Project description:Genome-wide probing of nascent RNA structure in eukaryotes reveals dynamics of cotranscriptional folding and its anticorrelation with spontaneous mutation rate of DNA
Project description:Reactive small-molecule probes are widely used for RNA structure probing, however current approaches largely measure average RNA transcript dynamics and do not resolve structural differences that occur during folding or transcript maturation. Here, we present SNIPER-seq, an RNA structure probing method relying upon metabolic labeling with 2’-aminodeoxycytidine, structure-dependent 2’-amino reaction with an aromatic isothiocyanate, and high-throughput RNA sequencing. Our method maps cellular RNA structure transcriptome-wide with temporal resolution enabling determination of transcript age-dependent RNA structural dynamics. We benchmark our approach against known RNA structures and investigate the dynamics of human 5S rRNA during ribosome biogenesis, revealing specific structural changes in 5S rRNA loops that occur over the course of several hours. Taken together, our work sheds light on the maturation and coordinated conformational changes that take place during ribosome biogenesis and provides a general strategy for surveying evolving RNA structural dynamics across the transcriptome.
Project description:RPA12 is a subunit of RNA polymerase I. We used microarrays to know the effect RPA12 deltion in lipid metabolism and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process.
