    Abstract RNA is a key regulator of almost every cellular process, and the structures adopted by RNA molecules are thought to be central to their functions. The recent fast-paced evolution of high-throughput sequencing-based RNA structure mapping methods has enabled the rapid in vivo structural interrogation of entire cellular transcriptomes. Collectively, these studies are shedding new light on the long underestimated complexity of the structural organization of the transcriptome - the RNA structurome. Moreover, recent analyses are challenging the view that the RNA structurome is a static entity by revealing how RNA molecules establish intricate networks of alternative intramolecular and intermolecular interactions and that these ensembles of RNA structures are dynamically regulated to finely tune RNA functions in living cells. This new understanding of how RNA can shape cell phenotypes has important implications for the development of RNA-targeted therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract RNA molecules perform numerous cellular functions necessary for cell viability, some of which can depend on the RNA's structure. Therefore, it is important to study RNA structure and RNA folding to better understand the molecular basis of these functions. RNA chemical mapping strategies to elucidate RNA structural changes involve using chemical reagents that form adducts or cleave RNA. Selective 2'-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension (SHAPE) measures RNA flexibility by modification of the 2' hydroxyl groups of flexible nucleotides. These RNA adducts can be detected using

    Abstract Structural features of RNA play an important role in its capability to perform various functions in biological systems. To probe structural features, chemical probes are used to conjugate or cleave RNA at solvent-accessible sites, differentiating between flexible and constrained regions. These conjugates or cleaved products are then detected using reverse transcription (RT), where enzymatic RNA-dependent DNA primer extension is abruptly halted at the conjugation site or cleavage site. Here, we provide an overview of methods to probe RNA structure in vitro using radioactively labeled DNA primers, which provide a highly sensitive method to visualize RT stop sites with gel electrophoresis. © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

    Abstract RNA molecules perform a wide variety of functions to control many cellular pathways. Critical to these roles is the ability of an RNA to fold into complex three-dimensional structures. As part of this folding, unique elements of RNA structure become more exposed or hidden to solvent and these properties are important to understand an RNAs final fold. Characterizing solvent accessibility can enable researchers to better understand the overall fold of an RNA and how it interacts with trans acting factors, such as proteins. Herein we describe the methods toward using light activated structural evaluation of RNA, or LASER, which measures purine nucleobase solvent accessibility. To date, LASER has been used inside and outside of cells to measure RNA solvent accessibility and RNA interactions with proteins.

    Abstract ConspectusThe discovery of previously unknown functional roles of RNA in biological systems has led to increased interest in revealing novel RNA molecules as therapeutic targets and the development of tools to better understand the role of RNA in cells. RNA metabolic labeling broadens the scope of studying RNA by incorporating of unnatural nucleobases and nucleosides with bioorthogonal handles that can be utilized for chemical modification of newly synthesized cellular RNA. Such labeling of RNA provides access to applications including measurement of the rates of synthesis and decay of RNA, cellular imaging for RNA localization, and selective enrichment of nascent RNA from the total RNA pool. Several unnatural nucleosides and nucleobases have been shown to be incorporated into RNA by endogenous RNA synthesis machinery of the cells. RNA metabolic labeling can also be performed in a cell-specific manner, where only cells expressing an essential enzyme incorporate the unnatural nucleobase into their RNA. Although several discoveries have been enabled by the current RNA metabolic labeling methods, some key challenges still exist: (i) toxicity of unnatural analogues, (ii) lack of RNA-compatible conjugation chemistries, and (iii) background incorporation of modified analogues in cell-specific RNA metabolic labeling. In this Account, we showcase work done in our laboratory to overcome these challenges faced by RNA metabolic labeling.To begin, we discuss the cellular pathways that have been utilized to perform RNA metabolic labeling and study the interaction between nucleosides and nucleoside kinases. Then we discuss the use of vinyl nucleosides for metabolic labeling and demonstrate the low toxicity of 5-vinyluridine (5-VUrd) compared to other widely used nucleosides. Next, we discuss cell-specific RNA metabolic labeling with unnatural nucleobases, which requires the expression of a specific phosphoribosyl transferase (PRT) enzyme for incorporation of the nucleobase into RNA. In the course of this work, we discovered the enzyme uridine monophosphate synthase (UMPS), which is responsible for nonspecific labeling with modified uracil nucleobases. We were able to overcome this background labeling by discovering a mutant uracil PRT (UPRT) that demonstrates highly specific RNA metabolic labeling with 5-vinyluracil (5-VU). Furthermore, we discuss the optimization of inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reactions for performing chemical modification of vinyl nucleosides to achieve covalent conjugation of RNA without transcript degradation. Finally, we highlight our latest endeavor: the development of mutually orthogonal chemical reactions for selective labeling of 5-VUrd and 2-vinyladenosine (2-VAdo), which allows for potential use of multiple vinyl nucleosides for simultaneous investigation of multiple cellular processes involving RNA. We hope that our methods and discoveries encourage scientists studying biological systems to include RNA metabolic labeling in their toolkit for studying RNA and its role in biological systems.
