4sUDRB-Seq
4-Thiouridine and 5,6-Dichlorobenzimidazole 1-b-D-Ribofuranoside Sequencing
4sUDRB-Seq investigates initiation frequencies and RNA elongation rates throughout the genome using 4-thiouridine (4-SU) and DRB (Fuchs et al., 2014). Cells are first treated with DRB to inhibit RNA elongation and arrest RNAPII at TSS. The cells are lysed, cleansed of DRB, and immediately incubated with 4-SU to label newly transcribed RNA molecules. Biotin is added to bind with 4-SU, and the tagged RNA is subsequently captured using streptavidin beads. The biotinylated RNA fragments are eluted and prepared for sequencing according to the protocol in the TruSeq RNA Library Preparation Kit
Advantages:
- Measures RNA elongation rate and transcription initiation rate simultaneously
- Sequencing reads behave dynamically throughout the transcription waveãuseful in determining transcription initiation rate accurately
- No previous knowledge of the sequence is needed
Disadvantages:
- High toxicity of 4-SU can debilitate experiments with slow elongation rates
- Measuring genome-wide transition of RNAPII into active elongation can be cost-inefficient, due to the high sequencing depth needed
- Dynamic sequence reads makes identification of transcript ends challenging
- Limited to cell cultures and other artificial systems, due to the requirement for incubation in the presence of labeled nucleotides
Reagents:
Illumina Library prep and Array Kit Selector
