Ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) are key regulators of cellular function. We established an efficient approach, crosslinking of segmentally isotope-labeled RNA and tandem mass spectrometry (CLIR-MS/MS), to localize protein-RNA interactions simultaneously at amino acid and nucleotide resolution. The approach was tested on polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 and U1 small nuclear RNP. Our method provides distance restraints to support integrative atomic-scale structural modeling and to gain mechanistic insights into RNP-regulated processes.
核糖核蛋白(RNP)是细胞功能的关键调节因子。我们建立了一种高效的方法,即分段同位素标记RNA交联与串联质谱分析(CLIR-MS/MS),以在氨基酸和核苷酸分辨率水平上同时定位蛋白质-RNA相互作用。该方法已在多嘧啶序列结合蛋白1和U1小核核糖核蛋白上进行了测试。我们的方法提供了距离限制,以支持整合的原子尺度结构建模,并深入了解RNP调节的过程。
