Genome wide mapping of DBP6-HTP binding sites in yeast by CRAC

We report the application of the Cross-Linking and cDNA (CRAC) technique to identify binding sites of DBP6, ribosome assembly factors, on RNAs in vivo. Once sequenced, RNAs associated have been aligned to the yeast genomes and enrichment of specific RNAs has been studied in more details. Specifically apparition of Mutation/deletion in the reads are of interesdt since they mostly corresponds to prceise site of cross-link between bait protein and target RNA. Here DBP6-HTP is mostly bound to snoRNAs (SNR30, SNR10, SNR42, SRN3,SRN190 and SNR13) and 25S rRNA around the same binding sites of the identifed snoRNAs. Overall design: We compare sequences enrichement of RNAs associated to Nap1_HTP or to a mock (un-tagged) control after protein/RNA cross-link in vivo.
