Evidence is building that RNA-directed processes play a critical role in orchestrating chromatin architecture and epigenetic memory. Nucleic acids purified from chromatin are 2-5% RNA; these RNAs are non-coding sequences that play important roles in chromatin structure and transcriptional silencing. But, characterizing these RNAs by ChIP techniques is complicated by the complexity of chromatin structure, the difficulty of working with RNA, and the high amounts of DNA in chromatin. RNA ChIP-IT uses a modified ChIP protocol that has been optimized for RNA preservation and recovery. RNA-protein interactions are fixed with formaldehyde, and chromatin shearing is combined with DNase treatment to yield RNA/protein complexes that can be immunoprecipitated with antibodies to specific proteins. Cross-links are subsequently reversed; RNA is recovered and again treated with DNase to ensure the absence of DNA. The optimized method is quick and has been successfully used to study several non-coding RNAs in the chromatin context.

The RNA ChIP-IT Kit was used on 10 µg samples of DNase I-treated HeLa chromatin with 10 µl of Suz12 antibody (Cat. No. 39357) and 2 µg of Normal rabbit IgG. The RNA-IP was performed overnight at 4°C. Real-time RT-PCR was performed using primers for the lincRNA SFPQ locus. The amplification plot is shown.

The RNA-ChIP technique is distinct from RNA Immunoprecipitation, or RIP, which is sometimes used to study RNA-protein interactions outside of the context of chromatin. Chromatin-associated RNAs must be separated from formaldehyde-fixed chromatin before immunoprecipitation. The Active Motif RNA ChIP-IT kit has optimized all the procedures required, so you can proceed with your experiments.

RNA ChIP-IT is a comprehensive kit for performing RNA-ChIP

RNA ChIP-IT Kits provide sufficient components to perform 25 ChIP reactions. Sufficient shearing components are included to optimize shearing conditions and then make 5 preparations of RNA-bearing sheared chromatin from three 15 cm plates (4.5 x 107cells); each of these chromatin preparations yield enough material to perform approximately 16 RNA ChIP assays. We recommend that you also purchase an RNA ChIP-IT Control Kit – Human, as the use of validated controls helps in troubleshooting, interpreting your results and validating antibodies for use in ChIP.
