Highly specific unnatural base pair systems as a third base pair for PCR amplification
Toward the expansion of the genetic alphabet of DNA, we present highly efficient unnatural base pair systems as an artificial third base pair for PCR. Hydrophobic unnatural base pair systems between 7-(2-thienyl)imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (Ds) and 2-nitro-4-propynylpyrrole (Px) were fine-tuned for efficient PCR, by assessing the amplification efficiency and fidelity using different polymerases and ...
متن کاملAn unnatural base pair system for efficient PCR amplification and functionalization of DNA molecules
Toward the expansion of the genetic alphabet, we present an unnatural base pair system for efficient PCR amplification, enabling the site-specific incorporation of extra functional components into DNA. This system can be applied to conventional PCR protocols employing DNA templates containing unnatural bases, natural and unnatural base triphosphates, and a 3'-->5' exonuclease-proficient DNA pol...
متن کاملPCR Amplification and Transcription for Site-Specific Labeling of Large RNA Molecules by a Two-Unnatural-Base-Pair System
For the site-specific labeling and modification of RNA by genetic alphabet expansion, we developed a PCR and transcription system using two hydrophobic unnatural base pairs: 7-(2-thienyl)-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (Ds) and 2-nitro-4-propynylpyrrole (Px) as a third pair for PCR amplification and Ds and pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde (Pa) for the incorporation of functional components as modified Pa bases i...
متن کاملPlacing extra components into RNA by specific transcription using unnatural base pair systems.
RNA molecules, which can be simply prepared and amplified by transcription using DNA templates, display versatile functionalities depending on their sequences and higher-order structures. This characteristic allows us to generate novel species of RNA that bind target molecules (aptamers) and catalysts (ribozymes) by in vitro selection methods using large populations of random RNA sequences. Ove...
متن کاملIdentification of DNA lesions using a third base pair for amplification and nanopore sequencing
Damage to the genome is implicated in the progression of cancer and stress-induced diseases. DNA lesions exist in low levels, and cannot be amplified by standard PCR because they are frequently strong blocks to polymerases. Here, we describe a method for PCR amplification of lesion-containing DNA in which the site and identity could be marked, copied and sequenced. Critical for this method is i...
