The RNA exosome complex plays a central role in RNA processing and regulated turnover. Present both in cytoplasm and nucleus, the exosome functions through associations with ribonucleases and various adapter proteins (reviewed in [Kilchert ., 2016]). The following protocol describes an approach to purify RNA exosome complexes from HEK-293 cells, making use of inducible ectopic expression, affinity capture, and rate-zonal centrifugation. The obtained RNA exosomes have been used successfully for proteomic, structural, and enzymatic studies (Domanski ., 2016).
RNA外切体复合物在RNA加工和调控周转中起核心作用。外切体存在于细胞质和细胞核中,通过与核糖核酸酶和各种衔接蛋白结合发挥作用(见[Kilchert ., 2016]综述)。以下方案描述了一种从HEK-293细胞中纯化RNA外切体复合物的方法,该方法利用了诱导性异位表达、亲和捕获和速率区带离心。所获得的RNA外切体已成功用于蛋白质组学、结构和酶学研究(Domanski ., 2016)。
