polyR RAN initiation contributes to polyG translation. (A) Schematic of CGG100-polyG-NL3xFLAG reporter, contains full 5’UTR of FMR1 (white) with CGG100 repeat (gray) fused to nanoluciferase (yellow) and 3xFLAG (red) tags in polyG (+1) reading frame. polyR-frame ACG was mutated to AAA (red) to block polyR translation. (B) CGG100-polyG-NL3xFLAG reporter nanoluciferase activity with native polyR-frame ACG or AAA mutation in HEK293T cells (ACG versus AAA: P< 0.0001, n = 12) (C) CGG100-polyG-NL3xFLAG reporter 3xFLAG representative immunoblot with native polyR-frame ACG or AAA mutation in HEK293T cells, quantified at right as FLAG signal from all bands normalized to Tubulin (ACG versus AAA: P = 0.0094, n = 3). (D) CGG100-polyG-NL3xFLAG reporter mRNA expression in HEK293T cells by RT-qPCR (P = 0.1637, n = 3). b,c,d. two-sided unpaired student's t-test. Graphs are mean ± stdev. **P< 0.01, ****P< 0.0001.
