This chapter explains the use of RNase-assisted RNA chromatography. RNA affinity chromatography is a powerful technique that is used to isolate and identify proteins that bind to a specific RNA ligand. The RNA of interest is attached to beads before protein lysates are passed over the column. In traditional RNA chromatography, bound proteins are eluted with high salt or harsh detergent, which can also release proteins that are nonspecifically bound to the beads. To avoid this, a new method was developed in which RNases are used to cleave RNA from the beads, releasing only RNA binding proteins (RBPs) and leaving behind proteins that are bound to the beads (Michlewski and Caceres, RNA 16(8):1673-1678, 2010). This chapter will describe the isolation of proteins that bind specifically to the distal region of the Selenoprotein S 3' untranslated region (3' UTR).

D002846	Chromatography, Affinity	A chromatographic technique that utilizes the ability of biological molecules, often ANTIBODIES, to bind to certain ligands specifically and reversibly.

D012333	RNA, Messenger	RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
