Characterization of Modified RNA by Top-Down Mass Spectrometry**
نویسندگان
چکیده
Characteristic mass differences between fragment ions from backbone cleavage of RNA by electron detachment (d, w) and fragment ions from collisionally activated dissociation (c, y) provide extensive sequence information. Structure analysis by this approach should be especially useful for the detailed characterization of synthetic or post-transcriptionally modified RNA.

The identification and characterization of non-coding and coding RNAs and their modified nucleosides by mass spectrometry
The analysis of ribonucleic acids (RNA) by mass spectrometry has been a valuable analytical approach for more than 25 years. In fact, mass spectrometry has become a method of choice for the analysis of modified nucleosides from RNA isolated out of biological samples. This review summarizes recent progress that has been made in both nucleoside and oligonucleotide mass spectral analysis. Applicat...

متن کاملLabel-free, direct localization and relative quantitation of the RNA nucleobase methylations m6A, m5C, m3U, and m5U by top-down mass spectrometry
Nucleobase methylations are ubiquitous posttranscriptional modifications of ribonucleic acids (RNA) that can substantially increase the structural diversity of RNA in a highly dynamic fashion with implications for gene expression and human disease. However, high throughput, deep sequencing does not generally provide information on posttranscriptional modifications (PTMs). A promising alternativ...
متن کاملNative Top‐Down Mass Spectrometry of TAR RNA in Complexes with a Wild‐Type tat Peptide for Binding Site Mapping
Ribonucleic acids (RNA) frequently associate with proteins in many biological processes to form more or less stable complex structures. The characterization of RNA-protein complex structures and binding interfaces by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, or strategies based on chemical crosslinking, however, can be quite challenging. Herein, we have explored the ...
