Project description:Key features of gene transcription, such as transcriptional pausing, divergent transcription, and enhancer RNA production can be explored using techniques based on the incorporation of synthetic nucleoside analogs into RNA, followed by pull-down and high-throughput sequencing. Whether these approaches can be adapted to expand our knowledge of the RNA-bound proteome is, however, unexplored. Here, we have designed a methodology (isolation of the newly transcribed RNA Interactome using ClicK reaction; RICK) based on the incorporation of 5-ethynyluridine (EU) into newly transcribed RNAs to systematically capture proteins bound to RNAs of wide scope including traditionally neglected non-polyadenylated RNAs. Amongst the novel RNA-binding proteins identified by RICK, we found mitotic regulators, components of the DNA damage response pathway, and epigenetic regulators. Because the protocol can be easily modified to include variations such as labeling time or transcriptional interference, RICK will enable an in depth and global interrogation of the RNA-bound proteome.

Project description:Expression data from NIH-3T3 cells treated with mock, 100 U/ml IFN alpha or 100 U/ml gamma for 1 or 3h on nt-RNA labeled for 30-60 min at different times of interferon treatment Differential gene expression caused by IFN alpha or gamma was analyzed in newly transcribed RNA (nt-RNA) of NIH-3T3 cells treated for 1 or 3 h. RNA was labeled for 30 to 60 min and separated from total cellular RNA (tc-RNA) following Trizol RNA preparation and thiol-specific biotinylation We used microarrays to analyze the effects of IFNalpha and gamma treatment in newly transcribed RNA (nt-RNA) Keywords: time course
Project description:Primary human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) were infected with vhs-null mutant of HSV-1 strain 17 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10. Newly transcribed RNA was labelled by adding 500µM 4-thiouridine (4sU) to the cell culture media for 1h. Total cellular RNA was isolated using Trizol. Newly transcribed RNA was purified following the protocol described in Raedle et al. JoVE 2013.
Project description:Primary human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) were infected with wild-type simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) strain 17 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10. Newly transcribed RNA was labelled by adding 500µM 4-thiouridine (4sU) to the cell culture media for 1h. Total cellular RNA was isolated using Trizol. Newly transcribed RNA was purified following the protocol described in Raedle et al. JoVE 2013. Newly transcribed RNA was labelled in one hour intervals during the first eight hours of HSV-1 infection. All nine 4sU-RNA samples as well as total cellular RNA of every second hour of infection were sent for sequencing. Two independent biological replicates were analysed.
