Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biotechnology, and relates to a method for identifying a glycosyltransferase or glycosidase specific enzyme involved in DNA / RNA glycosylation. BACKGROUND
[0002] Glycosylation is a key modification method for regulating the function of biomolecules, and its abnormal expression is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases. It is not only an important way for the function regulation of biological macromolecules, but also provides potential targets for disease diagnosis and treatment. At present, the research in this field mainly focuses on the field of protein glycosylation. The mechanism and regulation network of functional enzymes such as glycosyltransferases have been systematically analyzed, and the molecular correlation between them and major diseases such as tumors and neurodegenerative diseases has been established. With the advancement of technology, the scope of glycosylation research has gradually expanded to the level of RNA and DNA. In 2021, international research first confirmed the existence of RNA glycosylation modification, and revealed its function in important biological processes such as gene expression regulation. However, there are still significant technical bottlenecks in the research of DNA / RNA glycosylation functional enzymes. First, known glycosyltransferases or glycosidases all have protein as the action substrate, and there is a lack of specific catalytic enzyme system for DNA / RNA and other nucleic acid molecules. Second, the substrate recognition mechanism, catalytic activity and biological function of key glycosylases (such as glycosyltransferases and glycoside hydrolases) in the process of nucleic acid glycosylation have not been elucidated, making it difficult to establish the molecular correlation between them and the disease process. In addition, there is still a lack of identification technology for DNA / RNA specific glycosylation enzymes. These serious lags in enzymatic research have restricted the application of nucleic acid glycosylation related disease markers and targeted intervention strategies in the development, and have become a key obstacle to breakthroughs in this field.
[0003] Therefore, it is of great scientific value and application prospect to develop a method for accurately identifying a glycosyltransferase or glycosidase specific enzyme involved in DNA / RNA glycosylation. SUMMARY

[0038] Example 1
[0039] The following example demonstrates a method for identifying a glycosyltransferase or glycosidase specific enzyme involved in DNA / RNA glycosylation, the specific steps are as follows:
[0040] Step one: using oxidase or oxidant to selectively oxidize the C6 hydroxyl group or cis diol of the sugar residue in the glycosylated DNA / RNA fragment to generate an active aldehyde group, and covalently condensing the active aldehyde group with super-hyperlinked hydrazine magnetic beads to achieve efficient capture of the oxidized glycosylated DNA / RNA.
[0041] 1. Sample preparation:
[0042] (1) For extracting DNA / RNA from biological samples, when the sample source is paraffin-embedded tissue sections, select three tumor sections with a thickness of about 4 microns and an area of about 2 square centimeters, use a sterile blade to scrape the tumor area tissue, and transfer it to a 1.5 milliliter centrifuge tube. Ensure that the total section thickness is controlled below 100 microns to improve the DNA / RNA extraction effect. According to the thickness of the tissue, add an appropriate amount of mineral oil (add 300 microliters when less than or equal to 50 microns, and add 500 microliters when greater than 50 microns), incubate at 80°C for 1 minute, and mix well. Then add 200 microliters of lysis buffer, centrifuge at 10,000 x g for 15 seconds to separate, add 20 microliters of proteinase K from the lower aqueous phase, incubate at 56°C for 1 hour, then warm up to 80°C for 2 hours for complete lysis. After the sample cools to room temperature, add 10 microliters of RNase A and incubate for 5 minutes, then add 220 microliters of BL buffer and 240 microliters of ethanol in sequence to allow the nucleic acid to bind.
[0043] (2) For nucleic acid extraction from blood and cell samples, the following operation scheme is recommended: accurately measure 200 microliters of the sample to be tested (if the sample volume is insufficient, supplement with ddH2O) and place it in a 1.5 milliliter centrifuge tube. Add 20 microliters of proteinase K, 4 microliters of RNase A, and 200 microliters of Buffer AL solution in sequence. Mix the system by vortexing for 15 seconds, then transfer it to a 56°C constant temperature environment for incubation for 10 minutes. After the reaction system cools naturally, add 200 microliters of absolute ethanol and mix thoroughly. All types of samples after lysis treatment need to be purified by adsorption column, using specific formula washing buffer for multiple washing, and finally using 50 microliters of DEPC water for efficient DNA / RNA elution.
