Abstract
We have adapted the methodology of CLIP-seq (Crosslinking-Immunoprecipitation and DNA Sequencing) to map the segments of encapsidated RNAs that contact the protein shells of virions. Results from the protocol report on the RNA sequences that contact the viral capsid.

Background
Positive-sense RNA viruses include pathogens of all life forms. Viruses with icosahedral shapes have the viral coat proteins form a protective shell around the RNA genome (Stockley et al., 2013). In the phage MS2 and the plant-infecting Brome mosaic virus (BMV), the coat protein preferentially contacts specific RNA sequences (Ni et al., 2013; Hoover et al., 2016; Rolfsson et al., 2016). These contacts could regulate the timing of RNA release during infection, viral gene expression, and viral RNA replication (Hoover et al., 2016). Identification of the capsid-RNA interactions could thus provide insights into the regulations of viral infection and provide means to inhibit viral infection. With this in mind, we have developed a method to identify the capsid-RNA contacts in purified virions using a combination of UV crosslinking, RNA fragmentation, selective precipitation of the coat protein, and next-generation sequencing of the cDNAs made from RNA fragments. The protocol below was developed for BMV virions.
Materials and Reagents
Note: All solutions should be made using sterile water with resistivity of better than 18.3 MΩ and analytical grade reagents.
- Pipette tips (Corning, catalog number: 4154 )
- 6-well clear polystyrene flat-bottomed tissue culture plate (Corning, Falcon®, catalog number: 351146 )

- BMV virions purified using cesium chloride density gradients and suspended in SAMA buffer
Note: High purity BMV virions can be obtained as described in Vaughan et al. (2014). The virions are kept in an acidic buffer because pH affects the swelling of the BMV virions and can change the CP-RNA interaction. - 10x Fragmentation Reagent and Stop Solution: 200 mM EDTA (pH 8.0) (Thermo Fisher Scientific, InvitrogenTM, catalog number: AM8740 )
