研究目的
Investigating the protocol for covalently linking transiently interacting RNA-protein complexes by UV crosslinking, removing the unprotected RNA by RNase digestion, and detecting the RNA-protein complexes by SDS-PAGE analysis.
研究成果
The described protocol provides a rapid and reliable means to directly assay RNA-protein interactions and their kinetics, facilitating the identification of novel RNA-protein interactions.
研究不足
The protocol requires specific equipment like UV crosslinkers and phosphorimagers, and the use of radiolabeled materials necessitates proper biosafety protocols.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The protocol involves UV crosslinking to covalently link RNA-protein complexes, RNase digestion to remove unprotected RNA, and SDS-PAGE analysis to detect the complexes.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Uses purified proteins and cell lysates for RNA-protein binding assays.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes microcentrifuge tubes, 96-well plates, transcription kits, radiolabeled UTP, RNase inhibitors, and UV crosslinkers among others.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Detailed steps for template preparation, RNA preparation, RNA-protein binding, UV crosslinking, and separation of RNA-protein complexes.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Phosphorimaging and X-ray film development for visualizing RNA-protein complexes.
