RNA-RNA interactions enable specific targeting of noncoding RNAs to nascent pre-mRNAs and chromatin sites

ABSTRACT: We developed a general method based on RNA Antisense Purification (RAP) to identify the intermolecular RNA-RNA interactions of a target RNA (RAP-RNA). RAP-RNA identifies endogenous RNA-RNA complexes through in vivo crosslinking, RNA capture with antisense oligonucleotides, and high-throughput RNA sequencing. This approach provides a systematic view of other RNAs that interact with a target RNA, and furthermore can distinguish between direct and indirect RNA-RNA interactions through the use of crosslinking reagents with different reactivities with proteins and nucleic acids. We applied this method to numerous small and large noncoding RNAs, including U1 snRNA, Malat1 lncRNA, Xist lncRNA, U3 snoRNA, U17/Snora73a snoRNA and U12 snRNA. We examined the RNA and chromatin interactions of ncRNAs
