Abstract
Description
Modified dyes and applications thereof TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of nucleic acid sequencing, and in particular, the present disclosure relates to modified dyes and applications thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The CoolMPS antibody sequencing technology is a nucleic acid sequencing technology developed based on the DNBSEQ sequencing platform, which utilizes fluorescently labeled antibodies to specifically recognize four bases and the blocking group at the 3' hydroxyl end of the Cold dNTPs (referred to as Cold dNTPs) blocked by a removable group. After specific binding with the Cold dNTPs, the light signal is collected by a high-resolution imaging system, and after digital processing, the nucleic acid sequence of the sequence to be sequenced is obtained. In the preparation process of the fluorescently labeled antibody, the fluorescent group needs to be coupled with the antibody through a linker structure.
[0003] Sequencing by synthesis is the soul of second-generation sequencing. In the sequencing process, the recognition of bases comes from the recognition of modified fluorescent dyes on the bases. Based on the COOLMPS sequencing technology and principle of Huada Gene, the existing linker will cause the continuous increase of the two-chain background signal. High background signal will seriously reduce the signal-to-noise ratio and cause difficulties in accurate base recognition, thereby limiting the read length of sequencing.
[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop and screen a removable linker-modified dye suitable for nucleic acid sequencing scenarios.
[0005] SUMMARY
[0006] In order to solve the problem of the background signal, the present disclosure provides a kind of compound with novel structure or its stereoisomer or its salt, which is based on disulfide bond structure design, and can be connected with fluorescent dye as removable linker. The fluorescent dye connected with the aforementioned compound or its isomer or its salt is disconnected by the removable linker after the end of the photograph, and then the next cycle of sequencing is carried out. Compared with the existing linker, the fluorescent dye connected with the aforementioned compound or its isomer or its salt can significantly reduce the background signal when used for sequencing (such as COOLMPS sequencing).

[0310] In the methods of the present disclosure, a material consisting of both a growing nucleic acid strand and a nucleic acid strand to be sequenced is referred to as a "duplex" regardless of the length of the growing nucleic acid strand or the nucleic acid strand to be sequenced, which can be longer than the growing nucleic acid strand.
[0311] In the methods of the present disclosure, the nucleic acid molecule to be sequenced can be any nucleic acid molecule of interest. In certain preferred embodiments, the nucleic acid molecule to be sequenced comprises deoxyribonucleotides, ribonucleotides, modified deoxyribonucleotides, modified ribonucleotides, or any combination thereof.

For example, the nucleic acid molecule to be sequenced can be single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), single-stranded RNA (ssRNA), double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), or a hybrid of DNA and RNA. In certain preferred embodiments, the nucleic acid molecule to be sequenced is single-stranded DNA. In certain preferred embodiments, the nucleic acid molecule to be sequenced is double-stranded DNA.
[0312] In the methods of the present disclosure, the nucleic acid molecule to be sequenced is not limited by its source. In certain preferred embodiments, the nucleic acid molecule to be sequenced can be obtained from any source, such as any cell, tissue, or organism (e.g., viruses, bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals). In certain preferred embodiments, the nucleic acid molecule to be sequenced is derived from a mammal (e.g., a human, a non-human primate, a rodent, or a canine), a plant, a bird, a reptile, a fish, a fungus, a bacterium, or a virus.
[0313] Methods for extracting or obtaining nucleic acid molecules from cells, tissues, or organisms are well known to those skilled in the art. Suitable methods include, but are not limited to, ethanol precipitation, chloroform extraction, and the like. Detailed descriptions of such methods can be found in, for example, J. Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1989, and F. M. Ausubel et al., Short Protocols in Molecular Biology, 3rd ed., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1995. In addition, various commercial kits are available for extracting nucleic acid molecules from various sources (e.g., cells, tissues, or organisms).
[0314] In the methods of the disclosure, the nucleic acid molecules to be sequenced are not limited by their length. In certain preferred embodiments, the nucleic acid molecules to be sequenced can be at least 10 bp, at least 20 bp, at least 30 bp, at least 40 bp, at least 50 bp, at least 100 bp, at least 200 bp, at least 300 bp, at least 400 bp, at least 500 bp, at least 1000 bp, or at least 2000 bp in length. In certain preferred embodiments, the nucleic acid molecules to be sequenced can be 10-20 bp, 20-30 bp, 30-40 bp, 40-50 bp, 50-100 bp, 100-200 bp, 200-300 bp, 300-400 bp, 400-500 bp, 500-1000 bp, 1000-2000 bp, or more than 2000 bp in length. In certain preferred embodiments, the nucleic acid molecules to be sequenced can have a length of 10-1000 bp to facilitate high-throughput sequencing.
