Paper
Correlated protein-RNA associations and a requirement for HNRNPU in the long-range recruitment of Polycomb Repressive Complexes by the lncRNAs Airn and Kcnq1ot1PLoS genetics · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
The lncRNAs Airn and Kcnq1ot1 recruit Polycomb Repressive Complexes (PRCs) and repress genes over multi-megabase genomic intervals, but how they interact with proteins to direct repression remains poorly understood. We conducted formaldehyde-linked RNA-immunoprecipitations (RIPs) of 27 proteins from mouse trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), using a protocol exhibiting similar signal-to-non-specific signal and post-lysis reassociation ratios as crosslinking immunoprecipitation (CLIP) and crosslinking affinity purification (CLAP).

Patterns of protein associations across Airn and Kcnq1ot1 were more similar to each other than to nearly all other transcripts and partitioned to extents that mirrored the degree of repression each lncRNA induced, implying connections to mechanism. Indeed, HNRNPU, a factor essential for Xist's localization to chromatin, was enriched over Airn and Kcnq1ot1 and required to maintain normal levels of PRC1- and PRC2-directed chromatin modifications across the Airn and Kcnq1ot1 target domains, yet was dispensable for both lncRNAs’ localization to chromatin and for their association with PRC1. HNRNPU depletion caused a greater reduction in PRC-directed chromatin modifications and gene repression across the inactive X chromosome and the ~15 Mb Airn target domain than across the ~3 Mb Kcnq1ot1 domain. Perhaps relatedly, HNRNPU depletion significantly reduced overall levels of the Xist and Airn but not the Kcnq1ot1 lncRNAs. Our study reports architectures of protein association along Airn and Kcnq1ot1 compared to the transcriptome at large, highlights shared and distinct features between the two lncRNAs, and provides new perspective on the role of HNRNPU in long-range chromatin regulation by lncRNAs.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE299587_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

Raw reads on ENA ↗

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1275020 and SRA study SRP591412. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
40 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groups

Any grouping that defines a comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Read from 40 sample titles: 40 distinct titles with little repetition. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
