Chemotranscriptomic Profiling with a Thiamine Monophosphate Photoaffinity Probe


ABSTRACT: RNA is a multifaceted biomolecule with numerous biological functions and can interact with small molecule metabolites as exemplified by riboswitches. Here, we profile the Escherichia Coli transcriptome on interactions with the metabolite Thiamine Monophosphate (TMP). We designed and synthesized a photoaffinity probe based on the scaffold of TMP and applied it to chemotranscriptomic profiling. Using next-generation RNA sequencing, several potential interactions between bacterial transcripts and the probe were identified. A remarkable interaction between the TMP probe and the well-characterized ribB riboswitch was validated by RT-qPCR, and further verified with competition assays. Localization of the photocrosslinked nucleotides using reverse transcription and docking predictions of the probe suggested binding to the riboswitch aptamer. After examining binding of unmodified TMP to the riboswitch using SHAPE, we found selective yet moderate binding interactions, potentially mediated by the phosphate group of TMP. Lastly, TMP appeared to enhance gene expression of a reporter gene that is under riboswitch control, while the natural ligand Flavin Mononucleotide (FMN) displayed an inhibitory effect, hinting at a potential biological role of TMP. This work showcases the possibility of chemotranscriptomic profiling to identify new RNA-small molecule interactions.