[0315] In the methods of the disclosure for preparing polynucleotides or sequencing, a suitable polymerase can be used to perform the nucleotide polymerization reaction. In some exemplary embodiments, the polymerase is capable of synthesizing a new DNA strand using a DNA template (e.g., a DNA polymerase). In some exemplary embodiments, the polymerase is capable of synthesizing a new DNA strand using an RNA template (e.g., a reverse transcriptase). In some exemplary embodiments, the polymerase is capable of synthesizing a new RNA strand using a DNA or RNA template (e.g., an RNA polymerase). Thus, in certain preferred embodiments, the polymerase is selected from the group consisting of a DNA polymerase, an RNA polymerase, and a reverse transcriptase. A suitable polymerase can be selected to perform the nucleotide polymerization reaction according to the actual need. In certain preferred embodiments, the polymerization reaction is a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In certain preferred embodiments, the polymerization reaction is a reverse transcription reaction.
[0316] In the methods of the disclosure, a KOD polymerase or a mutant thereof can be used to perform the nucleotide polymerization reaction. KOD polymerases or mutants thereof (e.g., KOD POL151, KOD POL157, KOD POL171, KOD POL174, KOD POL376, KOD POL391) have acceptable polymerization efficiency on the modified nucleosides or nucleotides of the disclosure. KOD POL391 and KOD POL171 have acceptable polymerization efficiency on the modified nucleotides of the disclosure. In certain embodiments, KOD POL391 or KOD POL171 has a polymerization efficiency on the modified nucleotides of the disclosure of 70% or more, such as 70-80%, 80-90%, or 90-100%.
[0317] In the method of producing a polynucleotide or the method of sequencing according to the present disclosure, the polymerization reaction of nucleotides is performed under suitable conditions. Suitable polymerization conditions include the composition of a solution phase and the concentration of each component, the pH of the solution phase, the polymerization temperature, and the like. The polymerization is performed under suitable conditions, which is advantageous for obtaining an acceptable, even high, polymerization efficiency.
[0318] In some embodiments according to the present disclosure, the oxygen atom at the 3' position of the deoxyribose of the modified nucleotide is protected, and thus, they are capable of terminating the polymerization of a polymerase (e.g., a DNA polymerase). For example, when the modified nucleotide is introduced to the 3' end of a growing nucleic acid chain, the polymerase will not be able to proceed to the next round of polymerization reaction due to the absence of a free hydroxyl group (-OH) at the 3' position of the deoxyribose of the modified nucleotide, and thus, the polymerization reaction will be terminated. In this case, only one base will be incorporated into the growing nucleic acid chain in each round of polymerization reaction.
[0319] Further, the protecting group of the oxygen atom at the 3' position of the deoxyribose of the modified nucleotide can be removed and converted to a free hydroxyl group (-OH). Subsequently, the next round of polymerization reaction can be performed on the growing nucleic acid chain using a polymerase and a modified nucleotide, and one base is again introduced.
[0320] Thus, the oxygen atom at the 3' position of the deoxyribose of the modified nucleotide can be reversibly blocked, i.e., the modified nucleotide comprises a reversible blocking group that is attached to the oxygen atom at the 3' position of the deoxyribose. When the modified nucleotide is incorporated to the 3' end of a growing nucleic acid chain, they will terminate the polymerase from continuing the polymerization, and the growing nucleic acid chain will not be further extended; and after the blocking group comprised by the modified nucleotide is removed, a free hydroxyl group (-OH) will be present at the 3' position, and the polymerase will be able to continue the polymerization on the growing nucleic acid chain, and the nucleic acid chain will be continued to be extended.
