Abstract:
The nucleocapsid protein (N) in Rift Valley fever virus is an RNA-binding protein that functions in viral transcription, replication, and packaging. In this chapter, the method for studying protein-RNA interactions in context of viral infection using individual nucleotide resolution, cross-linking, immunoprecipitation, and sequencing (iCLIP-seq) is explained. The method is useful for identifying the interactions between both host and viral RNAs with N and can identify RNA motifs that interact with the protein of interest.