[0044] The purified DNA / RNA above needs to be treated with non-contact ultrasonic treatment: accurately take 2000 ng of DNA / RNA sample, adjust the total volume to 40 microliters with 1 x TE buffer, and transfer to a low-adsorption 0.2 milliliter special breaking tube. The ultrasonic parameters are set to 30 seconds of work / intermittent time alternation cycle. After completing 5-10 cycles, the sample is taken out for vortex mixing and transient centrifugation. A total of 13 cycles are performed to achieve a genomic fragmentation target of 100-300 bp. Subsequently, magnetic bead purification method is used: add 1.8 times the volume of DNA / RNA Clean Beads, stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, then place on a magnetic stand to separate. After removing the supernatant, wash twice with 80% (v / v) ethanol, dry, and resuspend in 45 microliters of DEPC water to obtain 40 microliters of high-purity DNA / RNA fragments.
[0045] 2. Coupling: 2 micrograms of lyophilized DNA / RNA fragment sample was dissolved in 200 microliters of 100 millimolar sodium acetate buffer, and 20 millimolar sodium periodate was added at a final concentration (1 / 10 volume of 200 millimolar stock solution was added), and the reaction was shaken at room temperature for 2 hours in the dark. After the reaction was terminated, the system was diluted to 600 microliters using 1x PBS buffer. Then solid-phase coupling was performed: 100 microliters of 50% (w / v) hydrazide magnetic bead suspension was injected into a 1.5 milliliter spin column, which was washed with DEPC water and centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 5 minutes. The oxidized DNA / RNA sample and 60 microliters of 100 millimolar aniline solution were sequentially added to the pretreated magnetic beads, and the coupling was shaken at room temperature for 3 hours.
[0046] Step two: N-glycosylated DNA / RNA was released by glycosidase enzyme digestion, and its sequence characteristics were identified by NGS sequencing to obtain DNA / RNA fragments with glycosylation.
[0047] After centrifugation to remove unbound components, 1.5 millimolar NaCl solution (shaken vigorously for three times), DEPC water (three times), and freshly prepared 25 millimolar NH4HCO3 buffer (three times) were sequentially used for deep purification. Finally, the magnetic beads were resuspended in 200 microliters of ammonium bicarbonate buffer, and 1-2 microliters of PNGase F enzyme solution was added (vortexing was prohibited), and the glycosylated DNA / RNA was released by gentle shaking at 37°C overnight.
[0048] After collecting the N-glycosylated glycoDNA / RNA in the centrifugal supernatant, it was eluted three times with DEPC water containing 10-30% (v / v) acetonitrile (100 microliters each time), and about 400 microliters of sample solution was obtained by combining. After vacuum centrifugal concentration and drying, the DNA / RNA sequencing was performed by resuspending in an appropriate amount of DEPC water, and the DNA / RNA sequencing results were obtained.
[0049] Step three: biotin-DNA / RNA was used to synthesize glycosylated DNA / RNA fragments with biotin labeling.
[0050] After DNA / RNA sequencing was completed, specific DNA / RNA fragments with biotin were synthesized according to the sequencing results.
[0051] DNA / RNA fragments to subsequently capture the glycosyl recognition enzymes or other sugar binding proteins that bind to them via streptavidin magnetic beads. The synthetic DNA / RNA single-stranded complementary fragments were annealed to form double-stranded with biotin labeling by mixing equal volume and molarity of the DNA / RNA single-stranded solutions at a concentration of 100 μmol / L in an Eppendorf tube, incubating the Eppendorf tube at 95 °C for 5 min, and then slowly cooling to room temperature to complete the annealing reaction. The final DNA / RNA double-stranded with biotin labeling was obtained. Next, the biotinylated DNA / RNA double-stranded was combined with streptavidin magnetic beads (Dynabeads M-280 Streptavidin). Fifty microliters of magnetic beads were taken and washed three times with 1 x PBS (containing 0.1% (v / v) Tween-20) using a magnetic stand to separate and discard the supernatant each time. The washed magnetic beads were resuspended in 100 microliters of 1 x PBS, and biotinylated DNA / RNA (final concentration of about 50 nM) was added. The mixture was incubated at room temperature for 30 min with gentle rotation to ensure sufficient binding. After the binding was completed, the magnetic beads were separated using a magnetic stand, and the supernatant was discarded. The magnetic beads were washed three times with 1 x PBS (containing 0.1% (v / v) Tween-20) to remove non-specifically bound molecules.
