Mapping hnRNP H binding sites on the RON wildtype minigene via iCLIP.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We developed a high-throughput mutagenesis screen to comprehensively identify the cis-regulatory elements that control a target splicing event from the MST1R gene that codes for the RON receptor tyrosine kinase. Skipping of alternative exon 11 results in a constitutively active isoform that promotes epithelial to mesenchymal transition and thereby contributes to the invasive phenotype of tumors. We identified the RNA binding protein hnRNP H as an important regulator of RON exon 11 splicing. To map hnRNP H binding sites on the RON minigene, we performed hnRNP H iCLIP with RON wildtype minigene transfected HEK293T cells. iCLIP was performed according to a previously published protocol (PMID: 26463384). The iCLIP libraries were made from two replicates of HEK293T cells at 24 h after RON minigene transfection. The cells were irradiated with 150 mJ/cm2 UV light at 254 nm. For the immunoprecipitation step, we used 7.5 µg of a polyclonal rabbit anti-HNRNPH antibody from Abcam (AB10374). RNase digestion was performed by adding 10 µl of 1/100 diluted RNase I (Ambion) to each sample. We performed the sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq2000 (75-nt single-end reads).
