BackgroundRibosomal profiling has revealed the translation of thousands of sequences outside annotated protein-coding genes, including small open reading frames of less than 100 codons, and the translational regulation of many genes. Here we present an improved version of Poly-Ribo-Seq and apply it toDrosophila melanogasterembryos to extend the catalog of in vivo translated small ORFs, and to reveal the translational regulation of both small and canonical ORFs from mRNAs across embryogenesis.ResultsWe obtain highly correlated samples across five embryonic stages, with nearly 500 million putative ribosomal footprints mapped to mRNAs, and compare them to existing Ribo-Seq and proteomic data. Our analysis reveals, for the first time inDrosophila, footprints mapping to codons in a phased pattern, the hallmark of productive translation. We propose a simple binomial probability metric to ascertain translation probability. Our results also reveal reproducible ribosomal binding apparently not resulting in productive translation. This non-productive ribosomal binding seems to be especially prevalent amongst upstream short ORFs located in the 5′ mRNA leaders, and amongst canonical ORFs during the activation of the zygotic translatome at the maternal-to zygotic transition.ConclusionsWe suggest that this non-productive ribosomal binding might be due to cis-regulatory ribosomal binding and to defective ribosomal scanning of ORFs outside periods of productive translation. Our results are compatible with the main function of upstream short ORFs being to buffer the translation of canonical canonical ORFs; and show that, in general, small ORFs in mRNAs display markers compatible with an evolutionary transitory state towards full coding function.
