After linearization of the plasmids, T7 RNA polymerase (Roche, Basel, Switzerland, Cat#10881767001) and biotin RNA labelling mix (Roche, Cat#11685597910) were used to synthesize transcripts of the MEG3 v2 full-length [20 (link)]. Then, the transcripts were treated with DNase I and EDTA. Meanwhile, proteins were extracted and lysed from PSCs. In vitro biotinylated RNAs (2 µg) were incubated with streptavidin beads overnight, and then pulled down the proteins by complex. The beads were washed five times with wash buffer. Then, the protein complexes associated with beads were analysed by mass spectrometry and western blot. The mass spectrometry results of the sense strand and antisense strand were compared to find the protein that specifically binds to MEG3.
