Plant RNA Interactome Capture: Revealing the Plant RBPome

Trends Plant Sci. 2017 Jun;22(6):449-451. doi: 10.1016/j.tplants.2017.04.006. Epub 2017 May 3.

Abstract

The application of RNA interactome capture to plants has enabled comprehensive determination of the plant RNA-binding proteome and the identification of novel families of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). The technique is providing insight into the evolution of the eukaryotic repertoire of RBPs and will enhance prospects for engineering RBPs to improve crop traits.

Keywords: RBPome; RNA-binding domain; RNA-binding protein; UV crosslinking.
