iCLIP of eIF4A3 and PTB in HeLa cells

HeLa cells were cultured in DMEM, supplemented with 10% (v/v) FCS and penicillin/streptomycin under 5% CO2 at 37°C. For iCLIP, HeLa cells expressing eIF4A3-GFP or PTB-GFP were induced with doxycycline to adjust the level of recombinant protein to the level of the endogenous counterpart and irradiated with 150 mJ/cm2 UV light (254 nm). The iCLIP cDNA libraries for eIF4A3 and PTB were sequenced with 50 bp on an Illumina HiSeq instrument.
