Project description:This study explores whether HuD could bind to and regulate the expression circRNAs from genes associated with neuronal development and synaptic plasticity circRNAs bound to HuD were isolated from the striatum of HuD-OE mice by RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) as described in Bolognani et al, 2010 (https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkp863) using Dynabeads® (Thermo Fisher Scientific) coated with mouse monoclonal anti-myc tag antibody (9B11; Cell Signalling Technology Inc.) specifically recognizing myc-tagged HuD transgenic protein expressed in HuD-OE as described before (Bolognani et al., 2010; Zimmerman et al., 2020). Controls for RIP assays were performed using either non-immune IgG and HuD-OE tissue or the myc-tag antibody and wild type (WT) tissue.
