    RNA binding proteins (RBP) and small RNAs regulate the editing, localization, stabilization, translation, and degradation of ribonucleic acids (RNAs) through their interactions with specific cis-acting elements within target RNAs. Here, we describe a novel method to detect protein-mRNA interactions, which combines FLAG-peptide modified, multiply-labeled tetravalent RNA imaging probes (FMTRIPs) with proximity ligation (PLA), and rolling circle amplification (RCA). This assay detects native RNA in a sequence specific and single RNA sensitive manner, and PLA allows for the quantification and localization of protein-mRNA interactions with single-interaction sensitivity.
