Project description:We used P19 cells that overexpress GFP-tagged SRSF7 by 3.4-fold and expression-matched SRSF7 mutants that either lack a functional Zinc-knuckle domain or a part of their RS-domain and compared the extent and pattern of binding to mRNAs. For this we performed iCLIP using anti-GFP antibodies. We also performed iCLIP from monosomal and polysomal fractions. In addition we performed iCLIP using anti-SRSF7 antibodies to compare the binding patterns of SRSF7-GFP, endogenous SRSF7 protein and its truncated SRSF7_RRM variant.
Project description:Our ChIP resuls suggested that coilin association with U3, snRNA and histone genes might be dependent on coilin-RNA interaction. We used iCLIP of coilin-GFP expressed in HeLa and P19 cell lines at endogenous levels to identify coilin RNA targets and investigate RNA-binding specificity. P19 cells expressing GFP fused to a nuclear localization signal (GFP-NLS) was used as a negative control. iCLIP results revealed that coilin binds several classes of ncRNA including snRNAs, U3 snoRNA and scaRNAs. Interestlignly the majority of coilin targets were intronic snoRNAs, suggesting a novel role of CBs in snoRNA biogenesis. 5 biological replicates from P19 and 2 biological replicates from HeLa cells after UV-crosslinking. Negative control samples prepared from GFP-NLS fusion protein are stored uder accession E-MTAB-747.
