“…Since this technique specifically detects proteins bound to eukaryotic messenger RNAs, it is unsuitable to examine RBPs recognising transcripts lacking (long) poly‐A tails (e.g., eukaryotic ribosomal, transfer and small nucleolar RNAs as well as prokaryotic transcripts in general). However, this issue can be overcome by transiently overexpressing a poly‐A polymerase (Stenum et al, 2023). Click chemistry‐based methods (click chemistry‐assisted RNA‐interactome capture, CARIC; RNA interactome using click chemistry, RICK) have sought to circumvent this drawback by treating cells with synthetic uridine analogues (Bao et al, 2018; Huang et al, 2018).…”
