Abstract

Conventional gene reporters have a fundamental role in determining the physiological states of cells, but they can monitor gene expression while damaging proteins or significantly changing mature messenger RNA. Non-coding RNAs cannot currently be measured over multiple time points without having their nucleotide sequence changed, which can change their native function, half-life and localization. As a result, we created the minimally invasive transcriptional reporter intron-encoded scarless programmable extranuclear cistronic transcript (INSPECT), which is embedded within an intron of a gene of interest. After INSPECT's post-transcriptional excision, mature endogenous RNA without any sequence changes and another engineered transcript that leaves the taking control of the nuclear export system and translating it into a reporter or effector protein. We demonstrate its application in tracking the transcriptional dynamics of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) NEAT1 during CRISPR interference-mediated perturbation and monitoring interleukin-2 (IL2) after T cell activation. The technique known as INSPECT allows for the monitoring of gene transcription without affecting the target's mature messenger or lncRNA.

Introduction

Our knowledge of the complexity of organisms is constantly expanding thanks to advances in science and technology. The "central dogma" of molecular biology holds that cellular and organismal phenotype is determined by the normal processing of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein. In the past, RNAs were typically thought of as an intermediary between DNA and proteins with the exception of infrastructural RNAs (like rRNAs and tRNAs). However, the rapid advancement of high-throughput sequencing technologies over the last few decades has exposed widespread eukaryotic genome [1].

We reexamined the functions of RNAs in the growth and evolution of higher organisms in light of the fact that the majority of regulatory RNAs function without being involved in protein translation. Numerous mechanisms, including epigenetic, transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, and protein location effects, are used by long non-coding RNAs to control gene expression. The diverse range of lncRNAs' modes of action is consistent with their functional diversity. LncRNAs can assemble transcriptional machinery to start transcription, attract epigenetic factors to change chromatin state, or function as a structural organiser to help create [2,3]

In order to modify gene expression at the transcriptional, posttranscriptional, and translational levels, lncRNAs can also complementarily bind with other types of RNA molecules. For instance, they can act as a decoy or sponge for miRNA or as a moderator of mRNA activity. Additionally, lncRNAs form specific structural connections with proteins to function as a location transferor or to modify the activities of enzymes [4].

In a complicated biological sample, mass spectrometry performs admirably in terms of identifying and characterising the proteins' and peptides' byproducts. The most concrete proof of lncRNA coding potential is the discovery of peptides encoded by lncRNA. However, compared to the proportion found in the ribose results, the proportion of coding lncRNAs detected by MS-based proteomes is currently low. The main criticism leveled at this strategy is that the concentration and length of the detected samples clearly affect MS-based proteomics. As a result, specialised techniques have been created to get around these detection restrictions. Using peptidomics techniques and enrichment protocols, short translation products with low abundance [5].

Conclusion

Due to the enormous family of non-coding genes that has recently been discovered, RNAs have attracted a lot of attention for their enigmatic functions in living things. The range of potential functional mechanisms for these bio-macromolecules is increased by lncRNA-encoded peptides. Numerous peptide products have been found in human cells, but little is known about how they work. The recently discovered micro peptides linked to various biological processes have been outlined in the current review. We also talked about how mRNAs might act as regulators in non-coding functions. Functional RNAs will continue to be found and functionally characterised, leading to new understanding of crucial cellular functions and the evolution of organisms.
