RNA SHAPE chemistry yields quantitative, single nucleotide resolution structural information based on the reaction of the 2′-hydroxyl group of conformationally flexible nucleotides with electrophilic SHAPE reagents. However, SHAPE technology has been limited by the requirement that sites of RNA modification be detected by primer extension. Primer extension results in loss of information at both the 5′ and 3′ ends of an RNA and requires multiple experimental steps. Here we describe RNase-detected SHAPE (Selective 2′-Hydroxyl Acylation analyzed by Protection from Exoribonuclease) that uses a processive, 3′→5′ exoribonuclease, RNase R, to detect covalent adducts in 5′-end labeled RNA in a one-tube experiment. RNase R degrades RNA but stops quantitatively three and four nucleotides 3′ of a nucleotide containing a covalent adduct at the ribose 2′-hydroxyl or the pairing face of a nucleobase, respectively. We illustrate this technology by characterizing ligand-induced folding for the E. coli thiamine pyrophosphate riboswitch RNA. RNase-detected SHAPE is a facile, two-day approach that can be used to analyze diverse covalent adducts in any RNA molecule, including short RNAs not amenable to analysis by primer extension and RNAs with functionally important structures at their 5′ or 3′ ends.
