PMID- 37753471 OWN - NLM STAT- Publisher LR - 20230928 IS - 2331-8325 (Electronic) IS - 2331-8325 (Linking) VI - 13 IP - 18 DP - 2023 Sep 20 TI - Fluorescence in situ Localization of Pri-miRNAs in Isolated Arabidopsis thaliana Nuclei. PG - e4824 LID - 10.21769/BioProtoc.4824 [doi] LID - e4824 AB - Here, we present an approach combining fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunolabeling for localization of pri-miRNAs in isolated nuclei of A. thaliana. The presented method utilizes specific DNA oligonucleotide probes, modified by addition of digoxigenin-labeled deoxynucleotides to its 3' hydroxyl terminus by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT). The probes are then detected by immunolabeling of digoxigenin (DIG) using specific fluorescent-labeled antibodies to visualize hybridized probes. Recently, we have applied this method to localize pri-miRNA156a, pri-miRNA163, pri-miRNA393a, and pri-miRNA414 in the nuclei isolated from leaves of 4-week-old A. thaliana. The present approach can be easily implemented to analyze nuclear distribution of diverse RNA classes, including mRNAs and pri-miRNAs in isolated fixed cells or nuclei from plant.
