The new LM-PCR/shifter method for the genotyping of microorganisms based on the use of a class IIS restriction enzyme and ligation mediated PCR

This study details and examines a novel ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction (LM-PCR) method. Named the LM-PCR/Shifter, it relies on the use of a Class IIS restriction enzyme giving restriction fragments with different 4-base, 5' overhangs, this being the Shifter, and the ligation of appropriate oligonucleotide adapters. A sequence of 4-base, 5' overhangs of the adapter and a 4- base sequence of the 3' end of the primer(s) determine a subset of the genomic restriction fragments, which are amplified by PCR. The method permits the differentiation of bacterial species strains on the basis of the different DNA band patterns obtained after electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels stained with ethidium bromide and visualized in UV light. The usefulness of the LM-PCR/ Shifter method for genotyping is analyzed by a comparison with the restriction endonuclease analysis of chromosomal DNA by the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (REA-PFGE) and PCR melting profile (PCR MP) methods for isolates of clinical origin. The clustering of the LM-PCR/Shifter fingerprinting data matched those of the REA-PFGE and PCR MP methods. We found that the LM-PCR/Shifter is rapid, and offers good discriminatory power and excellent reproducibility, making it a method that may be effectively applied in epidemiological studies.     

MSRE-PCR for analysis of gene-specific DNA methylation

Abnormal DNA methylation is observed in certain promoters of neoplastic cells, although the likelihood of methylation for each individual promoter varies. Simultaneous analysis of many promoters in the same sample can allow use of statistical methods for identification of neoplasia. Here we describe an assay for such analysis, based on digestion of genomic DNA with methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme and multiplexed PCR with gene-specific primers (MSRE-PCR). MSRE-PCR includes extensive digestion of genomic DNA (uncut fragments cannot be identified by PCR), can be applied to dilute samples (<1 pg/μl), requires limited amount of starting material (42 pg or genomic equivalent of seven cells) and can identify methylation in a heterogeneous mix containing <2% of cells with methylated fragments. When applied to 53 promoters of breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and T47D, MSRE-PCR correctly identified the methylation status of genes analyzed by other techniques. For selected genes results of MSRE-PCR were confirmed by methylation-specific PCR and bisulfite sequencing. The assay can be configured for any number of desired targets in any user-defined set of genes.     

Rapid identification of DNA fragments containing promoters for RNA polymerase II

We describe a direct procedure for screening genomic recombinant DNA libraries or restriction fragments of cloned DNA regions for RNA polymerase II promoters. Cellular polyadenylated mRNA is chemically de-capped by beta-elimination reaction and enzymatically re-capped with [alpha-32P]GTP by vaccinia guanylyl transferase. Since this enzyme only accepts di- or triphosphorylated 5' termini as a substrate, the mRNAs are labeled exclusively at the first nucleotide, irrespective of whether the mRNA was intact or fragmented before in vitro capping. By using in vitro-capped mRNA as a hybridization probe, recombinant DNA molecules or restriction fragments that carry a cap site (and thus likely an RNA polymerase II promoter) can directly be identified. Here, we demonstrate the applicability of this procedure by the isolation and characterization of several genomic DNA clones containing RNA polymerase II promoter sequences, that are highly active in liver.

Wide distribution of short interspersed elements among eukaryotic genomes.

Most short interspersed elements (SINEs) in eukaryotic genomes originate from tRNA and have internal promoters for RNA polymerase III. The promoter contains two boxes (A and B) spaced by approximately 33 bp. We used oligonucleotide primers specific to these boxes to detect SINEs in the genomic DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Appropriate DNA fragments were revealed by PCR in 30 out of 35 eukaryotic species suggesting the wide distribution of SINEs. The PCR products were used for hybridization screening of genomic libraries which resulted in identification of four novel SINE families. The application of this approach is illustrated by discovery of a SINE family in the genome of the bat Myotis daubentoni. Members of this SINE family termed VES have an additional B-like box, a putative polyadenylation signal and RNA polymerase III terminator.     

Breaksite batch mapping, a rapid method for assay and identification of DNA breaksites in mammalian cells

DNA breaks occur during many processes in mammalian cells, including recombination, repair, mutagenesis and apoptosis. Here we report a simple and rapid method for assaying DNA breaks and identifying DNA breaksites. Breaksites are first tagged and amplified by ligation-mediated PCR (LM-PCR), using nested PCR primers to increase the specificity and sensitivity of amplification. Breaksites are then mapped by batch sequencing LM-PCR products. This allows easy identification of multiple breaksites per reaction without tedious fractionation of PCR products by gel electrophoresis or cloning. Breaksite batch mapping requires little starting material and can be used to identify either single- or double-strand breaks.     

A high-throughput genome-walking method and its use for cloning unknown flanking sequences

We developed a PCR-based high-throughput genome-walking protocol. The novelty of this protocol is in the random introduction of unique walker primer binding sites into different regions of the genome efficiently by taking advantage of the rolling circle mode of DNA synthesis by Phi29 DNA polymerase after annealing the partially degenerate primers to the denatured genomic DNA. The inherent strand-displacement activity of the Phi29 DNA polymerase displaces the 5′ ends of downstream strands and DNA synthesis continues, resulting in a large number of overlapping fragments that cover the whole genome with the unique walker adapter attached to the 5′ end of all the genomic DNA fragments. The directional genome walking can be performed using a locus-specific primer and the walker primer and Phi29 DNA polymerase-amplified genomic DNA fragments as template. The locus-specific primer will determine the position and direction of the genome walk. Two rounds of successive PCR amplifications by locus-specific and walker primers and their corresponding nested primers effectively amplify the flanking DNA fragments. The desired PCR fragment can be either cloned or sequenced directly using another nested, locus-specific primer. We successfully used this protocol to isolate and sequence 5′ flanking regions/promoters of selected plant genes.     

IRAP and REMAP for retrotransposon-based genotyping and fingerprinting

Retrotransposons can be used as markers because their integration creates new joints between genomic DNA and their conserved ends. To detect polymorphisms for retrotransposon insertion, marker systems generally rely on PCR amplification between these ends and some component of flanking genomic DNA. We have developed two methods, retrotransposon-microsatellite amplified polymorphism (REMAP) analysis and inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP) analysis, that require neither restriction enzyme digestion nor ligation to generate the marker bands. The IRAP products are generated from two nearby retrotransposons using outward-facing primers. In REMAP, amplification between retrotransposons proximal to simple sequence repeats (microsatellites) produces the marker bands. Here, we describe protocols for the IRAP and REMAP techniques, including methods for PCR amplification with a single primer or with two primers and for agarose gel electrophoresis of the product using optimal electrophoresis buffers and conditions. This protocol can be completed in 1-2 d.
