Proximity-CLIP provides a snapshot of occupied cis-acting elements on RNA in different subcellular compartments on a transcriptome-wide scale

ABSTRACT: Many cellular RNAs localize to specific subcellular compartments. Currently, methods to systematically study subcellular RNA localization are limited and lagging behind proteomic approaches. Here, we combined APEX2-mediated proximity biotinylation of proteins with PAR-CLIP to simultaneously profile the proteome and the transcriptome bound by RNA binding proteins in any given subcellular compartment. Our approach is fractionation-independent and does not rely on additional RNA manipulation and labeling steps, thus making it easy to apply. Furthermore, it enables to study the locali-zation of RNA processing intermediates, as well as the identification of regulatory RNA cis-acting elements occupied in different cellular compartments. In a proof-of-concept study we studied RNA and protein localization in the nucleus, cytoplasm and at cell-cell interfaces using Proximity-CLIP. These experiments revealed among other in-sights frequent transcriptional readthrough continuing for several kilobases down-stream of the canonical cleavage and polyadenylation site, a differential binding pat-tern of nuclear and cytoplasmic mRNAs, as well as the localization of mRNAs contain-ing 3’UTR CUG sequence elements at cell-cell interfaces, of which many encode regulatory proteins.
