Chapter 5 Exploring Genes and Genomes Basic Essential Tools for Gene Exploration 1. Restriction Enzymes : Precise Sequence-Specific Cleavage of DNA 2. Blotting Techniques : Southern and Northern Blotting 3. DNA Sequencing : Determination Precise Nucleotide Sequence of DNA (human 3 billiion base-pairs) 4. Solid-Phase Synthesis of Nucleic Acids : Oligo(deoxy)nucleotide 5. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) : Amplification of a segment of DNA (Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1993 Dr Kary B. Mullis, U.S.A., for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method) 6. Computerized Analysis : Bioinformatics Restriction Endonuclease (Restriction Enzyme) • Found in a variety of prokaryotes. • Foreign DNA cleavage. • Self DNA protection by methylation Palindromic Inverted repeat, Usually 4-8 base pairs • Sequence-specific cleavage • Hydrolysis of a phosphodiester bond • Palindromic sequence recognition • Staggered or even cutting • 1978 Hamilton Smith, Daniel Nathans Recognition Site for Sac I (Streptomyces achromogenes) Rule of Naming Restriction Enzymes • First three letters for the host organism (e.g. Hin for Haemophilus influenza) • Next one letter for strain designation, if necessary (e.g. HinD for Haemophilus influenza D) • Last one letter for a number, if more than one restriction enzyme have been identified from the same species. (e.g. HinD III for the third RE found in Haemophilus influenza D) Visualization of DNA Fragments by Gel Electrophoresis Non-Denaturing Gel Electrophoresis Systems For < 1 k bps : Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis For < 20 k bps : Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFEG) can separate DNA molecules in the range of million base pairs. Denaturing Gel Electrophoresis Systems Urea Polyacrylamide Gel can distinguish DNA fragments differing in length just by one nucleotide out of several hundred base pairs EtBr (ethidium bromide) Staining of Nucleic Acids; intercalation into base stacks; fluorescence upon UV light; 50 ng of DNA is detection limit Ethidium bromide intercalating agent commonly used for nucleic acid staining may be a mutagen, carcinogen Southern Blotting for DNA & Northern Blotting for RNA Denaturation By formaldehyde Hybridization Probes Hybridization b-rays from radioisotope for Southern Blots : single-stranded DNA for Northern Blots : single-stranded mRNA Sanger Di-Deoxy Method for DNA Sequencing • Partial termination of DNA polymerase reaction by including dideoxy nucleotides • Urea Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis • Visualized by autoradiography or fluorescence Automated Solid-Phase DNA Synthesis Deoxyribonucleoside 3’-phosphoramidite : Incoming Nucleotide DMT : Dimethoxytrityl Group ; Protect 5’ hydroxyl group of incoming nucleotide bCE : b-Cyanoethyl Group ; Protect 3’ phosphoryl oxygen All bases are protected during synthesis. Phosphotriester is oxidized by iodide to make phosphodiester. Dichloroacetic acid removes DMT to generate a free 5’ hydroxyl group. Each cycle can be completed within 10 min and the efficiency is better than 98%. At the end of the synthesis, NH3 is added to remove all the protecting groups. By HPLC, choose longest one. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) : Amplification of Specific DNA Sequences Required Components • Pair of primers that hybridize the target • All four deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs) • A heat stable DNA polymerase • Target sequence (template) Cycling Reactions • Strand Separation (Denaturation): 95 • Hybridization of Primers (Annealing): 54 • DNA Synthesis (Extension): 72 • Repeats the above three steps Parent DNA annealing? Theoretical PCR Amplification Fold = 2n (n : cycle number) Thus, Million Fold Amplification after 20 Cycles, and Billion Fold Amplification after 30 Cycles PCR machine PCR Application 1.
