The entire mRNA interactome capture has been established but identification of specific mRNA-binding proteins has been challenging. Here, the authors developed an in vivo RNA–protein crosslinking and RNA pulldown approach and characterized novel interactors of the C. elegans gld-1 mRNA, including DAZ-1 and miR-84.
