Abstract
RNA-protein interactions play indispensable roles in the regulation of cellular functions. Biochemical characterization of these complexes is often done by immunoprecipitation (IP) of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) followed by identification of co-immunoprecipitated RNAs. This protocol couples ultraviolet (UV) irradiation with IP to determine whether a specific protein interacts directly with a specific RNA in living cells.Keywords: Cross-linking protocol (CLIP); Immunoprecipitation; Northern blotting; Proteinase K treatment; RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and cell-mixing protocols; RNA–protein interactions; Ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs); Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) Lysis Buffer; UV cross-linking; Western blotting
