- a target nucleotide sequence hereinafter, referred to as a target nucleotide sequence
- An analysis method based on the complementation of nucleobase sequences can directly analyze genetic characteristics. Therefore, it is a very effective means for identifying genetic diseases, canceration, and microorganisms.
- a method of amplifying a base sequence such as PCR can be applied, high-sensitivity detection may be possible even without time-consuming and laborious operations such as culture.
- sample DNA is immobilized on a nitrocellulose filter and reacted with a labeled probe. If a base sequence complementary to the probe is present in the sample DNA, the labeled probe is captured by the microcellulose filter by hybridization.
- a probe for capture can be used. In this case, the labeled probe is captured in the order of [solid phase], [capture probe]-[sample DNA]-[labeled probe] from the solid phase side.
- the problem with these methods is the adsorption of the labeled probe onto the solid phase independent of the target base sequence.
- Non-specific adsorption of labeled probes is the biggest contributor to reduced sensitivity. Therefore, in general, the hybridization reaction is completely independent of the reaction. This is carried out in the presence of a large amount of a carrier having a unique base sequence.
- sufficient post-reaction washing is used to reduce the effects of non-specific adsorption.
- these measures are not always sufficient.
- Methods for analyzing nucleic acids that do not require separation from labeled probes that have not hybridized are also known.
- a homogenous detection method has been put to practical use, in which a change in signal due to fluorescent labeling occurs between a single-stranded state and a double-stranded state.
- This method has a problem that it is difficult to achieve high sensitivity because it is affected by a background signal. Therefore, it is a common usage method to analyze DNA amplified in advance by PCR or the like.
- SNP single nucleotide polymorphism
- the PCR-SSCP method As a method of detecting a known SNP currently being performed, for example, the PCR-SSCP method can be mentioned. Since this method requires electrophoretic separation, it is not suitable for processing large amounts of samples. Therefore, the provision of a new SNP detection method that does not have such problems is awaited.
- the phenomenon that a nucleic acid having a specific structure specifically binds to a protein or the like based on a principle different from hydrogen bonding between complementary base sequences is already known.
- the SELEX method systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment for selecting nucleic acid molecules in vitro with greater affinity is known (Nature 355, 564-566, 1990).
- an RNA library having a random nucleotide sequence is brought into contact with a ligand, the ligand-bound RNA is recovered, amplified by RT-PCR, and the amplified and purified RNA is transcribed into type II RNA.
- This is a method of obtaining a nucleic acid having a high binding affinity to a certain ligand by repeating the step of bringing the nucleic acid into contact with the ligand again.
- the nucleic acid molecule having the affinity selected in this way can be used for various hybridization assays. In particular, there are no reports suggesting its application to the detection of SNPs that require discrimination of only one base difference. Disclosure of the invention

- nucleic acid abtamer refers to a nucleic acid molecule having at least one set of complementary base sequences within a molecule or between molecules, and having an affinity for a ligand, formed by hybridization of the complementary base sequences.
- a typical nucleic acid abtamer in the present invention is composed of a double-stranded portion (hybrid) formed by hybridization of the complementary base sequence and a single-stranded portion that does not form a hybrid.
- the single-stranded portion usually forms a higher-order structure unique to each abtamer by hydrogen bonding, stacking, or hydrophobic interaction.
- Bonding modes that are particularly important for the formation of higher-order structures are hydrogen bonding and stacking.
- Particularly important among the hydrogen bonds are base pair formation such as Watson-Crick type, non-Watson-Crick type, and G-quartet.
- the binding affinity of a nucleic acid abtamer for a ligand depends on the conformation. Therefore, for example, under conditions where nucleic acid hybrids cannot be maintained, Loss of binding affinity.

- Three-way junction refers to a structure in which three nucleic acid strands form a double strand with each other, resulting in three double-stranded nucleic acids interleaving at one place. That is, three stems (double strands) cross at one place, and three complementary base pairs of six bases constitute a three-way junction.
- the three nucleic acid strands may be single-stranded nucleic acids with a stem-loop structure (Fig. 6b), or three independent nucleic acid strands may form a three-way junction (Fig. 6a).
- nucleic acid abtamer having this novel structure is one of the desirable nucleic acid aptamers that can be used in the method for detecting a nucleic acid according to the present invention.
- nucleic acid abtamers for detection of a target base sequence
- the structure of the nucleic acid abtamer is changed depending on the presence or absence of the target base sequence, and a design is made so that the binding affinity with the ligand fluctuates.
- a nucleic acid aptamer composed of a three-way junction structure newly discovered by the present inventors described above all three base pair bonds at the junction are completely complementary for ligand binding. Must be targeted.
- two of the three base pairs constituting the junction are GC base pairs. One of the two sets can be prepared as a probe, and the other set is used for G, Or C.
- a probe when detecting a target nucleotide sequence based on the present invention, a probe is designed so that a junction is formed at G or C in the target nucleotide sequence, and the probe corresponds to the junction on the probe side. It can be said that it is desirable that the part that is formed be G—C base pairs.
- the junction component base on the probe side can be any Ptson one-click base. Can be paired.
- a high degree of affinity can be reliably achieved by setting all three base pairs constituting the junction to GC base pairs.
- the two strands constituting the stem portion are completely complementary, resulting in higher affinity.
- the constituent bases of the loop part hardly affect the affinity. Therefore, when the conditions required for maintaining affinity are satisfied (or not satisfied) due to the presence of the target nucleotide sequence, the binding activity to the ligand serves as an indicator of the target nucleotide sequence.
- one of the three DNA strands that make up the three-way junction is used as the target base sequence, and the remaining two are provided as probes, so that a stem junction is formed only when both are hybridized.
- a probe in which one stem loop and a single-stranded portion constituting both ends thereof contain a complementary nucleotide sequence required for hybridization with the target nucleotide sequence is three-way hybridized with the target nucleotide sequence.

