Dithiothreitol (DTT) acts as a specific, UV-inducible cross-linker in elucidation of protein-RNA interactions


ABSTRACT: In the present paper, we introduce dithiothreitol (DTT) as a potent protein-RNA cross-linker. To prove this three model systems, a) a small synthetic peptide from smB'/B protein incubated with U1snRNA oligonucleotide, b) in vitro reconstituted 15.5K protein with U4 snRNA oligonucleotide and c) native ribonucleoprotein-complexes (RNPs) from S. cerevisiae were used . All protein-RNA complexes were UV irradiated and heteroconjugates cross-linked enriched prior to LC-MS analysis. Our results unambiguously show that DTT covalently participates in cysteine-uracil crosslinks which is observable as a mass increments of 152 Da upon mass spectrometric analysis.

Protein-RNA cross-linking by UV irradiation at 254 nm wavelength has been established as an unbiased method to identify proteins in direct contact with RNA, and has been successfully applied to investigate the spatial arrangement of protein and RNA in large macromolecular assemblies, e.g. ribonucleoprotein-complex particles (RNPs). The mass spectrometric analysis of such peptide-RNA cross-links provides high resolution structural data to the point of mapping protein-RNA interactions to specific  ...[more]
