RNA binding proteins (RBP) and small RNAs regulate the editing, localization, stabilization, translation, and degradation of ribonucleic acids (RNAs) through their interactions with specific cis-acting elements within target RNAs. Here, we describe a novel method to detect protein-mRNA interactions, which combines FLAG-peptide modified, multiply-labeled tetravalent RNA imaging probes (FMTRIPs) with proximity ligation (PLA), and rolling circle amplification (RCA). This assay detects native RNA in a sequence specific and single RNA sensitive manner, and PLA allows for the quantification and localization of protein-mRNA interactions with single-interaction sensitivity.
RNA结合蛋白(RBP)和小RNA通过与靶RNA内特定的顺式作用元件相互作用,调节核糖核酸(RNA)的编辑、定位、稳定性、翻译和降解。在此,我们描述了一种检测蛋白质与mRNA相互作用的新方法,该方法将FLAG肽修饰的、多重标记的四价RNA成像探针(FMTRIPs)与邻近连接(PLA)和滚环扩增(RCA)相结合。该检测方法以序列特异性和单RNA敏感性的方式检测天然RNA,并且PLA能够以单相互作用敏感性对蛋白质与mRNA的相互作用进行定量和定位。
