Tailing and 3'-end labeling of RNA with yeast poly(A) polymerase and various nucleotides.

چکیده
We have tested conditions for the labeling and tailing the 3'-end of RNAs with yeast poly(A) polymerase. Conditions were optimized for addition of NTP, dNTP, or ddNTP nucleotides to RNA. ATP, GTP, and UTP were useful for adding homopolymer tracts of various lengths. The nonradioactive nucleotides biotin-N6-ATP and digoxigenin-11-UTP also were used efficiently.

Method for determining RNA 3' ends and application to human telomerase RNA.
Mapping the 3′ ends of RNA molecules at nucleotide sequence resolution is a frequently encountered problem. S1 nuclease mapping (1) is a sensitive and often very successful approach for localizing 3′ ends, although it does not usually allow specification of an exact end with confidence. Enzymatic labeling of the 3′-terminus of an RNA followed by RNA sequencing is readily applicable to RNAs that...
متن کاملSite-specific terminal and internal labeling of RNA by poly(A) polymerase tailing and copper-catalyzed or copper-free strain-promoted click chemistry
The modification of RNA with fluorophores, affinity tags and reactive moieties is of enormous utility for studying RNA localization, structure and dynamics as well as diverse biological phenomena involving RNA as an interacting partner. Here we report a labeling approach in which the RNA of interest--of either synthetic or biological origin--is modified at its 3'-end by a poly(A) polymerase wit...
متن کاملEfficient N-tailing of blunt DNA ends by Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase
Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase (MMLV-RT) is a widely used enzyme for cDNA synthesis. Here we show that MMLV-RT has a strong template-independent polymerase activity using blunt DNA ends as substrate that generates 3' overhangs of A, C, G, or T. Nucleotides were appended efficiently in the order A > G > T > C, and tail lengths varied from 4 to 5, 2 to 7, 2 to 4, and 2 to 3 f...
متن کاملSurvey of four different photoreactive moieties for DNA photoaffinity labeling of yeast RNA polymerase III transcription complexes.
In order to optimize the detection of protein-DNA contacts by DNA photoaffinity labeling, we attached four different photoreactive groups to DNA and examined their ability to crosslink yeast RNA polymerase III (Pol III) transcription complexes. Photoreactive nucleotides containing an aryl azide (AB-dUMP), benzophenone (BP-dUMP), perfluorinated aryl azide (FAB-dUMP) or diazirine (DB-dUMP) couple...
متن کاملThe major yeast poly(A)-binding protein is associated with cleavage factor IA and functions in premessenger RNA 3'-end formation.
Polyadenylation of premessenger RNAs occurs posttranscriptionally in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells by cleavage of the precursor and polymerization of adenosine residues. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the mature poly(A) tail ranges from 60 to 70 nucleotides. 3'-end processing can be reproduced in vitro with purified factors. The cleavage reaction requires cleavage factors I and II (CF...
