Calvin Tiengwe works on posttranscriptional gene regulation and iron homeostasis in the parasitic protozoan In this article, he reflects on how the paper "Comprehensive identification of RNA-protein interactions in any organism using orthogonal organic phase separation (OOPS)" by Queiroz et al. (Nat Biotechnol 37:169-178, 2019, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41587-018-0001-2) influenced his research by providing a tool to capture RNA-protein complexes on a global scale using acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform (AGPC), an old method hitherto applied for RNA, DNA, or protein purification.
卡尔文·蒂恩格威(Calvin Tiengwe)从事于转录后基因调控和寄生原生动物铁稳态方面的研究。在这篇文章中,他反思了 Queiroz 等人的论文“使用正交有机相分离(OOPS)全面鉴定任何生物体中的 RNA-蛋白质相互作用”(Nat Biotechnol 37:169-178, 2019, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41587-018-0001-2)如何通过使用酸胍硫氰酸盐-酚-氯仿(AGPC)这一古老方法(迄今已用于 RNA、DNA 或蛋白质纯化)在全球范围内捕获 RNA-蛋白质复合物,为他的研究提供了一个工具,从而影响了他的研究。该方法能够识别任何生物体中的 RNA-蛋白质相互作用。
