Problems solved by technology

4sU can be labeled with a biotin-pyridine (HPDP-biotin) linked by a disulfide bond. After enrichment, DTT breaks the disulfide bond to release the enriched 4sU RNA, but the reaction efficiency of this method is very low. Low
However, the processes of the above-mentioned methods are complicated, the reaction conditions are harsh, and the oxidants used will cause oxidative damage to the classical bases.

Embodiment 1

[0069] Example 1: Using the addition and elimination reaction of RNA 4sU using hydrazine hydrate according to the present invention, a structure similar to cytosine was obtained.

[0070] In vitro transcription of RNA with a 4sU site, the 4 S U-RNA was reacted with hydrazine hydrate, and the reaction conditions were: water as solvent, 10mM DTT buffer, and heating at 50°C for 1.5h. After the reaction, the RNA was recovered by alcohol precipitation. The labeled RNA was reacted with rSAP and RNAse I at 37 °C for 12 h, and the nucleic acid was degraded into nucleosides. Finally, various nucleosides in the samples were detected by LC-MS / MS.

[0071] see figure 2 , is 4 S UV absorption spectra before and after the reaction of U with hydrazine hydrate, it can be seen from this picture that hydrazine hydrate can convert 4 S U was completely reacted, and the new product cytidine analog C* was obtained.

Embodiment 2

[0074] Example 2: Single-base recognition of 4sU by the addition and elimination reaction of 4sU using hydrazine hydrate according to the present invention

[0075] The RNA with 4sU site was transcribed in vitro, and the 4Su-RNA was reacted with hydrazine hydrate. The reaction conditions were water as solvent, 10mM DTTbuffer, and heating at 50°C for 1.5h. After the reaction, the RNA was recovered by alcohol precipitation. The labeled RNA was reverse transcribed and PCR was performed. PCR products were characterized by 15% PAGE and sequencing. A mutation from T to C occurred at the position of the original 4sU. Therefore, this method realizes single-base recognition of 4sU.

Embodiment 3

[0076] Example 3: Identification of modification positions of naturally occurring 4-mercaptouracil

[0077] Total RNA was extracted from Escherichia coli, and total RNA was reacted with hydrazine hydrate. The reaction conditions were water as solvent, 10 mM DTT buffer was added, and the reaction was carried out at 50 °C for 1.5 h. Use specific primers of known sequence to tRNA val Reverse transcription, PCR, and next-generation sequencing were performed to identify and confirm the location of the naturally occurring modified 4-mercaptouridine.

[0078] For the process of subcloning in this example, see Figure 10 , for next-generation sequencing results of subcloned plaques, see Figure 11 , which shows the naturally occurring 4 S The U site changed from the original A:T pairing to the C:T pairing, indicating that the method of the present invention can recognize the naturally occurring 4 S U site.

Abstract

The invention discloses a specific labeling method for RNA 4-mercaptouracil and an application thereof, belonging to the technical field of nucleic acid chemistry. A structure similar to cytosine (C) is generated in the RNA reverse transcription process, and the A:T pairing that occurs at the original 4sU position becomes a C:G pairing during the reverse transcription process, so that the single base recognition of the 4sU position is performed. This method combined with sequencing technology can be used to detect the location of naturally occurring 4sU and study the dynamics of the transcriptome.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nucleic acid chemistry, and in particular relates to a specific labeling method for RNA 4-mercaptouracil and its application. Background technique [0002] RNA is an important biological macromolecule in living organisms. In cells, RNA is in a dynamic system that is constantly transcribed, processed, and degraded. To understand the function of RNA, it is necessary to study the dynamics of its transcriptome. Sequencing technology can capture the transient information of RNA but cannot directly transmit the dynamic information of the transcriptome. Based on this, more and more labeling reagents, such as EU, BrU, 4sU and other nucleosides that are easy to be chemically modified, are transcribed into newly generated RNA through metabolism, and combined with sequencing technology, they can be used to study the dynamics of the transcriptome. Among these metabolic labeling methods, 4sU metabolic labeling is a...