[0052] Step four: Simulate natural interaction by affinity purification method - after incubation of biotinylated fragments with cell lysate proteins, streptavidin magnetic beads were used to enrich the specifically bound glycosyl recognition enzymes or related proteins.
[0053] The treated magnetic beads were added to the cell lysate containing the target proteins, usually 500 microliters of lysate containing 1% (v / v) NP-40, 150 millimolar NaCl, 50 millimolar Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), and a protease inhibitor cocktail. The mixture was incubated at 4 °C for 2 hours with gentle rotation to promote the binding of target proteins to DNA / RNA.
[0054] Step five: The proteins bound to the magnetic beads were eluted by heating, and trypsin was added to incubate overnight at 37 °C to fully enzymatically digest the proteins into peptide segments.
[0055] After the incubation, the magnetic beads were separated using a magnetic stand and washed three times with lysis buffer to remove non-specifically bound proteins. Finally, the magnetic beads were resuspended in 50 microliters of elution buffer (containing 2% (w / v) SDS, 100 millimolar DTT) and heated at 95 °C for 5 minutes to release the bound proteins, and the supernatant was collected. Subsequently, the protein-containing supernatant was collected and 2 micrograms of trypsin was added thereto, and incubated at 37 °C overnight to ensure that the proteins were completely digested into peptide fragments.
[0056] Step six: Purification of the digested peptides using C18 solid phase extraction to remove impurities and concentrate the sample, and finally identifying the protein components through LC-MS / MS mass spectrometry.
[0057] After the enzyme digestion, the resulting peptide solution needs to be purified by C18 solid phase extraction to remove salt ions, detergents and other interfering substances, to ensure the sensitivity and accuracy of downstream mass spectrometry analysis.
[0058] Before C18 purification, first use 1 milliliter of 80% (v / v) acetonitrile (ACN) / 0.1% (v / v) trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) to condition the C18 column, activate it to enhance the subsequent binding capacity. Then, adjust the pH of the enzyme digestion product to less than 3 (usually by adding TFA to a final concentration of 1% (v / v)) to ensure that the peptides can be efficiently adsorbed on the C18 filler. Then wash the column twice with 1 milliliter of 0.1% (v / v) TFA to balance the filler, and then slowly load the sample into the C18 column. After loading the sample, use a syringe or rubber dropper to collect the first effluent and re-load it into the column to improve recovery. Then, use 1 milliliter of 0.1% (v / v) TFA to wash the column 5 times in succession to remove impurities. After washing, elute the peptides with 800 μL of 80% (v / v) ACN solution, repeat this step twice, a total of 1600 microliters of eluent is used to collect the target peptides. Finally, transfer the eluent to a new centrifuge tube, use a vacuum centrifuge (SpeedVac) to dry the sample, obtain a concentrated and pure peptide sample, ready for subsequent liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS) analysis.
[0059] Note: All solutions used in the entire analysis process need to be prepared with DEPC water. This method effectively realizes the recognition and enrichment of proteins binding to DNA / RNA glycosylation modification sites through a series of highly specific and systematic steps, including oxidative modification of DNA / RNA fragments, covalent coupling with hydrazine-based magnetic beads, release and recovery of bound proteins, and subsequent biotin labeling and streptavidin magnetic bead enrichment strategy. By combining specific enzyme digestion, C18 solid phase extraction purification and high sensitivity mass spectrometry analysis, this method can accurately capture and identify functional proteins binding to glycosylated DNA / RNA, greatly improving the resolution and depth of DNA / RNA glycosylation regulation research, and providing a powerful technical platform and theoretical support for exploring the function of DNA / RNA glycosylation in development, disease occurrence and cell fate regulation.
