A qualitative and quantitative framework for the characterization of protein-RNA interactions by cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS)

Izabela Smok, Aurélie Zbinden, Johannes Osterroth…·Alexander Leitner

This paper introduces a XL-MS workflow combining DDA and PRM for quantitative characterization of protein-RNA interactions, applied to TDP-43 and FOX1 complexes.

Monomeric TDP-43 binds GU-rich RNA via its NTD but only its oligomers block cryptic exon inclusion

Aurélie Zbinden, Izabela Smok, Flaminia Pellegrini…·Magdalini Polymenidou

This study shows that the NTD of TDP-43 binds UG-rich RNA on monomers, while oligomerization is essential for repressing cryptic exons.
