Additional Information and Online Ordering

The Pierce RNA 3'-End Desthiobiotinylation Kit is optimized for labeling the 3'-end of single-stranded RNA using T4 RNA ligase. Once labeled, the RNA can be used as a probe or target for gel-shift EMSA reactions, Northern blots and protein-RNA interaction experiments. The desthiobiotinylated RNA also can be used to enrich for RNA binding proteins (RBP) using streptavidin affinity resin, because the desthiobiotin tag binds to streptavidin in a manner which allows gentle elution of the ribonucleoprotein complex. The labeling kit is also included as a component of the Thermo Scientific Pierce Magnetic RNA-Protein Pull-Down Kit.

Highlights:

• Non-radioactive

  – a single biotin labels has similar detection sensitivity as radioactivity

• Easy to use – RNA ligase and optimized reaction buffer are included

• Economical – only a fraction of the cost purchasing synthetic biotinylated RNA probes

• End-labeled – results in minimal disturbance of RNA secondary structure

• Flexible

  – desthiobiotin label may be used for detection or as an affinity handle for streptavidin resin

Includes:

• Desthiobiotinylated cytidine bisphosphate, T4 RNA ligase and buffer, unlabeled RNA oligonucleotide for use as a positive control, a biotinylated RNA probe standard, RNase inhibitor, glycogen, and ligation enhancing reagents

Recommended for:

• Northern blotting
• EMSA
• Enrichment of RNA binding proteins (RBP)
