Abstract
RNA-protein interactions regulate a myriad of biological functions through formation of ribonucleoprotein complexes. These complexes may consist of one or more RNA-protein interaction network(s) providing additional layers of regulatory potential to the RNA. Moreover, since the protein-binding also regulates local and global structure of the RNA by structurally remodeling the latter, it is important to correlate RNA nucleotide flexibility with the site of protein-binding. We have discussed methods for chemical probing of structure of the RNA in the protein-free and protein-bound states in the preceding chapters. In this chapter, we describe a ribonucleoprotein mutational profiling (RNP-MaP) method for probing RNA-protein interaction networks.
