Our latest preprint, led by Skyler Kelly: we developed a platform for high-throughput cotranscriptional RNA biochemistry called Transcription Elongation Complex display. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Systematic analysis of cotranscriptional RNA folding using transcription elongation complex display

Systematic analysis of cotranscriptional RNA folding using transcription elongation complex display

RNA can fold into structures that mediate diverse cellular functions. Understanding how RNA primary sequence directs the formation of functional structures requires methods that can comprehensively...

Our latest preprint "Sequential structure probing of cotranscriptional RNA folding intermediates" is on bioRxiv. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Led by @CourtneySzyjka and anchored by Skyler Kelly, this preprint describes a method for detecting cotranscriptional RNA folding transitions.
Sequential structure probing of cotranscriptional RNA folding intermediates

Sequential structure probing of cotranscriptional RNA folding intermediates

Cotranscriptional RNA folding pathways typically involve the sequential formation of folding intermediates. Existing methods for cotranscriptional RNA structure probing map the structure of nascent...

And in the presence of ZMP, we also observed both folding transitions and (also as expected) clear signatures of ZMP binding.

We applied this method to 5 known folding transitions, which allowed us to assess it's generalizability and target RNA-specific challenges that may arise, which are described in detail in the preprint.

The translocation activity of Rad54 reduces crossover outcomes during homologous recombination

Homologous recombination (HR) is a template-based DNA double-strand break repair pathway that requires the selection of an appropriate DNA template for repair during the homology search stage of HR....

We have received a lot of requests for help with making streptavidin affinity grids. We are happy to finally share our protocol for robust in-house fabrication of streptavidin affinity grids. Stay tuned for the accompanying video that is coming soon! app.jove.com/t/66197/strepta…

We applied this to a ZTP riboswitch variant library to investigate the mechanisms by which variants that match the consensus sequence and structure misfold. Panel c illustrates the ZMP-mediated antitermination response for the 32,768 variants in the library!

We designed the TECdisplay platform to be broadly accessible and easy to use, so our hope is that this approach democratizes the development and application of high-throughput RNA biochemical assays.
