Abstract

This report describes a method that combines nuclease protection and site-specific labeling to determine sites and extents of RNA–protein interactions. The utility of the method is demonstrated by the analysis of the binding of factors to the 3′ splice site region of a pre-mRNA labeled at three specific positions. This “reverse footprinting” technique should be widely applicable to a variety of questions concerning RNA–protein interactions.
