RT Journal Article T1 A bump-hole strategy for increased stringency of cell-specific metabolic labeling of RNA A1 Nguyen, Kim A1 Kubota, Miles A1 Del Arco, Jon A1 Feng, Chao A1 Singha, Monika A1 Beasley, Samantha A1 Sakr, Jasmine A1 Gandhi, Sunil P. A1 Blurton-Jones, Matthew A1 Fernández Lucas, Jesus A1 Spitale, Robert C. AB Profiling RNA expression in a cell-specific manner continues to be a grand challenge in biochemical research. Bioorthogonal nucleosides can be utilized to track RNA expression; however, these methods currently have limitations due to background and incorporation of analogs into undesired cells. Herein, we design and demonstrate that uracil phosphoribosyltransferase can be engineered to match 5-vinyluracil for cell-specific metabolic labeling of RNA with exceptional specificity and stringency.
