RNase-assisted RNA chromatography with RNAse A/T1 was performed, using in vitro-transcribed pri-mir-30c-1 and total MCF7 cell extracts28 (link). RNA-bound proteins were separated using 4–12% NUPAGE bis–tris system (Invitrogen) and individual lanes were subjected to mass spectroscopy (BSRC Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Facility, University of St Andrews). Results were confirmed by western blot analysis with anti-SRSF3 (MBL), anti-PARP-1 (Santa Cruz), anti-DDX17 (Santa Cruz), anti-hnRNPA1 (Thermo Scientific) and anti-FUS (Abcam) specific antibodies, as indicated above (Western blot analysis section).
