RIPiT-Seq: a high-throughput approach for footprinting RNA:protein complexes.

ABSTRACT: Development of high-throughput approaches to map the RNA interaction sites of individual RNA binding proteins (RBPs) transcriptome-wide is rapidly transforming our understanding of post-transcriptional gene regulatory mechanisms. Here we describe a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) footprinting approach we recently developed for identifying occupancy sites of both individual RBPs and multi-subunit RNP complexes. RNA:protein immunoprecipitation in tandem (RIPiT) yields highly specific RNA footprints of cellular RNPs isolated via two sequential purifications; the resulting RNA footprints can then be identified by high-throughput sequencing (Seq). RIPiT-Seq is broadly applicable to all RBPs regardless of their RNA binding mode and thus provides a means to map the RNA binding sites of RBPs with poor inherent ultraviolet (UV) crosslinkability. Further, among current high-throughput approaches, RIPiT has the unique capacity to differentiate binding sites of RNPs with overlapping protein composition. It is therefore particularly suited for studying dynamic RNP assemblages whose composition evolves as gene expression proceeds.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) have been applied as important molecular markers in genetics and breeding studies. The rapid advance of next generation sequencing (NGS) provides a high-throughput means of SNP discovery. However, SNP development is limited by the availability of reliable SNP discovery methods. Especially, the optimum assembler and SNP caller for accurate SNP prediction from next generation sequencing data are not known. RESULTS:Herein we performed SNP prediction based on RNA-seq data of peach and mandarin peel tissue under a comprehensive comparison of two paired-end read lengths (125?bp and 150?bp), five assemblers (Trinity, IDBA, oases, SOAPdenovo, Trans-abyss) and two SNP callers (GATK and GBS). The predicted SNPs were compared with the authentic SNPs identified via PCR amplification followed by gene cloning and sequencing procedures. A total of 40 and 240 authentic SNPs were presented in five anthocyanin biosynthesis related genes in peach and in nine carotenogenic genes in mandarin. Putative SNPs predicted from the same RNA-seq data with different strategies led to quite divergent results. The rate of false positive SNPs was significantly lower when the paired-end read length was 150?bp compared with 125?bp. Trinity was superior to the other four assemblers and GATK was substantially superior to GBS due to a low rate of missing authentic SNPs. The combination of assembler Trinity, SNP caller GATK, and the paired-end read length 150?bp had the best performance in SNP discovery with 100% accuracy both in peach and in mandarin cases. This strategy was applied to the characterization of SNPs in peach and mandarin transcriptomes. CONCLUSIONS:Through comparison of authentic SNPs obtained by PCR cloning strategy and putative SNPs predicted from different combinations of five assemblers, two SNP callers, and two paired-end read lengths, we provided a reliable and efficient strategy, Trinity-GATK with 150?bp paired-end read length, for SNP discovery from RNA-seq data. This strategy discovered SNP at 100% accuracy in peach and mandarin cases and might be applicable to a wide range of plants and other organisms.
