1、背景(RNA结构研究)

  • 近年来,对于RNA的 Secondary Structure and Its Influence on Gene Regulation 研究越来越多,随之提出的就是许多测序手段,例如之前学到的clip-seq、rip-seq等研究RBP在RNA的分布、特定RNA修饰等(其它类似技术在笔记最后会提下)
  • 但这些方法都不能准确的解析远距离的、非互补配对的RNA-RNA间相互作用;尽管一般RNA间相互作用都是通过蛋白介导的。
  • 在2020年5月,由我国学者提出的RIC-seq发表在NATURE上,用于研究intra- and intermolecular RNA–RNA interactions.即单RNA两处片段互作,或者RNA间互作关系

2、RIC-seq

  • RNA in situ conformation sequencing ,RNA原位构象测序
  • 实验方法步骤与之前学习的HiC很相像,可以理解为RNA版本的HiC

2.1 实验步骤(HeLa cell)

如下图,感觉基本类似hiC


image from original paper
  • 第一阶段: In situ 原位,即保持细胞完整性的条件下
    (1) HeLa cells are crosslinked with formaldehyde and permeabilized with detergents;
    细胞内RNA构象用甲醛交联固定
    (2) RNAs are randomly cut with micrococcal nuclease and dephosphorylated at their 3′ overhangs;
    用MNase酶切割,筛选RBP绑定的两条互作RNA片段,并且去磷酸化
    (3) the RNA 3′ end is labelled with pCp–biotin and subsequently treated with FastAP alkaline phosphatase to remove the 3′ phosphate group from ‘Cp–biotin’, and the 5′ overhangs are phosphorylated with T4 polynucleotide kinase (PNK);
    这一步主要是在3'端加pCp生物素标记,5'端磷酸化
    (4) all the resulting RNA fragments in close proximity are ligated under in situ and non-denaturing conditions ;
    近端连接,整体上类似数字8的结构
  • 第二阶段:In vitro 在体外,即细胞裂解,释放RNA
    (1)total RNA is extracted and fragmented (into fragments approximately 90-nt in length), the RNAs containing C–biotin (about 100 nt) are enriched
    提取“8”性状的RNA结构,打成片段,富集含有生物素标记的chimeric read。

Each chimeric read represented one interaction between two different RNA fragments. 如下图,左边表示的是intramolecular RNA–RNA interactions;右边表示的是intermolecular RNA–RNA interactions.

(2)then converted into strand-specific libraries for sequencing (about 260 bp in length)
最后片段测序,片段长度集中分布在260bp左右

2.2 结果比对

  • 得到测序后的fastqc后,最重要的一步就是比对参考基因组,然后得到the set of chimeric reads representing useful data for determining RNA structures and RNA–RNA interactions.
  • 主要步骤如下图所示


    image from paper

    (1)rawdata → clean data
    FASTQC、trimgalore、cutadapt.......
    (2)去除rRNA(核糖体RNA)
    将序列比对到rRNA参考基因组中,未成功比对上的就是mRNA
    (3)将余下的reads比对到参考基因组,文章使用的是STAR比对软件,所用到的参数是

 STAR --runMode alignReads --genomeDir index --readFilesIn read.fq \
--outFileNamePrefix outprefix --outFilterMultimapNmax 100 \
--outSAMattributes All --alignIntronMin 1 --scoreGapNoncan -4 \
--scoreGapATAC -4 --chimSegmentMin 15 --chimJunctionOverhangMin 15

此外还用到了额外的三个参数,以提高reads quality

--alignSJoverhangMin 15 --alignSJDBoverhangMin 10 \
--alignSJstitchMismatchNmax 5 -1 5 5

如上图中的Chimerically mapped reads、Gapped reads、Aligned pairs含义及关系暂时还没有弄清楚。下图是paper里最后的比对结果

2.3 数据分析

  • 在得到Chimeric pair-tags数据后就可以进行深入的,有关RNA二级结构的有关探索了;
  • 具体就不介绍了,可参看原文文献,展示下paper里的几张图
