Background: Current biological research extensively describes the interactions of molecules such as RNA with other nucleic acids or proteins. However, the relatively recent discovery of nuclear phospholipids playing biologically relevant processes outside membranes, as well as, RNA-lipid interactions shows the need for new methods to explore the identity of these RNAs. Methods and results: In this study, we describe the method for LIPID-RNA isolation followed by sequencing and analysis of the RNA that has the ability to interact with the selected lipids. Here we utilized specific phospholipid coated beads for selective RNA binding. We tested RNA from organisms belonging to different realms (human, plant, and yeast), and tested their ability to bind a specific lipid. Conclusions: The results show several RNAs differentially enriched in the pull-down of phosphatidyl Inositol 4,5 bisphosphate coated beads. This method is helpful to screen lipid-binding RNA, which may have relevant biological functions. The method can be used with different lipids and comparison of pull-downs and can narrow the selection of RNAs that interact with a particular lipid for further studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
