Studying miRNA–mRNA Interactions: An Optimized CLIP-Protocol for Endogenous Ago2-Protein
Transcriptome-wide analysis of RNA-binding partners is commonly achieved using UV crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP). Individual-nucleotide-resolution CLIP (iCLIP)enables identification of the specific position of the protein–RNA interaction. In addition to RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), micr...

description | Transcriptome-wide analysis of RNA-binding partners is commonly achieved using UV crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP). Individual-nucleotide-resolution CLIP (iCLIP)enables identification of the specific position of the protein–RNA interaction. In addition to RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), microRNA (miRNA)–mRNA interactions also play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression. Argonaute-2 (Ago2) mediates miRNA binding to a multitude of mRNA target sites, enabling the identification of miRNA–mRNA interactions by employing modified Ago2-CLIP protocols. Here, we describe an Ago2-specific CLIP protocol optimized for the use of small quantities of cell material, targeting endogenous Ago2 while avoiding possible methodological biases such as metabolic labeling or Ago2 overexpression and applying the latest advances in CLIP library preparation, the iCLIP2 protocol. In particular, we focus on the optimization of lysis conditions and improved radioactive labeling of the 5′ end of the miRNA. |
