Description

Crosslinking device based on plasma, using method and application
Technical Field
The application relates to a plasma-based crosslinking device, a method for using the device and the application thereof in the field of biotechnology.
Background
Modern life science has entered the era of molecular biology, and research on life phenomena has reached the molecular level. Many experiments have shown that many cellular vital activities involve interactions between specific DNA segments and specific protein factors, such as DNA replication and repair, RNA transcription and modification, viral transfection and proliferation, etc. Therefore, it is of increasing importance to study the interaction of proteins and DNA by specific covalent cross-linking of the DNA and proteins.
Existing methods for studying protein and nucleic acid interactions mainly include ultraviolet crosslinking and formaldehyde crosslinking. The ultraviolet crosslinking instrument is the most mainstream instrument used in the direction at present, and the principle is as follows: in vivo, proteins and nucleic acids form non-covalent bonds, and if such bonds are irradiated by ultraviolet light, covalent crosslinks can be formed between pyrimidine bases in the DNA molecule and various amino acid residues in the protein molecule (e.g., lysine, serine, cysteine, tryptophan, methionine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, arginine, etc.). If the DNA is pre-labeled, the DNA is combined with the DNA binding protein and subjected to ultraviolet irradiation to generate covalent crosslinking, the DNA which is not combined with the protein is removed by DNase, and the rest is the DNA protein covalent binding complex, so that the DNA binding protein and the molecular weight thereof can be detected. However, ultraviolet rays tend to damage the DNA in the sample (e.g., break DNA), affecting the detection results, and the efficiency of uv treatment to produce covalent crosslinks is low. Formaldehyde is highly efficient in producing crosslinks, but is prone to producing many nonspecific crosslinks, and it is difficult to control the reaction time accurately, and to carry out the termination reaction. The conventional crosslinking methods have limitations, and therefore, it is important to develop a device for efficiently and accurately studying interactions between proteins and nucleic acids.
Cryogenic plasmas are partially ionized gases that contain a variety of physical and chemical effects, such as ultraviolet radiation, electromagnetic fields, thermal effects, charged particles, reactive particles, and the like. At present, low-temperature plasmas in the fields of water, air, food packaging materials, food, grain and the like have great potential. For example, CN102068912a discloses a method for preparing a negatively charged nanofiltration membrane by plasma radiation initiated grafting, CN103835002B discloses a method for degumming kenaf by combining low-temperature plasma with biological enzymes, and EP1255616B1 discloses a method for producing a strongly adhesive surface coating by plasma activated grafting. However, the prior art does not disclose the use of plasma technology, in particular atmospheric pressure low temperature plasma technology, in the field of nucleic acid and/or protein cross-linking.
