Mapping snoRNA-target RNA interactions in an RNA-binding protein-dependent manner with chimeric eCLIP.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that function in ribosome and spliceosome biogenesis, primarily by guiding modifying enzymes to specific sites on ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and spliceosomal RNA (snRNA). However, many orphan snoRNAs remain uncharacterized, with unidentified or unvalidated targets, and studies on additional snoRNA-associated proteins are limited.

Results

We adapted an enhanced chimeric eCLIP approach to comprehensively profile snoRNA-target RNA interactions using both core and accessory snoRNA-binding proteins as baits. Using core snoRNA-binding proteins, we confirmed most annotated snoRNA-rRNA and snoRNA-snRNA interactions in mouse and human cell lines and called novel, high-confidence interactions for orphan snoRNAs. While some of the
