Benefits of technology

[0006]The invention provides nucleotide analogs and methods of using them to allow sequencing-by-synthesis to occur such that, on average, a single nucleotide is incorporated into the 3′ end of a primer portion of a template / primer duplex per sequencing cycle. The invention is based, in part, on the discovery that nucleotide analogs having an attached inhibitory region with one or more charged groups provide good incorporation of a single nucleotide into the duplex without allowing a significant, or any, amount of second, third, etc. base incorporation.
[0010]In another aspect, the invention relates to a nucleotide analog that includes: a nucleoside triphosphate; an inhibitor comprising (a) one or more multiply charged groups or groups capable of becoming multiply charged, or (b) two or more (i.e., a plurality of) singly charged groups or two or more groups capable of becoming singly charged; a detectable label; and a linker connecting the inhibitor and the label to the nucleoside triphosphate. It should be noted that in some embodiments, one or a single charged group may be sufficient to provide the desired inhibitory effect.
[0012]In another aspect, the invention relates to nucleotide analogs of Formula II:NTP is a nucleoside or nucleotide triphosphate or an analog of either capable of template-dependent incorporation into the 3′ end of a polynucleotide strand hybridized to a template presenting the complement of the NTP. L is a detectable label that facilitates the identification of the nucleotide analog. Inhibitor comprises (a) one or more multiply charged groups or groups capable of becoming multiply charged, or (b) two or more singly charged groups or two or more groups capable of becoming singly charged. R1 and R2 are independently a bond or a group, wherein at least one of R1 and R2 comprises a cleavable bond, which upon cleavage results in de-association of NTP from both Label and Inhibitor. R3 is a bond or group linking R2 to the Inhibitor. R4 is a bond or group linking R2 to a Label.

Problems solved by technology

A challenge that has arisen in single molecule sequencing involves the ability to sequence through homopolymer regions (i.e., portions of the template that contain consecutive identical nucleotides).
It is often difficult to resolve the number of nucleotides in a homopolymer due to the difficulty in distinguishing between the incorporation of one or two labeled nucleotides and the incorporation of a greater number of nucleotides.

3-tert-Butyldisulfanyl-2-(9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxycarbonylamino)-propionic acid 2,5-dioxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl ester (2)

[0086]

[0087]To a solution of Fmoc-Cys(SStBu)-OH (1, 2.15 g, 5.0 mmole,) dissolved in anhydrous CH2Cl2(30 mL) was added N-Ethyl-N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDAC, 1.146 g, 6 mmole), the reaction mixture was stirred for 10 min. at room temperature (RT) and then added N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) (0.690 g, 6.0 mmole). To this reaction mixture was added catalytic amount of N,N′-dimethlyaminopyridine and stirred at RT until completion of reaction tested with TLC. The solvent was evaporated and the residue obtained was extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL×2), washed with 1M NaHCO3 (10 mL), followed by brine solution (20 mL) and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. Evaporation of the solvent afforded 2 as a white crystalline solid. Yield. 2.5 g (95%).

[0110]

C* cap-Asp-Asp:

[0111]α-N-Fmoc-S-tert-butylthio-L-cysteine (1 g, 2.32 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous acetonitrile and solution of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) (573 mg, 2.78 mmol in CH3CN) was added followed by solution of NHS (345 mg, 3.01 mmol in CH3CN). After 1 hr. dicyclohexylurea was spun down and active ester used without purification in coupling with ε-amino-hexanoic acid (304 mg, 2.32 mmol) dissolved in 50% aq. DMF. N,N′-Diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) was added to correct pH to 8.0. Upon completion reaction mixture was acidified to pH 3 and partitioned between water and dichloromethane (DCM). Organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated to give 1.33 g of crude material. Purification using flash chromatography in DCM / methanol gave 745 mg of pure material (MW=544.75).

[0112]α-N-Fmoc-S-tert-butylthio-L-cyst-caproic acid (3, 77 mg, 141 μmols, CH3CN) was converted to NHS active ester using DCC (35 mg, 169 μmols, CH3CN) and NHS (21 mg, 183 μmol...

Compound 32

[0120]Compound 31 (100 mg, 0.18 mmol) was dissolved in 0.8 ml DMF and added 0.2 mL piperidine and then kept at RT for 30 min. DMF was removed and the residue was purified with flash column using CH2Cl2: CH3OH (2:1). The purified amine (35 mg) was dissolved in 1 mL DMF and used directly for the next step without characterization. 3.5 mg of the purified amine in 0.1 mL DMF (10.8 μmol) was added 60 μL DMF and 40 μL DIPEA and then Cy5 Mono NHS Ester (6.63 μmol) in 100 μL anhydrous DMF was added into the solution. After 30 minutes, the reaction mixture was purified with HPLC (Waters Delta 600 pump and 2487 Dual λ Absorbance Detector, Phenomenex C18 preparative column, 250×21.00 mm 10 micron, gradient: 100% A for 5 min, then 1% B / min, buffer A 0.05 M TEAB, buffer B CH3CN, 10 mL / min flow). Fractions containing the desired compound 32 were pooled and quantified; (3.0 μmol, 45%, ε649=250000); ESI-MS (negative ion mode): m / z=959.20 (M-H).
