Screen for Ferry-associated RNAs

Goal: Identification of RNAs that are associated with the novel Ferry complex Methods: We performed a GST pulldown experiment, where GST-Ferry and GST were incubated with a HEK 293 cell lysate and extensively washed prior to elution. Subsequently, RNA was extracted from the elution and sequenced. Results: We identifed around 17 588 different transcripts and found a set of 252 mRNAs that are specifically enriched in the GST-Ferry sample. Conclusions: The Ferry complex seems to interact with a specific subset of mRNAs Overall design: mRNA extraction from a GST pulldown experiment using GST and GST-Ferry, incubated with HEK 293 lysate, in triplicates.
