PIP-Seq
Protein Interaction Profile Sequencing
PIP-Seq sequences RBP interaction sites on both unprocessed and mature RNA species in crosslinked or noncrosslinked cells (Silverman et al., 2014) (Silverman et al., 2014). In PIP-seq, both RNase-sensitive and RNase-insensitive fragments are isolated and processed separately to differentiate which sequences are actually bound to RBPs and which are just insensitive to RNases.
First, crosslinked (through UV or formaldehyde) or noncrosslinked cells are lysed. The lysates are split into 2 batches: experimental and RNase-insensitivity control. The experimental/footprint samples are digested with double-stranded RNase (dsRNase) or single-stranded RNase (ssRNase) and subsequently treated with proteinase K to remove the RBPs. However, to screen for regions insensitive to RNases, the controls are first treated with proteinase K and then with ssRNase or dsRNase. Both sets of fragments are reverse-crosslinked and used to prepare strand-specific libraries. Each library is normalized using rehybridization and a thermostable duplex-specific nuclease, and then sequenced
Advantages:
- Sequences RNA regions bound to RBPs in unprocessed or mature RNAs
- Identifies regions that are insensitive to Rnases
- Can be used on tissues and whole organisms
- Strand-specific
Disadvantages:
- Limited resolution of small nucleotide bulges and loops (Foley et al., 2015)
- Formaldehyde crosslinking presents a risk of protein-protein linking, in addition to protein-RNA linking (Foley et al., 2015)
- Nucleases have limited diffusability into plant cells; an advantage of chemical probes, such as dimethyl sulfate (DMS) (Foley et al., 2015)
