Transcriptome-wide identification of RNA-binding protein and microRNA target sites by PAR-CLIP.

ABSTRACT: RNA transcripts are subject to posttranscriptional gene regulation involving hundreds of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and microRNA-containing ribonucleoprotein complexes (miRNPs) expressed in a cell-type dependent fashion. We developed a cell-based crosslinking approach to determine at high resolution and transcriptome-wide the binding sites of cellular RBPs and miRNPs. The crosslinked sites are revealed by thymidine to cytidine transitions in the cDNAs prepared from immunopurified RNPs of 4-thiouridine-treated cells. We determined the binding sites and regulatory consequences for several intensely studied RBPs and miRNPs, including PUM2, QKI, IGF2BP1-3, AGO/EIF2C1-4 and TNRC6A-C. Our study revealed that these factors bind thousands of sites containing defined sequence motifs and have distinct preferences for exonic versus intronic or coding versus untranslated transcript regions. The precise mapping of binding sites across the transcriptome will be critical to the interpretation of the rapidly emerging data on genetic variation between individuals and how these variations contribute to complex genetic diseases.

Optimization of PAR-CLIP for transcriptome-wide identification of binding sites of RNA-binding proteins.

Project description:Photoactivatable-Ribonucleoside-Enhanced Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP) in combination with next-generation sequencing is a powerful method for identifying endogenous targets of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Depending on the characteristics of each RBP, key steps in the PAR-CLIP procedure must be optimized. Here we present a comprehensive step-by-step PAR-CLIP protocol with detailed explanations of the critical steps. Furthermore, we report the application of a new PAR-CLIP data analysis pipeline to three distinct RBPs targeting different annotation categories of cellular RNAs.

PARma: identification of microRNA target sites in AGO-PAR-CLIP data.

Project description:PARma is a complete data analysis software for AGO-PAR-CLIP experiments to identify target sites of microRNAs as well as the microRNA binding to these sites. It integrates specific characteristics of the experiments into a generative model. The model and a novel pattern discovery tool are iteratively applied to data to estimate seed activity probabilities, cluster confidence scores and to assign the most probable microRNA. Based on differential PAR-CLIP analysis and comparison to RIP-Chip data, we show that PARma is more accurate than existing approaches. PARma is available from http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/PARma.

Transcriptome-wide identification of RNA-binding protein and microRNA target sites by PAR-CLIP: sequencing data

Project description:We applied 4-thiouridine to cultured cells expressing the FLAG/HA-tagged RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) followed by UV 365 nm irradiation. The crosslinked RNA-protein complexes were isolated by immunoprecipitation, and the covalently bound RNA was partially digested with RNase T1 and radiolabeled. The radiolabeled RNPs were subsequenctly separated by SDS-PAGE, the crosslinked RNA segments recovered and converted into a cDNA library and sequenced.

Transcriptome-wide identification of RNA-binding protein and microRNA target sites by PAR-CLIP: IGF2BP data

Project description:To test the influence of IGF2BPs on the stability of their interacting mRNAs, as reported previously for some targets (Yisraeli, 2005), we simultaneously depleted all three IGF2BP family members using siRNAs and compared the cellular RNA from knockdown and mock-transfected cells on microarrays. The levels of transcripts identified by PAR-CLIP decreased in IGF2BP-depleted cells, indicating that IGF2BP proteins stabilize their target mRNAs. Moreover, transcripts that yielded clusters with the highest T to C mutation frequency were most destabilized (Figure 4G of PMID 20371350), indicating that the ranking criterion that we derived based on the analysis of PUM2 and QKI data generalizes to other RNA-binding proteins (RBPs).

Transcriptome-wide identification of RNA-binding protein and microRNA target sites by PAR-CLIP: QKI data

Project description:To assess whether the transcripts identified by PAR-CLIP are regulated by the RNA-binding protein (RBP) Quaking (QKI), we analyzed the mRNA levels of mock-transfected and QKI-specific siRNA-transfected cells with microarrays. Transcripts crosslinked to QKI were significantly upregulated upon siRNA transfection, indicating that QKI negatively regulates bound mRNAs (Figure 3H of PMID 20371350), consistent with previous reports of QKI being a repressor.