[0321] In other embodiments according to the present disclosure, although the hydroxyl group (-OH) at the 3' position of the deoxyribose of the modified nucleotide can not be protected, the base is protected. Thus, they are also capable of terminating the polymerization of a polymerase (e.g., a DNA polymerase). For example, when the modified nucleotide is introduced to the 3' end of a growing nucleic acid chain, the polymerase will not be able to proceed to the next round of polymerization reaction due to the steric hindrance effect or hydrogen bond interaction, and the like, at the base of the modified nucleotide, and thus, the polymerization reaction will be terminated. In this case, only one base will be incorporated into the growing nucleic acid chain in each round of polymerization reaction.
[0322] Further, the protecting group at the base of the modified nucleotide can be removed. Subsequently, the next round of polymerization reaction can be performed on the growing nucleic acid chain using a polymerase and a modified nucleotide, and one base is again introduced.
[0323] Thus, the base of the modified nucleotide can be reversibly blocked, i.e. the modified nucleotide comprises a reversible blocking group, which is attached to the base. When a modified nucleotide is incorporated at the 3’ end of a growing nucleic acid strand, it will terminate the polymerase from continuing the polymerization, terminating further elongation of the growing nucleic acid strand; and, upon removal of the blocking group comprised by the modified nucleotide, the polymerase will be able to continue the polymerization of the growing nucleic acid strand, continuing the elongation of the nucleic acid strand.
[0324] The dyes (or referred to as fluorescent groups) described herein are all fluorescent dyes routinely used by those skilled in the art. For example, Welch et al. (Chem. Eur. J. 5(3): 951-960, 1999) disclose dansyl-functionalized fluorescent moieties, which can be used in the present disclosure. Zhu et al. (Cytometry 28: 206-211, 1997) describe the use of fluorescent labels Cy3 and Cy5, which can also be used in the present disclosure. Prober et al. (Science 238: 336-341, 1987), Connell et al. (BioTechniques 5(4): 342-384, 1987), Ansorge et al. (Nucl. Acids Res. 15(11): 4593-4602, 1987), and Smith et al. (Nature 321: 674, 1986) also disclose labels suitable for use. Other commercially available fluorescent labels include, but are not limited to, fluorescein, rhodamine (including TMR, Texas Red, and Rox), alexa, boron difluoride, acridine, coumarin, pyrene, benzanthracene, and cyanine.
[0325] In the present disclosure, the dye (or referred to as fluorescent group) or modified dye is carried by the nucleotide molecule by introduction of an affinity reagent (such as an antibody, an aptamer, an affinity Affimer, a Knottin), which can specifically recognize and bind to the epitope of the nucleotide molecule, the specific principle is described in WO2018129214A1. The entire relevant content in WO2018129214A1 is incorporated into the present application.
[0326] The skilled person is aware of the utility of dideoxynucleotide triphosphates in so-called Sanger sequencing methods and related protocols (Sanger-type), which rely on random chain termination at specific types of nucleotides. One example of a Sanger-type sequencing protocol is the BASS method described by Metzker.
[0327] Sanger and Sanger-type methods are typically practiced by performing an experiment in which eight types of nucleotides are provided, four of which contain a 3'-OH group; four of which lack a 3'-OH group and are labeled differently from one another. The nucleotides used that lack a 3'-OH group are dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs). As is well known to those skilled in the art, when the ddNTPs are labeled differently, the sequence of the target oligonucleotide can be determined by assaying the position of the terminal nucleotide that is incorporated, and combining this information.
[0328] It will be appreciated that the modified nucleotides of the present application have utility in Sanger methods and related protocols, as the same effect achieved by using ddNTPs can be achieved by using the modified nucleotides described herein.
[0329] It will also be appreciated that the modified nucleotides of the present application have utility in second generation sequencing (NGS sequencing) and third generation sequencing (single molecule sequencing), as the same effect achieved by using dNTPs can be achieved by using the modified nucleotides described herein.
[0330] The technical solutions of the present disclosure are further explained and described below in connection with specific examples. Except as specifically noted, the instruments referred to in the following examples are those conventionally used in the art, and the reagents referred to are those conventionally available in the art.
[0331] The present disclosure demonstrates the structural design of disulfide bond-based linkers, synthetic routes, and applications in nucleic acid sequencing. The present disclosure designs six disulfide bond linkers as shown below, wherein the synthesis routes of 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 and the sequencing results of 3, 4, 5, and 6 are exemplarily shown below. Those skilled in the art can understand that other compounds can be synthesized in a similar manner and obtain similar sequencing results.
