Abstract

ABSTRACTChemical probing experiments have transformed RNA structure analysis, enabling high-throughput measurement of base-pairing in living cells. Dimethyl sulfate (DMS) is one of the most widely used structure probing reagents and has played a prominent role in enabling next-generation single-molecule probing analyses. However, DMS has traditionally only been able to probe adenine and cytosine nucleobases. We previously showed that, using appropriate conditions, DMS can also be used to interrogate base-pairing of uracil and guaninesin vitroat reduced accuracy. However, DMS remained unable to informatively probe guanines in cells. Here, we develop an improved DMS mutational profiling (MaP) strategy that leverages the unique mutational signature of N1-methylguanine DMS modifications to enable robust, high-fidelity structure probing at all four nucleotides, including in cells. Using information theory, we show that four-base DMS reactivities convey greater structural information than comparable two-base DMS and SHAPE probing strategies. Four-base DMS experiments further enable improved direct base-pair detection by single-molecule PAIR analysis, and ultimately support RNA structure modeling at superior accuracy. Four-base DMS probing experiments are easily performed and will broadly facilitate improved RNA structural analysis in living cells.