- nucleic acid abtamer having a three-way junction structure In order to detect SNPs in a target base sequence using a nucleic acid abtamer having a three-way junction structure, three-way junctions are required depending on the SNP to be detected. Design the probe to be equivalent to a cushion. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to configure a reaction system in which the binding affinity with the ligand changes very clearly depending on the presence or absence of the SNP.
- the use of the nucleic acid abtamer of the three-way junction structure of the present invention results in a mismatch in one set of base pairs associated with the SNP as compared to the case where the base pairs constituting the junction are completely complementary.
- a characteristic structure that substantially loses the binding affinity with the ligand can be used. High accuracy and sensitivity can be expected from nucleic acid abtamers, which produce a large difference in binding affinity due to a single base difference.
- the hybridization between the target base sequence and the probe is detected using the binding affinity with the ligand as an index.
- any known binding analysis principle can be applied for binding between the nucleic acid abtamer and the ligand. The following describes some of the detection principles.
- the nucleic acid aptamer resulting from the hybridization of the labeled probe to the target base sequence can be captured by the ligand on the solid phase. Detection of the target probe is achieved by detecting the labeled probe captured on the solid phase (or remaining in the liquid phase).
- a labeled probe is captured on a solid phase
- the binding to a solid phase is based on a different principle from hybridization between complementary base sequences. Reliable cleaning conditions can be used. In other words, even if washing is performed with a low stringency that does not affect complementary base pairing, conditions that can sufficiently remove the labeled probe non-specifically adsorbed to the solid phase or the ligand can be easily obtained. Can be set to As a result, specific detection with a low background signal is possible.
- the method for detecting a target base sequence according to the present invention is performed in a homogeneous system. be able to. That is, the target base sequence can be detected by fluorescently labeling the probe or ligand and measuring the fluorescence polarization resulting from the binding between the nucleic acid aptamer and the ligand. Fluorescein isothiosinate and the like are known as fluorescent labels.
- the ligand a compound that emits fluorescence itself can be used. For example, many porphyrin derivatives, which are one of known ligands bound by nucleic acid aptamers, emit fluorescence.
- SPR surface plasmon resonance
- Molecules bound to the sensor surface cause a change in the refractive index near the surface layer, which is detected as a change in the SPR signal. Further changes in the refractive index and the SPR signal occur due to the interaction of the biomolecules. By detecting the change in the signal, the interaction of the biomolecules can be measured.
- the amount of the nucleic acid aptamer generated by the hybridization of the target base sequence and the probe is determined by immobilizing the ligand captured by the nucleic acid abtamer on a chip. It can be measured from a change in the signal.
- the target base sequence may be an amplification product obtained by an amplification method such as PCR.

- the CPK model (Corey-Pauling-koltun space filling molecular model) is the space in the molecular model. It is a kind of real model.
- the Atomic Modeling Committee of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States has improved and commercialized a molecular model of Core y-Pauling.
- the affinity for cholic acid of a three-way junction structure obtained by hybridizing a probe and a target base sequence consisting of the following base sequences was measured by SPR.
- the target base sequence and the probe were mixed at 5 ⁇ each and heat-denatured under the same conditions as in Example 1- (1).
- Probe sequence Z SEQ ID NO: 30 (lower case is complementary to target base sequence)
- the binding amount was 36.6 ⁇ (in the case of ch2-40, the binding amount was 27.8 ⁇ under the same conditions).
- the target base sequence into which a single base mutation was introduced (5′-CCTAGCAGCcGGAGCGGTGG-3 ′; SEQ ID NO: 31; lowercase letters were mutated)
- cholic acid did not bind at all under the same conditions (binding Volume 0 ⁇ ).
- the cleaved product was electrophoresed on a 10% polyacrylamide gel containing 7M urea (19%, monomer: dimer ratio 19: 1). .
- the running system is composed of 90 mM trisborate (pH 8.0) and 2 mM EDTA. Gels were scanned and analyzed using FluorLnager 595. Fig. 7 shows the results.
- FIG. 7 shows a photograph of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
- the modification pattern of ch9-48 under conditions of folding using binding buffer at 20 ° C was in good agreement with the putative secondary structure (Figure 8). Strong modification was seen at T43 near the junction, and T in the loop region was also highly reactive. T in the stem region was efficiently protected except for T23 and T46. T23 is thought to be highly reactive because it is located at the end of the stem, and T46 is thought to be highly reactive due to the instability of the short stem structure lacking the loop.
- the present invention provides a novel method for detecting a target base sequence utilizing the formation of a nucleic acid abtamer.
- the detection method of the present invention provides a method for binding to a ligand based on a single base mismatch.
- the use of nucleic acid abtamers whose affinity changes greatly allows the specific detection of SNPs.
- the principle of detection that causes such a distinct change due to a single base mismatch has not been known so far.
- the present invention provides a nucleic acid aptamer having a novel structure, which is useful for the method for detecting a target base sequence of the present invention.
- the nucleic acid aptamer of the present invention that captures a ligand such as cholic acid at a three-way junction loses its binding affinity with the ligand if any one of the three base pairs at the three junctions is mismatched. Therefore, a nucleic acid aptamer consisting of a three-way junction can be said to be a very suitable nucleic acid abtamer when the present invention is applied to SNP detection.
