RNA immunoprecipitation to identify RHA-binding transcripts in HEK293 cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Given that RHA regulates translation by binding a PCE located at the 5’ UTR of the target transcripts a genome-wide screen was performed to identify mRNAs that bind RHA in vivo. The results from four experiments with samples obtained in four independent RNA immunoprecipitations identified 375 transcripts that co-immunoprecipitate with FLAG RHA.

The results from four experiments with samples obtained in four independent RNA immunoprecipitations identified 375 transcripts that co-immunoprecipitate with FLAG RHA. Since N-terminal FLAG tagged RHA specifically co-immunoprecipitates PCE-containing mRNAs HEK293 cells were transfected with a CMV-FLAG-RHA construct. Cytoplasmic lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-FLAG beads. RNA was extracted from the immunoprecipitate and used to probe a human Agilent expression arrays. An immunoprecipitation with cells transfected with empty FLAG plasmid was used as negative control.

Cytoplasmic lysates were pooled and immunoprecipitated with anti-FLAG beads. RNA was extracted from the immunoprecipitate and used to probe rhesus macaque Affimetrix expression arrays. Steady state mRNA levels were monitored on a separate array probed with total RNA.
Project description:RNA helicase A (RHA) binds its target transcripts at the post-transcriptional control element (PCE) located in the 5’ untranslated region (UTR). This interaction represents an “RNA switch” that regulates protein synthesis. Down regulation of RHA by siRNAs was used to identify transcripts with RHA-dependent translation. Reduced accumulation of RNA in polysomes was monitored with microarrays.

Reduced accumulation of RNA in polysomes was monitored with microarrays. Changes in cytoplasmic RNA steady state abundance was monitored as well. Sixty nine genes exhibit decreased transcript polysome association when subjected to RHA downregulation. A majority of the transcripts that experienced a reduction in the polysome fraction had no significant change in their cytoplasmic abundance (45 genes). Keywords: gene expression array-based

Cytoplasmic lysates of cells treated with RHA targeted or non-silencing control siRNAs were separated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Ribosomal RNA profiles were generated, containing heavy polysomes were collected, and RNA was extracted.

Project description:We hypothesized that RBM4 regulates HERVs by directly binding to their transcripts. To test this possibility, we performed photoactivatable ribonucleoside-enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP). We performed four independent PAR-CLIP replicates of our own using HAP1 cells stably expressing a FLAG-tagged RBM4 (FLAG-RBM4) transgene under control of a doxycycline-inducible promoter. Following metabolic labeling with 4-thiouridine (4SU) and crosslinking with ultraviolet light (UV) of 312 nm wavelength, we isolated RNA covalently linked to FLAG-RBM4. The RNA recovered from four biological replicates was converted into cDNA libraries and deep sequenced.
Project description:WT and TorsinKO HeLa cells were transfected with d133-ORF10-FLAG from KSHV. The protein was immunoprecipitated with anti-FLAG beads to investigate proteins contained within nuclear envelope blebs. A control sample with no specific immunoprecipitation was compared to the co-immunoprecipitations. Eluting proteins were ran into an SDS-PAGE gel and extracted for mass spectrometry analysis.
