Analysis of the p53/CEP-1 regulated non-coding transcriptome in C. elegans by an NSR-seq strategy
In recent years, large numbers of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been identified in C. elegans but their functions are still not well studied. In C. elegans, CEP-1 is the sole homolog of the p53 family of genes. In order to obtain transcription profiles of ncRNAs regulated by CEP-1 under normal and U...

description |
In recent years, large numbers of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been identified in
C. elegans but their functions are still not
well studied. In C. elegans, CEP-1 is the sole homolog of the p53 family of genes.
In order to obtain transcription profiles of ncRNAs regulated by CEP-1 under normal
and UV stressed conditions, we applied the ‘not-so-random’ hexamers priming strategy
to RNA sequencing in C. elegans, This NSR-seq
strategy efficiently depleted rRNA transcripts from the samples and showed high
technical replicability. We identified more than 1,000 ncRNAs whose apparent
expression was repressed by CEP-1, while around 200 were activated. Around 40% of
the CEP-1 activated ncRNAs promoters contain a putative CEP-1-binding site. CEP-1
regulated ncRNAs were frequently clustered and concentrated on the X chromosome.
These results indicate that numerous ncRNAs are involved in CEP-1 transcriptional
network and that these are especially enriched on the X chromosome in C. elegans. |
