Project description:UV cross-linking and immunoprecipiatation with high throughput sequencing of cytoplasmic SLBP RNP Polyclonal α-SLBP antibody was used to immunoprecipitate UV-crosslinked SLBP RNP from cytoplasmic HeLa lysates. Mock immunoprecipitation were also performed and serve as a negative control.

Project description:UV cross-linking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP) and individual-nucleotide resolution CLIP (iCLIP) are the most frequently used methods to study protein-RNA interactions in the intact cells and tissues, but their relative advantages or inherent biases have not been evaluated. To benchmark CLIP and iCLIP method, we performed iCLIP with Nova protein, which is the most extensively studied protein by CLIP. Further, we assessed UV-C-induced cross-linking preferences, by exploiting the UV-independent formation of covalent RNA cross-links of the mutant RNA methylase NSUN2.
Project description:In neurons, mRNAs and associated RNA-binding proteins assemble into ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules essential to regulate mRNA trafficking, local translation, and turnover. Dysregulation of RNA-protein condensation can disturb synaptic plasticity. We report that the novel lncRNA mimi is a constitutive and essential component of large cytoplasmic condensates (RNP granules) in fly neurons that are biochemically enriched by differential centrifugation. Here, employing relative iBAQ quantification we carry out a differential proteomic analysis of cytoplasmic RNP granules in wild-type versus delta-mimi mutant fly brains. Brain lysates from wild-type and mutant flies serve as a general proteome input control.
Project description:In the quick cross-linking ligation and sequencing of hybrids (qCLASH) protocol, RNA-protein (RNP) complexes of interest are UV cross-linked in living cells. The protein of interest is purified by immunoprecipitation (in this case, AGO bound to the miRNA and the target gene). The two interacting RNA molecules (e.g. miRNA-mRNA) are physically bound to each other by intermolecular RNA-RNA ligation, followed by library preparation and sequencing oh hybrids.
Project description:To investigate the possible consequences of APOBEC1 editing for miRNA targeting, high-throughput sequencing of RNA isolated by cross-linking immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP) of the Argonaute (Ago) proteins (Chi et al., 2009) was performed in BMDMs derived from wild-type and Apobec1-/- littermates.
Project description:RNA binding proteins (RBPs) control varied processes, including RNA splicing, stability, transport, and translation. Dysfunctional RNA-RBP interactions contribute to the pathogenesis of human disease, however, characterizing the nature and dynamics of multiprotein assemblies on RNA has been challenging. To address this, non-isotopic ligation-based ultraviolet crosslinking immunoprecipitation was combined with mass spectrometry (irCLIP-RNP) to identify RNA-dependent associated proteins (RDAPs) co-bound to RNA with any RBP of interest. irCLIP-RNP defined landscapes of multimeric protein assemblies on RNA, uncovering previously unknown patterns of RBP-RNA associations, including cell-type-selective combinatorial relationships between RDAPs and primary RBPs. irCLIP-RNP also defined dynamic RDAP remodeling in response to epidermal growth factor (EGF), uncovering EGF-induced recruitment of UPF1 adjacent to HNRNPC to effect splicing surveillance of cell proliferation mRNAs. To identify the RNAs simultaneously co-bound by multiple studied RBPs, a sequential immunoprecipitation irCLIP (Re-CLIP) method was also developed. Re-CLIP confirmed binding relationships seen in irCLIP-RNP and identified HNRNPC and UPF1 RBP co-binding on RND3 and DDX3X mRNAs. irCLIP-RNP and Re-CLIP provide a framework to identify and characterize dynamic RNA-protein assemblies in living cells.
