Description

Method for detecting RNA N6-methyladenine modification in single base resolution in full transcriptome range

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of gene sequencing, and particularly relates to a method for detecting RNA N in a full transcriptome range with single base resolution⁶-methyl adenine modification method and kit.

Background

RNA is composed of not only cytosine (C), thymine (U), guanine (G) and adenine (A) in combination. N is a radical of⁶-methyladenine (m)⁶A) Is an extremely important modified base on RNA, and plays a plurality of biological functions in biological processes, such as regulating the expression of genes and the like. Among them, the identification and sequencing method of the modification is a precondition for the research of the biological significance.

Because the physical and chemical properties of methyl modified adenine are close to those of common adenine, the detection can not be directly carried out by utilizing the existing one-generation or two-generation sequencing technology. At present, based on m⁶The antibody immunoprecipitation sequencing technology (MeRIP-seq) can make us know which transcripts and genomes contain m⁶A is modified, but the resolution is only limited to the range of 100 to 200 bases, which A is methylated cannot be distinguished, and whether the A is a single A or a cluster A is methylated cannot be distinguished. In order to increase the resolution, a method of immunoprecipitation (CLIP) after photocrosslinking of antibody/RNA, i.e. m on antibody and RNA, was also used⁶Optically active uracil or thio-congener adjacent to A is crosslinked, reverse transcription process causes the crosslinked uracil site to mutate or terminate near the crosslinking position, and further analysis of mutation or termination information indirectly identifies A adjacent to uracil as m⁶And (3) A site. Although the resolution of this method is improved, the location identification is indirect and m cannot be distinguished⁶And (4) clustering A.

From the above analysis, it was found that m is present on conventional RNA⁶The reason that the high-throughput analysis means of the A site does not obtain major breakthrough is mainly that the current antibody immunoprecipitation enrichment technology is always based on m enriched by antibodies⁶A sequence fragment, or antibody and m⁶Cross-linking of photoactive uracils or thio-homologues on A sequence fragments to indirectly identify m⁶Site of A, not passing through m directly⁶The A site is mutated in a manner to identify its site.

We wish to replace m with an identifiable modification group by grafting the modification group to an amino acid, introducing the amino acid with the modification group into cellular metabolism⁶A is subjected to methylation modification, and then the site where the modification group is located is identified by means of mutation sequencing, so that m is identified⁶Purpose of A site. But under the conditions of the current culture,amino acids with modifying groups are at a disadvantage in competition with normal amino acids for cellular metabolism and cannot be introduced into cells.

Therefore, a culture condition suitable for introducing a modified amino acid into cells is under urgent development.

The invention realizes N of ribonucleic acid (RNA) adenine in cells for the first time⁶Allyl labelling for the subsequent passage m⁶The way in which the A site is mutated to identify its site provides the possibility.

Due to N⁶The modification efficiency of-allyladenosine is low, so that N is used in the present invention⁶Antibodies to isopentenyl adenosine to specifically enrich for N⁶Antibodies to allyladenosine. Because currently there is no N temporarily⁶Antibodies specific for allyladenosine, analyzed and screened for some commercial antibodies, we found that N⁶Antibodies to isopentenyl adenosine to N⁶-allyladenosine, the antibody having a specificity for N⁶Allyl adenosine has better binding capacity, and the commercial antibody is more easily obtained, thereby greatly improving the practicability of the method.

The invention adopts N⁶-allyl radicalAdenosine triphosphate (a)⁶ATP) as eluent due to a⁶A on ATP and RNA⁶The main structure of the A modification is the same, and the water solubility of the A modification is increased by the triphosphate, so that the A modification has stronger binding capacity with the antibody, and the A modification is similar to the a modification⁶The A modified RNA is in competition in binding to the antibody, so a can be bound to the antibody through competition⁶Elution of A-modified RNA. Therefore, compared with the common RNA extraction method for eluting RNA, the method enables a⁶The RNA modified by A is almost completely separated from the antibody, and the yield of the eluted RNA is greatly improved.

In the present invention, HIV Reverse Transcriptase is used for Reverse transcription of RNA subjected to iodine addition and cyclization induction, because it is found in our research that HIV Reverse Transcriptase has a stronger recognition ability for hydrogen bond-shielded cyclization structures of adenine for base complementary pairing, we have selected a number of commercial Reverse transcriptases, including HIV Reverse Transcriptase (Worthington Biochemical Corporation), M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase (PROMEGA, M170A), AMV Reverse Transcriptase (PROMEGA, M510F), RevertAID Reverse Transcriptase (Thermofisher, EP0441), SuperScript II Reverse Transcriptase (Invitrogen,100004925), SuperScript III Reverse Transcriptase (Invitrogen,55549), etc., and finally discovered that HIV Reverse Transcriptase is a in a⁶The corresponding site is mutated during the reverse transcription of the A iodine addition cyclization RNA.
