: FBtr0300105_0_31_546 where FBtr0300105 refers to the transcript, 0 refers to the reading frame relative to the start of transcript, 31 refers to the start site, 546 refers to the stop codon.
核糖体上具有一系列与蛋白质合成有关的结合位点与催化位点,分别为A位点(aminoacyl-site,A-site),P位点(peptidyl-site,P-site)和E位点(exit-site,E-site)先后与tRNA发生结合。P位点是肽段翻译延长的主要场所,在该位点上tRNA将携带的氨基酸移交给旁边的肽段从而使得肽段序列发生延长。为了能够更加明显的观察到3-nt的周期性,在处理Ribo-seq数据时我们参考之前已发表的方法,对每一条Ribo-seq比对上的测序片段转换为其对应的P-site位点。
This step determines the P-site position for each Ribo-seq reads length by overlapping with the annotated start codons from previous step

我们收集了所有已被注释的起始密码子并将 这些起始密码子和Ribo-seq 比对上的序列进行重合,分别计算Ribo-seq序列的5’端偏离起始密码子的第一个碱基A的距离(offset)。根据 Ribo-seq测序片段长度的不同,我们进一步将Ribo-seq片段分成多个组分。在每个长度对应的组分里,作出Ribo-seq片段5’端偏离起始密码子A的距离(offset)的直方图。
每一行代表不同长度的 Ribo-seq 测序片段的直方图。该数据中,30nt的reads数目最多,在30nt长度的Ribo-seq片段中,我们可以明显的看到在距离为13nt的位点含有一个峰值(peak)。鉴于大部分核糖体会在翻译起始位点停滞较多的时间,因此对于30nt长的Ribo-seq片段,其P-site位点的定义应该代表直方图中绝大多数的核糖体,因此我们将P-site位点应该定义为峰值最高的第13个碱基(13nt)的位置。
基于Ribo-seq序列及其确定的P-site位点,将规律推广到所有Ribo-seq的片段中,直接根据Ribo-seq序列的长度推断其对应的P-site位点。根据这种方法,我们可以将每一条转录本上所有的Ribo-seq片段转化为对应的P-site位点的信号点并获得转录组水平的Ribo-seq信号轨迹(signal track)。由于是由P-site位点定义出的信号轨迹,通常也被叫做P-site信号轨迹(P-sites track)。转录本上每一个位点的信号丰度代表了有多少Ribo-seq片段对应的P-site位点落在该位置上。

This step can achieve multiple functions :
- denoising [denoise]
降噪:在降噪过程运用了小波变换来去除原始信号中非3-nt周期性的信号使得保留的信号均具有翻译的3-nt周期性,即PF P-site信号轨迹。
- providing predicted p.value for each given ORF to identify its translation status [pvalue,-P]
鉴定ORF的翻译潜能:根据该转录本上经降噪后的P-sites是否富集在该ORF所在的阅读框内,判断ORF的翻译潜能。P<0.05即具有翻译活性。
- providing reads density (P-site/PF P-site) for each given ORF [density,-D]
reads density = ORF上reads数/ORF长度,反映翻译水平的abundance。
- providing translation efficiency (TE) estimation for each given ORF [TE,-T]
TE = 翻译水平的abundance/转录水平的abundance,反映翻译效率。
- providing frameshift potential (CRF score) for each given ORF [CRF,-F]
鉴定潜在核糖体移码现象。
It might take hours to perform the analysis if the input is large. It is recommended to specify the number of CPU cores through the -p option.
