项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We have preliminary evidence that small RNAs of the size of siRNA and miRNAs are coupled to modified nucleotides such as coenzyme A and bis-MGD. These modifications would allow small RNAs to covalently engage with the proteome to constitute nucleic acid bar codes on these proteins. We propose to use powerful nucleic acid hybridization and selection techniques to purify the proteins covalently linked to RNA and to use mass spectroscopy to identify those linked proteins. Using RNAi of these proteins we will survey for defects in small RNA function and thus an involvement of these proteins in the functions of small RNAs. Because all of the modifications are predicted to occur at the 5' end of small RNAs, most of these modified RNAs will have been systematically missed by surveys most of which demands 5' OH or 5' phosphates on the RNAs for cloning. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Our preliminary data points to the involvement of modified nucleotides in small RNA function. The implications of this research are enormous: if such small RNAs are the active components of RNAi and miRNA function, as it pertains to the engagement with the proteome, then the field of small RNAs may have systematically missed a major world of small RNAs. In the same way that by not looking at 22 nt for biology, by not being able to detect small RNAs with 5' modifications, the small RNA field may have another dark matter situation. We will remedy this.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们有初步证据表明，siRNA和miRNA大小的小RNA与辅酶A和BIS-MGD等修饰的核苷酸耦合。这些修饰将使小的RNA与蛋白质组共价互动，以构成这些蛋白质上的核酸条代码。我们建议使用强大的核酸杂交和选择技术来纯化与RNA共价关联的蛋白质，并使用质谱识别那些链接的蛋白质。使用这些蛋白质的RNAI，我们将调查小RNA功能中的缺陷，从而参与这些蛋白质中的小RNA功能。由于预计所有修改都会发生在小RNA的5'末端，因此大多数修改的RNA将被调查系统地遗漏，其中大多数要求在RNA上进行5'OH或5'磷酸盐以进行克隆。公共卫生相关性：我们的初步数据表明，修饰的核苷酸参与小RNA功能。这项研究的含义是巨大的：如果如此小的RNA是RNAi和miRNA功能的活性组成部分，因为它与与蛋白质组的互动有关，那么小RNA的领域可能会系统地错过小RNA的主要世界。就像不考虑生物学的22 nt一样，通过无法检测到5'修改的小RNA，小的RNA场可能会有另一种暗物质情况。我们将纠正这一点。
