Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Analysis and Characterization of Nucleic Acids and Proteins Chapter 6 Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Objectives Describe how restriction enzyme sites are mapped on DNA. Construct a restriction enzyme map of a DNA plasmid or fragment. Diagram the Southern blot procedure. Define hybridization, stringency, and melting temperature. Calculate the melting temperature of a given sequence of dsDNA. Describe comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Restriction Enzyme Mapping Clinical and forensic analyses require characterization of specific genes or genomic regions at the molecular level. Because of their sequence‐specific activity, restriction endonucleases provide a convenient tool for molecular characterization of DNA Copyright © 2012 F.A.

Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Sticky ends must match (be complementary) for optimal religation. Blunt ends can be religated with less efficiency than sticky ends. Sticky ends can be converted to blunt ends with nuclease or polymerase. Blunt ends can be converted to sticky ends by ligating to synthetic adaptors. Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Restriction Enzyme Mapping Digest DNA with a restriction enzyme. Resolve the fragments by gel electrophoresis. The number of bands indicates the number of restriction sites. The size of the bands indicates the distance between restriction sites. Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Restriction mapping of a linear DNA fragment (top green bar). The fragment is first cut with the enzyme PstI. Four fragments result, as deter‐mined by agarose gel electrophoresis, indicating that there are three PstI sites in the linear fragment. The size of the pieces indicates the distance between the restriction sites. A second cut with BamHI (bottom) yields two fragments, indicating one site. Since one BamHI fragment (E) is very small, the BamHI site must be near one end of the fragment. Cutting with both enzymes indicates that the BamHI site is in the PstI fragment A. Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Restriction Enzyme Mapping Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Under nonstandard conditions, some restriction enzymes will bind to and cut sequences other than their defined recognition sequence. This altered specificity is called star activity. The propensity for star activity varies among enzymes. Thus, the nature and degree of star activity depends on the enzyme and the reaction conditions. Reaction conditions that induce star activity include suboptimal buffer, contamination with solvents or high concentrations of glycerol, prolonged reaction time, high concentration of enzymes, and divalent cation imbalance. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). RFLPs were the basis of the first molecular‐based human identification and mapping methods. Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Hybridization Technologies Procedures performed in the clinical molecular laboratory are aimed at specific targets in genomic DNA. This requires visualization or detection of a particular gene or region of DNA in the backdrop of all other genes. There are several ways to find a target region of DNA. Hybridization Technologies Hybridization Method Southern blot Northern blot Target DNA RNA Probe Nucleic acid Nucleic acid Western blot Protein Protein Southwestern blot Protein DNA Eastern blot Protein Protein Far‐eastern blot Lipids (None) Copyright © 2012 F.A.

This will “loosen up” the larger fragments for more complete denaturation. Denaturation DNA is denatured by exposing it in the gel to the strong base sodium hydroxide (NaOH) Blotting (Transfer) 10X SSC: 1 .5 M NaCl, 0.1 5 M Na citrate Copyright © 2012 F.A.

Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Immobilization and Prehybridization After transfer, the cut, denatured DNA is avidly bound to the membrane. The DNA can be permanently immobilized to the membrane by baking in a vacuum oven (80°C, 30–60 minutes) or by uv cross‐linking, that is, covalently attaching the DNA to the nitrocellulose using UV light energy Following immobilization of the DNA, a prehybridization step is required to prevent the probe from binding to nonspecific sites on the membrane surface, which will cause high background noise. Prehybridization involves incubating the membrane in the same buffer in which the probe will subsequently be introduced or in a specially formulated prehybridization buffer. At this point, the buffer does not contain probe. Blocking agents as Denhardt solution (Ficoll, polyvinyl pyrrolidane, bovine serum albumin) and salmon sperm DNA. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, 0.01 %) may also be included, along with formamide, the latter especially for RNA probes. Copyright © 2012 F.A.

Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Southern Blot Probe: Complementary Sequences The probe must be complementary to the target region of DNA. Complementary sequences are not identical. Complementary strands are antiparallel. OP5′ ‐ GTAGCTCGCTGAT ‐ 3′OH OH3′ ‐ CATCGAGCGACTA ‐ 5′OP Copyright © 2012 F.A.

Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Stringency Stringency describes the conditions under which hybridization takes place. Formamide concentration increases stringency. Low salt increases stringency. Heat increases stringency. Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Stringency Filter with bound DNA Probe in solution Stringency too low Stringency too high Sequence-specific hybridization Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Southern Blot: Detection of Bound Probe Radioactive or chemiluminescent detection requires exposure of the blot to autoradiography film. Chromogenic detection occurs directly on the blot. In end labeling, labeled nucleotides are added to the end of the probe using terminal transferase or T4 polynucleotide kinase. In nick translation, the labeled nucleotides are incorporated into single‐stranded breaks, or nicks, that are substrates for nucleotide addition by DNA polymerase. The polymerase uses the intact complementary strand for a template and displaces the previously hybridized strand as it extends the nick. Random priming generates new single‐stranded versions of the probe with the incorporation of the labeled nucleotides. The synthesis of these new strands is primed by oligomers of random sequences that are 6 to 10 bases in length. These short sequences will, at some frequency, complement sequences in the denatured probe and prime synthesis of copies of the probe sequences with incorporated Copyright labeled nucleotides. © 2012 F.A.

Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition (up to approximately 30 µg total RNA or 0.5–3.0 g polyA RNA Gel electrophoresis of RNA must be carried out under denaturing conditions Denaturant such as formaldehyde must be removed from the gel before transfer because it inhibits binding of the RNA to nitrocellulose. This is accomplished by rinsing the gel in deionized water Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Western Blot Serum, cell lysate, or protein extract is separated on SDS‐polyacrylamide gels (SDS‐PAGE) or isoelectric focusing gels (IEF). The former resolves proteins according to molecular weight, and the latter according to charge. Samples are treated with denaturant, such as mixing 1:1 with 0.04 M Tris HCl, pH 6.8, 0.1% SDS. 1 –50 µg of protein is loaded per well 5%–20% polyacrylamide gels Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Western Blot Proteins may be renatured before blotting to optimize antibody (probe)‐epitope binding. Proteins are blotted to membranes by capillary or electrophoretic transfer. Probes are specific binding proteins, polyclonal antibodies, or monoclonal antibodies. Nitrocellulose has high affinity for proteins and is easily treated with detergent (0.1% Tween 20 in 0.05 M Tris and 0.15 M sodium chloride, pH 7.6) to prevent binding of the primary antibody probe to the membrane itself (blocking) before hybridization. Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Western Blot Signal Detection Label Primary antibody (probe) Target protein Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Secondary antibody Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition The western blot method is used to confirm enzyme‐linked immunoassay results for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus among other organisms. known HIV proteins are separated by electrophoresis and transferred and bound to a nitrocellulose membrane. The patient’s serum is overlaid on the membrane, and antibodies with specificity to HIV proteins bind to their corresponding protein antigens. Unbound patient antibodies are washed off, and binding of antibodies is detected by adding a labeled antihuman immunoglobulin antibody. If HIV antibodies are present in the patient’s serum, they can be detected with antihuman antibody probes appearing as a dark band on the blot corresponding to the specific HIV protein to which the antibody is specific. Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Polyclonal antibodies are products of a generalized response to a specific antigen, usually a peptide or protein. Polyclonal antibodies are comprised of a mixture of immunoglobulins directed at more than one epitope (molecular structure) on the antigen Monoclonal antibodies are more difficult to produce In western blot technology, polyclonal antibodies can give a more robust signal, especially if the target epitopes are partially lost during electrophoresis and transfer. Monoclonal antibodies are more specific and may give less background noise; however, if the targeted epitope is lost, these antibodies do not bind and no signal is generated. Copyright © 2012 F.A.

Arrays are applied to gene (DNA) amplification or deletion on comparative genome hybridization arrays and to gene expression (RNA or protein) analysis on expression arrays. macroarrays, microarrays, high‐density oligonucleotide arrays Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Macroarrays are reverse dot blots of up to several thousand targets on nitrocellulose membranes. Microarray ‐ Tens of thousands of targets can be screened simultaneously in a very small area by miniaturizing the deposition of droplets High‐density oligonucleotide arrays and are used for mutation analysis, single nucleotide polymorphism analysis, and sequencing. Sample preparation for array analysis requires fluorescent labeling of the test sample, as microarrays and other high‐density arrays are read by automated fluorescent detection systems. The most frequent labeling method used for RNA is synthesis of cDNA or RNA copies with incorporation of labeled nucleotides. For DNA, random priming or nick translation is used. Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Expression arrays measure transcript or protein production relative to a reference control isolated from untreated or normal specimens. Comparative genome hybridization (array CGH) is designed to test DNA. This method is used to screen the genome or specific genomic loci for deletions and amplifications. Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) Immobilized, denatured normal chromosomes Test and reference DNA are labeled by incorporation of nucleotides covalently attached to fluorescent dyes. Copyright © 2012 F.A.

(Amplification at this locus) Normal reference DNA Test sample DNA (Deletion at this locus) Differences between normal and reference will be revealed. Amplification: test color dominates. Deletion: reference color dominates. Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) Green signal (test more than reference) = amplification Red signal (reference more than test) = deletion Test:Reference 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 Amplification Deletion Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Bead Array Technology The probes may also be immobilized on beads, allowing hybridization of the targets in the bead suspension In order to distinguish specific probes carried on different beads, the beads are color‐coded with a fluorescent dye. The sample is then labeled with a different dye so that the combination of the target and bead fluorescent signals indicates the presence or absence of a specific target. This technology can be used for protein as well as nucleic acid targets. Clinical tests using Luminex systems are available for infectious diseases and tissue typing. Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Solution hybridization In solution hybridization, neither the probe nor the target is immobilized. Probes and targets bind in solution, followed by resolution of the bound products. With the increasing interest in short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs), which are conveniently analyzed by this type of hybridization analysis, solution methods may come into more frequent use. Solution hybridization has been used to measure mRNA expression, especially when there are low amounts of target RNA. One version of the method is called RNase protection, or S1 mapping, for the S1 singlestrand–specific nuclease. Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition S1 mapping In S1 mapping, the labeled probe is hybridized to the target sample in solution. After digestion of excess probe by a single‐strand–specific nuclease, the resulting labeled, double‐ stranded fragments are resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis S1 mapping is useful for determining the start point or termination point of transcripts Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Gel mobility shift assay Solution hybridization can also be applied to the analysis of protein‐protein interactions and to nucleic acid–binding proteins using a gel mobility shift assay After mixing the labeled DNA or protein with the test material, such as a cell lysate, a change in mobility, usually a shift to slower migration, indicates binding of a component in the test material to the probe protein or nucleic acid Copyright © 2012 F.A. Davis Company Molecular Diagnostics Fundamentals, Methods and Clinical Applications Second Edition Summary Restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific recognition sequences. DNA can be characterized by restriction enzyme mapping. Specific DNA regions in a complex mixture are characterized using Southern blot. Specific proteins in a complex mixture are characterized using western blot. Regions of genomic amplification or deletion are characterized using comparative genomic hybridization.
