RNA distribution in polysome fractions obtained from cells overexpressing SINEUP RBPs. (A) Representative polysome gradient profile with optical density (290 nm). Fractions Inline graphic and Inline graphic correspond to the 15% and 45% sucrose fractions, respectively. (B) Polysome profiling of EGFP mRNA (green) and SINEUP-GFP RNA (blue). RNA distribution was quantified by RT-qPCR. Each fraction of EGFP mRNA in cells co-transfected with EGFP and SINEUP-GFP vectors (d–f) was compared with the corresponding fraction in cells transfected with EGFP vector alone (a–c). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 by Student's t-test. Data are means ± SD from three independent experiments. Fractions of SINEUP RNA in cells co-transfected with EGFP and SINEUP-GFP vectors are shown in g-i, and those in cells transfected with SINEUP RNA alone are shown in m. The protein distribution in polysome fractions with non-/overexpressed PTBP1 or HNRNPK were tested (j-m). Equal volumes of solution were pooled as Free/40S (Free or 40S binding RNA fraction from Inline graphicInline graphic in A), Mono (monosome fraction from Inline graphicInline graphic), Light (light polysome fraction from Inline graphicInline graphic), and Heavy (Heavy polysome fraction from Inline graphicInline graphic) and were applied to 10% SDS gels to detect each target protein. Western blotting images representative of least three independent experiments are shown.
