Glycolytic body (G body) RIP-sequencing

Glycolytic (G) bodies were purified from hypoxic yeast using differential centrifugation and immunoprecipitation by Pfk2-GFP-Flag in order to determine the RNAs that localize to G bodies by determining the enrichment of RNAs copurified with G bodies over both the flow through and total RNA fractions. We find significant overlap between enriched RNAs and RNAs bound by glycolysis enzymes in normoxic conditions. Our study determined that RNA is an integral component of G bodies and is required for G body formation. Specific mRNAs are only slightly enriched in G bodies.
