Abstract:Summary
Here, we describe a generic protocol for monitoring protein-RNA interaction using a cleavable GFP fusion of a recombinant RNA-binding protein. We detail each expression and purification step, including high salt and heparin column for contaminant RNA removal. After the assembly of RNA into the ribonucleoprotein complex, the MicroScale Thermophoresis assay enables the binding affinity to be obtained quickly with a small amount of sample. Further Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics simulat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
