CLIP-seq.), UV crosslinking immunoprecipitation (CLIP) combined with high-throughput sequencing (HITS), is a powerful technique to identify the RNA binding sites for any RBPs at the transcriptome wide. In addition, they are major components of the subcellular architecture, mediating protein-RNA interactions through translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play central roles in the regulation of multiple post-transcriptional processes such as alternative splicing, mRNA stability, translation, and mRNA transport.

PLoS ONE 15(4):Įditor: Thomas Preiss, John Curtin School of Medical Research, AUSTRALIA This optimized method enables us to accurately identify target genes and provides a snapshot of the protein-RNA interactions of nucleocytoplasmic shuttling RBPs.Ĭitation: Yugami M, Okano H, Nakanishi A, Yano M (2020) Analysis of the nucleocytoplasmic shuttling RNA-binding protein HNRNPU using optimized HITS-CLIP method. Importantly, this interaction was only observed in the cytoplasmic fraction, suggesting a role of cytoplasmic HNRNPU in mRNA stability control. Using this, we validated IL-6 expression by a nuclear RBP, HNRNPU, which directly binds the 3’-UTR of IL-6 mRNA in HeLa cells.
Variance of the yields was also reduced, and the experimental period was shortened by 2 days. Our protocol produced a 10-fold greater yield of pre-amplified CLIP library, which resulted in a low duplicate rate of CLIP-tag reads because the number of PCR cycles required for library amplification was reduced. Here we improved a more efficient, rapid, and reproducible CLIP method by optimizing BrdU-CLIP. However, HITS-CLIP protocol is still required for some optimization due to experimental complication, low efficiency and time-consuming, whose library has to be generated from very small amounts of RNAs. Crosslinking immunoprecipitation (CLIP), coupled with high-throughput sequencing (HITS-CLIP), is a powerful technique for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis by comprehensive identification of RBP target sequences at the transcriptome level. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) control many types of post-transcriptional regulation, including mRNA splicing, mRNA stability, and translational efficiency, by directly binding to their target RNAs and their mutation and dysfunction are often associated with several human neurological diseases and tumorigenesis.
