AbstractRNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulate diverse cellular processes by dynamically interacting with RNA targets. However, effective methods to capture both stable and transient interactions between RBPs and their RNA targets are still lacking, especially when the interaction is dynamic or samples are limited. Here we present an assay of reverse transcription-based RBP binding site sequencing (ARTR-seq), which relies on in situ reverse transcription of RBP-bound RNAs guided by antibodies to identify RBP binding sites. ARTR-seq avoids ultraviolet crosslinking and immunoprecipitation, allowing for efficient and specific identification of RBP binding sites from as few as 20 cells or a tissue section. Taking advantage of rapid formaldehyde fixation, ARTR-seq enables capturing the dynamic RNA binding by RBPs over a short period of time, as demonstrated by the profiling of dynamic RNA binding of G3BP1 during stress granule assembly on a timescale as short as 10 minutes.
