Description

A kind of method of Mammals miRNA predictive genes
Technical field
The invention belongs to biological technical field, relate to miRNA (microRNA) predictive genes aspect.
Background technology
The present invention is a kind of Mammals miRNA method for forecasting gene.Be applicable to the biomedical research or the fundamental biological knowledge research of miRNA.
MiRNA originates from the endogenous expression transcript, is the singlestranded RNA that is about 21~24 Nucleotide, and its characteristic feature is that precursor has hairpin structure.The miRNA approach starts from the initial transcript of a miRNA gene.The hair fastener ring of these 70~100 Nucleotide is finally become precursor by the rnase processing treatment in nuclear.Gone into kytoplasm by nuclear output protein transport afterwards, then in kytoplasm, be processed as the ripe body miRNA of 21~24 Nucleotide by second rnase.The miRNA in this stage can combine silencing complex.It can suppress the translation of its messenger RNA(mRNA) (mRNA) through combining with target gene 3 ' end non-translational region identification, or degraded target messenger RNA(mRNA).MiRNA plays important regulation in the expression of post-transcriptional level regulatory gene and in processes such as the propagation of cell, differentiation, apoptosis.
Research at present thinks that miRNA has the conservative property (generally having only the difference of 1~2 base) of height in the mammalian genes group.What have conservative property most is let-7 family, and it extensively is present in the monosymmetric organism, and its sequence is conservative property very.The conservative property of miRNA has important biological significance, and prompting is in different biological development processes, and miRNA has identical regulatory mechanism, also for biological early stage evolution homology certain foundation is provided simultaneously.Utilize the characteristics of high conservative property can from the genome of the unknown, dope the miRNA gene.
Summary of the invention
The present invention has the advantages that highly stride the species conservative property according to Mammals miRNA (microRNA) precursor sequence; From known miRNA sequence; Found a kind of bioinformatics method of feasible miRNA gene identification based on the homology prediction; Can directly lock, so that further biological experiment checking to the miRNA gene.Implementation step is following:
Step 1: obtain known mammiferous miRNA precursor hair fastener ring sequence.
Step 2: the genome sequence that obtains species to be predicted.
Step 3: utilize local comparison, seek the homologous sequence of miRNA in the genome.
Step 4: according to certain standard screening potential precursor sequence.Concrete standard: 1) comparison length is greater than 95%, and base unanimity degree is greater than 80%; 2) precursor meets the hair fastener ring structure, and stem's length is greater than 15 bases, and there are not many ring phenomenons in ring portion; 3) there is not mutating alkali yl in ripe body position.
Step 5: utilize the folding software of Yeast Nucleic Acid (RNA) secondary structure to generate secondary structure.
Step 6: calculate the secondary structure free energy, screen qualified miRNA precursor.
Step 7: the ripe body sequence of prediction miRNA.
Step 8: final, for interested miRNA, checking can directly experimentize.
The present invention has the advantages that highly stride the species conservative property according to Mammals miRNA (microRNA) precursor sequence; From known miRNA sequence; Found a kind of bioinformatics method of feasible miRNA gene identification based on the homology prediction; Can directly lock, so that further biological experiment checking to the miRNA gene.
Aspect novelty, it is characterized in that: our method utilizes the miRNA precursor sequence in the conservative characteristics of Mammals camber, utilizes the method prediction miRNA gene of homology comparison.It is more reliable to predict the outcome, and helps in full genome range, excavating the miRNA gene.

Embodiment:
Be instance with primate-monkey below, do further explanation.
Step 1: obtain known mammiferous all miRNA precursor hair fastener ring sequences from NCBi (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) website.
Step 2: the genome sequence that obtains monkey from NCBi (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) website.
Step 3: utilize local comparison software Blastn (http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/), seek the homologous sequence of miRNA in the genome.
Step 4: according to certain standard screening potential precursor sequence.Concrete standard: 1) comparison length is greater than 95%, and base unanimity degree is greater than 80%; 2) precursor meets the hair fastener ring structure, and stem's length is greater than 15 bases, and there are not many ring phenomenons in ring portion; 3) there is not mutating alkali yl in ripe body position.
Step 5: utilize RNAfold (http://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/RNA/) software to carry out preceding folded body, analyze the secondary structure of precursor.
Step 6: utilize RNAeval (http://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/RNA/) to calculate the secondary structure free energy, screen qualified miRNA precursor.
Step 7: the ripe body sequence of prediction miRNA.Figure of description 2 is seen in predicting the outcome of the precursor secondary structure of one of them miRNA and ripe body sequence.
Step 8: final, for interested miRNA, utilize RT-PCR (inverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) technology that the miRNA gene of prediction is verified.The checking result sees accompanying drawing 3, and the result shows that the miRNA gene of the method prediction that utilizes us is accurately and reliably
More than be the description of this invention and non-limiting, based on other embodiment of inventive concept, all among protection scope of the present invention.
