Résumé

For structural, biochemical, or pharmacological studies, it is required to have pure RNA in large quantities. We previously devised a generic approach that allows for efficient in vivo expression of recombinant RNA in Escherichia coli. We have extended the "tRNA scaffold" method to RNA-protein coexpression in order to express and purify RNA by affinity in native condition. As a proof of concept, we present the expression and the purification of the AtRNA-mala in complex with the MS2 coat protein.
