Abstract
Ribonucleic acids (RNA) are associated with a multitude of RNA-binding proteins that regulate RNA. To identify in vivo targets of the RNA-binding protein AtGRP7, researchers from the University of Bielefeld have established individual nucleotide resolution crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (iCLIP) in plants. The use of high-affinity Nanobodies, i. e., the GFP-Trap®, enabled the purification of RNA-protein complexes from complex plant cell extracts and their subsequent analysis. They identified 858 AtGRP7 RNA targets and binding sites and showed that AtGRP7 modulates the circadian expression of its targets.
