Description

New biotin reagent, methods for its preparation and marking, and applications.

Object of the invention

The invention falls within the area of the Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry with application in the sectors of Biotechnology and Biomedicine. More specifically it refers to development of a new biotin reagent and its use in the preparation of labeled derivatives as well as their binding to biomolecules

State of the art

Biotin (vitamin H) is a soluble molecule in water found at low concentrations in the blood and in the tissues. Its biological function is to act as a molecule transporter of the carboxyl group. Biotin is bound covalently to the enzyme pyruvate carboxylase. A carboxyl group activated, derived from a bicarbonate ion, binds to biotin at through a reaction that requires a supply of energy from of the hydrolysis of an ATP molecule. Next this group carboxyl is transferred to the pyruvate methyl group forming oxaloacetate

Biotin also binds with a high affinity to avidin, 63 Kda glycoprotein, and other related proteins such as streptavidin, non-glycosidated protein ( K d = 10-15 M, Green NM. Adv. Prot. Chem .1975; 29, 85-133.). The affinity between avidin and biotin has a large number of applications, for example, the avidin-biotin complex has been used as a detection system where the target molecule is combined with biotin through its terminal carboxyl group, thus the molecules Biotinylated can be easily detected and separated from the solution. The biotinylation of the target molecule can be carried out without changing the biological or physicochemical properties of the target molecule and without affecting the binding capacity of biotin to avidin.

The strong interaction between streptavidin (or avidin) and biotin (Gitlin, G .; Bayer, EA and Wilchek, M. 1987, Biochem. J. 242, 923-926, Gitlin, G .; Bayer, EA and Wilchek, M. 1988, Biochem. J. 250, 291-294) is well known, in fact it is one of the strongest, within non-covalent biological interactions.

The binding takes place rapidly and is stable in a wide range of pH, temperature and denaturing conditions, which has allowed the development of a wide and diverse number of applications using streptavidin-biotin or avidin-biotin technology. (Savage et al ., Avidin-Biotin Chemistry: A Handbook, 1992: 1-23, Rockford, Pierce Chemical Company).

Biotin-streptavidin affinity is one of the most used in molecular, immunological and cellular assays. Streptavidin can be detected and quantified with a high degree of sensitivity in the complex formed, for example by marking it with an enzyme or a fluorescent or radioactive label. Streptavidin labeling has also been used to detect proteins on the cell surface, to visualize and quantify blots and carry out ELISA tests (P. Vincent, Journal of Immunological Methods , 165; 177-182, 1993).

Streptavidin can also be immobilized. on a surface so as to capture molecules or cells biotinylated. These surfaces can be used to detect the molecules of interest from complex mixtures. Therefore the streptavidin-biotin interaction has been widely used in large number of separation processes, purification and isolation, such as by chromatography of affinity, etc. This same approach has been used to lead to  conducted studies of interactions between biomolecules by use of biosensors based on plasmon resonance of surface (SPR).

The immobilization of oligonucleotides and nucleic acids is frequently used in many molecular biology procedures and in many other techniques such as sequencing, amplification, cDNA preparation and nucleic acid purification. This methodology has been adapted for use in solid phase, using a support covered with streptavidin. Streptavidin-biotin magnetic microparticles have also been prepared for use in PCR (polymerase chain reaction) (Hultman et al ., Nucleic Acids Res . 17: 4937-4946, 1989). This method is of great interest, results in good yields and is easily automated compared to traditional methods of purification based on precipitation and centrifugation.

Most applications are based on the irreversible streptavidin-biotin binding, however in those cases where dissociation of the complex is necessary it is also possible to carry it out and recover biotinylated molecules or cells in this way (Lee et al ., Anal Biochem . 206: 206-207, 1992, Elgar et al ., DNA Sequence 2: 219-226, 1992, and Conrad et al ., Nucleic Acids Res . 20: 6423-6424, 1992 and Tong et al . , Anal. Chem . 64: 2672-2677, 1992).

Biotin is a non-heterocyclic compound. aromatic with a 4-carboxybutyl tail. In the derivatives biotin binds through the 4-carboxybutyl to a connector (spacer) that It can be associated with a biomolecule (protein, carbohydrates, DNA, lipid, drug, etc.). All procedures described for carry out the reaction between biotin and the amino group of the molecule under study used the adjuvants typical of the peptide bond formation such as NHS and EDC, activators of amino and carboxyl groups respectively. Yields described in the literature for this process are low (30%) and the tedious procedure.

On the other hand, in order to use these molecules in the study of biological processes, it is important to mark these molecules so that they can be monitored. The simplest and fastest method of marking biomolecules is the introduction of a fluorophore. One of the fluorescent markers used in the literature is 2,6-diaminopyridine, in whose structure, the presence of the two amino groups allows on the one hand their binding to the conveniently functionalized biomolecule, and on the other hand their subsequent binding to a molecule of biotin, which binds strongly and selectively to avidin. Toomre et al. ( Glycobiology , 8; 653-663, 1994) use biotin and 2,6-diaminopyridine with adjuvants typical of peptide bond formation such as NHS and EDC. The yields described in the literature for this process are 31% (scheme 1).

Among fluorophores you can use 2,6-diaminopyridine, marker fluorescent that absorbs UV-Visible. After the necessary time, 6 hours, a precipitate forms which is obtained by simple methods such as filtering. Be they obtain 100% yields.

Both the new biotin reagent and the biotinylated marker can be attached to a large number of biomolecules (proteins, enzymes, peptides, oligosaccharides or lipids) which allows its use in studies to analyze its involvement in biological processes or in the preparation of systems Diagnostic This process can be carried out in a way simple and consistent in a single stage, that is the addition of the biomolecule to a solution of biotin chloride in the solvent  appropriate (10% DMF (dimethylformamide) or DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) and 90% solvent in which the biomolecule is soluble). Are obtained 95% yields.
