Spatially Resolved Single-cell Translatomics at Molecular Resolution

Open access

Preprint — published as 10.1126/science.add3067

Abstract

The precise control of mRNA translation is a crucial step in post-transcriptional gene regulation of cellular physiology. However, it remains a major challenge to systematically study mRNA translation at the transcriptomic scale with spatial and single-cell resolutions. Here, we report the development of RIBOmap, a three-dimensional (3D) in situ profiling method to detect mRNA translation for thousands of genes simultaneously in intact cells and tissues. By applying RIBOmap to 981 genes in HeLa cells, we revealed remarkable dependency of translation on cell-cycle stages and subcellular localization. Furthermore, we profiled single-cell translatomes of 5,413 genes in the adult mouse brain tissue with a spatial cell atlas of 62,753 cells. This spatial translatome profiling detected widespread patterns of localized translation in neuronal and glial cells in intact brain tissue networks. Together, RIBOmap presents the first spatially resolved single-cell translatomics technology, accelerating our understanding of protein synthesis in the context of subcellular architecture, cell types, and tissue anatomy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
