Conclusions • 2 step purification procedure for the isolation of crosslinked peptide-RNA oligonucleotides from reconstituted and native UV-irradiated RNP particles • Highly accurate MALDI-ToF analysis using DHB and THAP allowed for the identification of both the crosslinked peptide and the RNA moiety • PSD analysis of the crosslinked peptide-RNA oligonucleotide using THAP revealed sequence information of the crosslinked components • MALDI-ToF analysis circumvents the need for N-terminal peptide and RNA sequencing to identify the actual crosslinking sites • MALDI-ToF analysis of crosslinked complexes identifies hitherto unknown protein-RNA binding regions • Determination of the precise crosslinking sites adds valuable information about the orientation of proteins within RNP complexes
