Project description:The modified iCLIP protocol is based on the previously described protocol (Huppertz et al., 2014) with modifications that enable the definition of readthrough cDNAs. HeLa cells were crosslinked with 0.15mJ/cm2 254nm UV light. Protein G Dynabeads were used for immunoprecipitations (IP). For each IP, 100 l of beads were washed in iCLIP lysis buffer (50mM Tris-HCL pH 7.4, 100mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate), and incubated with the anti-eIF4A3 antibody or polyclonal mAb BB7 serum anti-PTBP1. To prepare the cell lysate, the cells were lysed with 1 mL iCLIP lysis buffer (final concentration 2mg/mL), sonicated (Bioruptor, 5x5 sec on/off), incubated with RNase I (1-2 x10-3 U/mL for eIF4A3) at 37C for 3 min, and centrifuged. After the pellet had dissolved, the mixture was diluted with H2O to 1000 L and an additional centrifugation was performed. The supernatant of the iCLIP lysis buffer (1 mL) and the MSB lysis buffer (1 ml) were combined and added to the antibody-coupled beads, which were then rotated at 4C for 2 h (final urea concentration 175 mM). The beads were then washed with high-salt washing buffer (50mM Tris-HCL pH 7.4, 1M NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate). After the first round of washes, the library was split into 10%, which were radioactively labelled (according to the basic iCLIP protocol), and 90%, which proceed through 3 adapter addition, an additional phosphorylation (0.2 l PNK, 0.4 l cold ATP (1mM), 0.4 l 10x PNK buffer, 3 l water) and a 5 marker ligation (6 l water, 5 l 4X ligation buffer, 2 l RNA ligase, 1 l RNasin, 2 l 5 marker (100 M), 4 l PEG400). The sequence of the 5 marker is CAGUCCGACGAUC, which corresponds to the Illumina short RNA 5 Adapter (RA5), part #15013205; this sequence is not complementary to the primers used for amplification of iCLIP cDNA libraries (Huppertz et al., 2014). We then produced sequence reads of 120 nt using the Illumina HiSeq platform for eIF4A3 iCLIP. The rest of the protocol was carried out as previously described (Huppertz et al., 2014).
