Microarray analysis of TAP::ALG-1 associated RNAs isolated from synchronized 'wild-type' animals and 'mir-58' mutants
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To discover new miRNA targets, we generated a C. elegans transgenic line expressing a functional N-terminally Tandem Affinity Purification (TAP) tagged ALG-1 protein (C. elegans strain WS4303). We crossed the TAP::ALG-1 transgene into the mir-58(n4640) mutant background to generate the strain WS5041. For simplicity, we will hereafter term the TAP::ALG-1 transgenic animals as wild typeand the transgenic WS5041 animals as mir-58. We compared the mRNA population that coimmunopurified with TAP::ALG-1 from synchronized L4 stage wild-type animals with that from synchronized L4 stage mir-58 mutant animals by one-color Affymetrix gene arrays. miR-58 target mRNAs should be specifically underrepresented in the latter samples.
