Definitions

  • This invention relates to nucleic acid hybridization assays for the detection of RNA.
  • Such assays are broadly applicable to diagnosis of a disease or condition in humans or animals, assays for pathogens in biological samples, and assays for an organism or virus in food, agricultural products or the environment.
  • nucleic acid hybridization assays of various types are known. There are several assays that utilize a pair of DNA probes and a step of ligating the probes with a DNA ligase, wherein ligation requires that the probes be hybridized adjacent to one another on a target.
  • binary probes assay to refer generally to any assay that includes the step of ligating a pair of probes that are hybridized to a nucleic acid target adjacent to one another. The requirement that the pair of probes be hybridized only when adjacent to one another on a target means that ligation is "target-dependent.”
  • the pair of probes as “binary reporter probes” or "binary probes.”
  • LCR ligase chain reaction
  • Another binary probe assay for DNA targets utilizes a pair of DNA binary probes, one of which serves to immobilize the target on the surface of a solid and the other of which contains a radioactive atom or fluorescent moiety (Landegren et al., 1988). This assay is reported to apply to RNA targets (using DNA binary probes) , but no examples are given (Landegren & Hood, 1991) .
  • a third assay for DNA targets utilizes a pair of DNA binary probes, one of which serves to immobilize the target on the surface of a solid, wherein the reporter molecule is a template that permits exponential amplification by an RNA- directed RNA polymerase such as bacteriophage Q ⁇ replicase
  • the reporter molecule may be a DNA molecule that is itself a template for Q ⁇ replicase (direct amplification) , or it may be template for transcription by T7 RNA polymerase to produce an RNA template for Q ⁇ replicase (indirect amplification) .
  • the assays described above suffer from several drawbacks pertinent here. Most are for DNA targets, for example. That is a drawback, because RNA targets suitable for detection are in most cases much more abundant in samples than their corresponding DNA targets. All of the above assays use DNA binary probes. LCR requires thermal cycling and a thermocycler for amplification, and requires product analysis such as gel electrophoresis. The DNA binary probe assays of Landegren et al., 1988 and Landegren & Hood, 1991 do not include amplification and, therefore, are not sensitive assays.
  • the assays of this invention are nucleic acid hybridization assays for RNA targets using RNA binary probes and an RNA-directed RNA ribozyme ligase that is stringent against hybridization mismatches between the probes and the target.
  • stringent it is meant that at least 10-fold to 100-fold less ligation occurs if there are as few as two base- pair mismatches between the binary probes and the target within nine nucleotides of the ligation junction.
  • Preferred embodiments include sandwich hybridization assays.
  • Preferred embodiments are assays that include exponential amplification for signal generation, including amplification of an RNA reporter molecule at a single temperature by an RNA- directed RNA polymerase, such as Q ⁇ replicase (Lizardi et al., 1988; Lomeli et al., 1989; Martinelli et al., 1992) or amplification of an RNA target with temperature cycling, such as by the ligase chain reaction (Barany, 1991) .
  • RNA- directed RNA polymerase such as Q ⁇ replicase (Lizardi et al., 1988; Lomeli et al., 1989; Martinelli et al., 1992) or amplification of an RNA target with temperature cycling, such as by the ligase chain reaction (Barany, 1991) .
  • Especially preferred embodiments also use techniques for reducing background in the assay, such as, for example, reversible target capture (Morrissey et al., 1989; Hunsaker
  • the assays of this invention utilize a stringent RNA-dependent ribozyme ligase for ligation, most preferably a modified Tetrahymena ribozyme ligase disclosed in the literature (Doudna & Szostak, 1989) .

  • hybridization assays that is, minimally 24 and up to about 45 nucleotides, preferably in the range of 36- 42 nucleotides.
  • Preferred embodiments of this invention utilize a ribozyme ligase that is tethered.
  • tethered means held in proximity to its point of operation.
  • a tethered ribozyme ligase is an RNA comprised of three regions: (1) a ribozyme ligase sequence; (2) a "holdfast,” which is a sequence complementary to the target or a complement thereof; and (3) a "tether,” which is a spacer, a sequence that links the ribozyme ligase sequence to the holdfast.
  • the Examples illustrate two preferred embodiments of a tethered ribozyme ligase.
  • the holdfast is a sequence hybridizable to the target at a site near the target sequence, typically 25-50 nucleotides removed from the ligation point, and the tether is a short sequence covalently linked on one end to the holdfast and on the other end to the ribozyme sequence.
  • a stable holdfast 20-35 nucleotides long and a short tether of 5-12 nucleotides are preferred.
  • a short tether sequence is covalently linked on one end to the ribozyme sequence and on the other end to a binary reporter probe, which in this case acts as the holdfast.
  • a short tether of 5-12 nucleotides is also preferred.
  • the ribozyme ligase sequence will not be able to ligate the binary probes, but if the tether is too long, the improvement in ligation efficiency will be reduced.
  • a suitable tether length for a particular application can be readily ascertained by trial and error.
  • Ribozymes useful in assays according to this invention may contain natural nucleotides or modified nucleotides, such as 2 -0-methylribonucleotides, or both.
  • This invention also includes diagnostic kits for preselected targets containing a pair of RNA binary probes, a ribozyme ligase, and instructions for performing an assay according to this invention. Additional reagents may be included in preferred kits.

  • Probe 61 RNA is generated by .in vitro transcription of an artificial gene that codes for the desired RNA sequence and contains a T7 promoter.
  • the gene is purchased from commercial sources as synthetic DNA.
  • Probe 61 comprises 20 nucleotides of RNA such that the last (3'-terminal) 9 nucleotides anneal with a target sequence 73, while 11 nucleotides remain unpaired.
  • Probe 62 RNA is generated by in vitro transcription of an artificial gene that codes for the desired RNA sequence and contains a T7 promoter. The gene is generated by a polymerase chain reaction (Erlich et al., 1991) using plasmid pJDHOO described by Doudna & Szostak (1989) .

  • Ligation is carried out at 58°C, but this time either of the two ligase sequences 69, 70 may catalyze the reaction. Temperature cycling in this case thus requires alteration between only two temperatures, 96°C for melting and 58°C for annealing and ligation.
  • Target RNA is purified by capture, washing, cleaving and isolation according to the procedure described above in Example 5, but in this case no reporter probes are present.
  • Blood containing HIV-l infected cells is dissolved in 40 ⁇ l of 5 M GuSCN and 80 mM EDTA.
  • RNA target 74 After lysing a 60 ⁇ l solution containing suitable biotinylated capture probes capable of binding the RNA target 74 is added.
  • the paramagnetic particles are washed twice in 2 M GuSCN at 37°C, twice with buffer containing 0.3 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, and finally with release buffer (30 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.6, 15 mM MgCl 2 ) . Then the enzyme ribonuclease H is added (dissolved in release buffer) , and the resulting solution is incubated for 15 minutes at 37°C to cleave the target RNA sequence bound by the capture probe, thus releasing purified target 73 from the target-capture probe hybrids.
