Robust methods are critical for testing the in vivo regulatory mechanism of RNA binding proteins. Here we report improvement of a protein-mRNA tethering assay to probe the function of an RNA binding protein in its natural context within the adult germline. The assay relies on a dual reporter expressing two mRNAs from a single promoter and resolved by trans-splicing. The reporter 3'UTR harbors functional binding elements for λN22 peptide, while the reporter 3'UTR carries mutated nonfunctional elements. This strategy enables internally controlled quantitation of reporter protein by immunofluorescence and mRNA by smFISH. To test the new system, we analyzed a Nanos protein, NOS-3, which serves as a post-transcriptional regulator of germ cell fate. Unexpectedly, tethered NOS-3 enhanced reporter expression. We confirmed this enhancement activity with a second reporter engineered at an endogenous germline gene. NOS-3 enhancement of reporter expression was associated with its amino-terminal intrinsically disordered region, not its carboxy-terminal zinc fingers. RNA quantitation revealed that tethered NOS-3 enhances stability of the reporter mRNA. We suggest that this direct NOS-3 enhancement activity may explain a paradox: Classically Nanos proteins are expected to repress RNA, but had been found to promote expression, an effect that could be direct. Regardless, the new dual reporter dramatically improves in situ quantitation of reporter expression after RNA binding protein tethering to determine its molecular mechanism in a multicellular tissue.
