TY - JOUR TI - Affinity Purification of the RNA Degradation Complex, the Exosome, from HEK-293 Cells AU - Domanski, Michal AU - LaCava, John VL - 7 IS - 8 PY - 2017 DA - 2017/04/20 SP - e2238 C1 - Bio-protocol 2017;7:e2238 DO - 10.21769/BioProtoc.2238 UR - https://doi.org/10.21769/BioProtoc.2238 AB - The RNA exosome complex plays a central role in RNA processing and regulated turnover. Present both in cytoplasm and nucleus, the exosome functions through associations with ribonucleases and various adapter proteins (reviewed in [Kilchert et al., 2016]). The following protocol describes an approach to purify RNA exosome complexes from HEK-293 cells, making use of inducible ectopic expression, affinity capture, and rate-zonal centrifugation. The obtained RNA exosomes have been used successfully for proteomic, structural, and enzymatic studies (Domanski et al., 2016).
