Project description:To identify cell type-specific RNA without cell sorting, mice expressing UPRT in a specific cell type were exposed to 4-thiouracil to label RNA only in the UPRT-expressing cells. Total RNA was extracted from tissues and treated with iodoacetamide followed by RNA-seq library preparation. The reads generated from 4-thiouracil-containing transcripts should contain T to C mismatches as a result of 4-thiouracil incorporations and thus can be identified as the transcripts generated in the UPRT-expressing cells.
Project description:Hek293 cells were metabolically labelled using 4-thiouracil as described in (Schwalb et al, Science. 2016 Jun 3;352(6290):1225-8) but without fragmentation, and then bulk RNA was prepared for sequencing using the STRT method (Islam et al, Genome Res. 2011 Jul;21(7):1160-7). Samples were incubated in duplicate for 5, 15 and 30 minutes and included an unlabeled control representing the steady-state expression state.
Project description:LC-MS/MS data files of fully 13C labelled and 12C plant tissues, which were utilized to determine the carbon element number for metabolite characterizations.
Project description:Pulse chase measurements using thiouracil (DTU) labeling via UPRT and chasing with uracil Data from tachyzoites is labeled "DTU Pulse Chase". Two independent pulse chase experiments were performed in tachyzoites, pulse chase 1 and 2. Duplicate arrays at each timepoint were performed for pulse chase 2 (2 a and b). Data from bradyzoites are labeled "DTU Bradyzoite Pulse Chase". Two independent pulse chase experiments were performed in bradyzoites and a single set of arrays were performed for each experiment. Just one chase timepoint was used in the bradyzoite experiments, the 2 hour chase. An RNA stablity experiment design type examines stability and/or decay of RNA transcripts.

Project description:We show that the combination of spatially restricted uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (UPRT) expression with 4-thiouracil (4TU) delivery can be used to label and purify cell type specific RNA from intact complex tissues. This method is useful for isolating RNA from cell types that are difficult to isolate by dissection or dissociation methods and should work in any organism where UPRT can be spatially expressed, including mammals and other vertebrates.
Project description:We measure the stability of mRNAs in rapidly dividing yeast by metabolic labeling with thiouracil and determine the effects on mRNA stability in the presence of various inhibitors of translation elongation and initiation.
