circRNAs bound to HuD were isolated from the striatum of HuD-OE mice by RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) using Dynabeads® (Thermo Fisher Scientific) coated with mouse monoclonal anti-myc tag antibody (9B11; Cell Signaling Technology Inc.) specifically recognizing myc-tagged HuD transgenic protein expressed in HuD-OE as described before (Bolognani et al., 2010 (link); Zimmerman et al., 2020 (link)). Controls for RIP assays were performed using either non-immune IgG and HuD-OE tissue or the myc-tag antibody and wild type (WT) tissue. Aliquots for both RNA and proteins were taken before (input) and after the IP and circRNAs were quantitated using circRNAs arrays as described below. Immunoprecipitated RNA was extracted with Trizol® (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer instructions and subjected to either circRNA array or qRT-PCR as described below.
