UV-crosslinking and high throughput sequencing of cDNAs (CRAC) of the RNA chaperone Hfq in enterohaemorhaggic E. coli
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: UV-crosslinking and high througput sequencing of cDNAs (CRAC) was used to map the binding sites Hfq in enterohaemorhaggic E. coli (EHEC). Hfq was tagged with a His-FLAG dual affintiy tag and UV crosslinked after growth in the MEM-HEPES media essentailly as per Granneman et al (2009) PNAS. We additionally crosslinked Hfq in non-pathogenic E. coli K12 str. MG1655 grown in LE media. Hfq-RNA complexes were purified and trimmed using RNase A/T1. RNA fragments were isolated and converted to cDNA, PCR amplified and sequenced using Illumina Solexa GAxII and HiSeq2000 platforms. His-FLAG tagged Hfq and untagged controls were cultured to an OD of 0.8 and crosslinked with UV-C. Five replicates of tagged EHEC Hfq and 2 replicates of untagged Hfq were crosslinked. We have additionally crosslinked 2 replicates each of E. coli K12 tagged and untagged Hfq.
