Expanding the Nucleoside Recoding Toolkit: Revealing RNA Population Dynamics with 6-thioguanisine
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) measures RNA abundance in a biological sample but does not provide temporal information about the sequenced RNAs. Metabolic labeling can be used to distinguish newly made RNAs from pre-existing RNAs. Mutations induced from chemical recoding of the hydrogen bonding pattern of the metabolic label can reveal which RNAs are new in the context of a sequencing experiment. These nucleotide recoding strategies have been developed for a single uridine analogue, 4-thiouridine (s4U), limiting the scope of these experiments. Here we report expansion of TimeLapse sequencing (TimeLapse-seq) to the guanosine analogue, 6-thioguanosine (s6G), which can be recoded under RNA-friendly nucleophilic-aromatic substitution conditions to produce adenine analogues (substituted 2-aminoadenosines). We demonstrate the first use of s6G recoding experiments to reveal transcriptome-wide RNA population dynamics.
