5-Vinyl-uridine (VU) is a uridine derivative with a terminal alkene group that can be used for monitoring and investigating RNA transcription in cells instead of 5-ethynyl-uridine (EU).
VU is readily taken up by living cells and incorporated by RNA polymerases into de novo RNA instead of endogenous uridine, but not into DNA [1]. VU-labeled nascent cellular RNA can be detected quickly and with high sensitivity via inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction (IEDDA) between the vinyl group and fluorescently or biotin-labeled tetrazines.
Labeled RNA can be detected with different cell transcriptional levels estimation methods, e.g., fluorescent microscopy or flow cytometry.
