Loss-of-function mutations in the chromodomain helicase DNA-binding 8 (CHD8) gene are strongly associated with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Indeed, the reduction of CHD8 causes transcriptional, epigenetic and cellular phenotypic changes, correlated to disease that can be monitored in assessing n...
To detect the modifed bases in SINEUP RNA, we compared chemically modified in vitro transcribed (IVT) SINEUP-GFP RNA and in-cell transcribed (ICT) SINEUP RNA from SINEUP-GFP and sense EGFP co-transfected HEK293T/17 cells. Comparative study of Nanopore direct RNA sequencing data from non-modified and...
To analyze SINEUP RNA secondary structure in living cells, multiple SINEUP RNA and target EGFP mRNA plasmids were transfected in HEK293T/17 cells and icSHAPE libraries were prepared.
We found novel functional long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that contain a SINE element, and which up-regulate the translation of target mRNA, named SINEUPs. To investigate the network of translational regulation, we focused on the sub-cellular distribution of target mRNAs and SINEUP RNAs and SINEUP RN...
