Definitions

  • the invention relates to modified enzymes for de novo synthesis of polynucleotides with a desired sequence, and without the use of a template.
  • the invention provides the capability to make libraries of polynucleotides of varying sequence and varying length for research, genetic engineering, and gene therapy.
  • nucleic acid sequences are synthesized using solid phase phosphoramidite- techniques developed more than 30 years ago.
  • the technique involves the sequential de protection and synthesis of sequences built from phosphoramidite reagents corresponding to natural (or non-natural) nucleic acid bases.
  • Phosphoramidite nucleic acid synthesis is length- limited, however, in that nucleic acids greater than 200 base pairs (bp) in length experience high rates of breakage and side reactions. Additionally, phosphoramidite synthesis produces toxic by products, and the disposal of this waste limits the availability of nucleic acid synthesizers, and increases the costs of contract oligo production.
  • the invention discloses modified terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) enzymes that can be used for de novo synthesis of oligonucleotides in the absence of a template.
  • TdT terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase
  • Methods for creating a template-independent polymerase through a combination of computational guidance and saturation mutagenesis, with a subsequent screen to identify functional mutants are also disclosed.
  • Native TdT enzymes are either inefficient or completely unable to incorporate the different blocked nucleotide analogs used in template-independent synthesis schemes.
  • the present invention provides various TdT modifications that expand the enzyme’s functionality with respect to blocked nucleotide analogs, especially those with 3'-0 blocking groups.
  • modified TdTs of the invention can be used to incorporate 3'-0- Phosphate-blocked nucleotide analogs where wild type TdTs may be unable to do so.
  • Methods of the invention include nucleic acid synthesis using 3'-0-blocked nucleotide analogs and Shrimp Alkaline Phosphatase (SAP) for controlled addition of selected nucleotides.
  • SAP Shrimp Alkaline Phosphatase
  • the methods can be used to create template-independent transferases that can synthesize custom oligos in a stepwise fashion using modified 3' hydroxyl-blocked nucleotides. Because of the terminating group, synthesis pauses with the addition of each new base, whereupon the terminating group is cleaved, leaving a polynucleotide that is essentially identical to a naturally occurring nucleotide (i.e., is recognized by the enzyme as a substrate for further nucleotide incorporation).
  • the methods and enzymes of the invention represent an important step forward in synthetic biology because the enzymes will allow for aqueous phase, template-independent oligonucleotide synthesis. Such methods represent an improvement over the prior art in that they will greatly reduce the chemical waste produced during oligonucleotide synthesis while allowing for the production of longer polynucleotides. Furthermore, because the methods replace a chemical process with a biological one, costs will be reduced, and the complexity of automated synthetic systems will also be reduced. In an embodiment, a simple five-reagent delivery system can be used to build oligonucleotides in a stepwise fashion and will enable recycling of unused reagents.

  • the invention facilitates the synthesis of polynucleotides, such as DNA, by providing modified enzymes that can be used with nucleic acid analogs.
  • modified enzymes that can be used with nucleic acid analogs.
  • TdT template-independent terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase
  • the enzymes of the invention lend themselves to aqueous-based, enzyme-mediated methods of synthesizing polynucleotides of a predetermined sequence on a solid support.
  • the modified enzymes of the invention will allow 3’-0-blocked dNTP analogs to be used in a step-by-step method to extend an initiating nucleic acid into a user defined sequence (see Figure 2). Furthermore, after each nucleotide extension step, the reactants can be recovered and recycled from the solid support back to the original reagent reservoir. Once that step is complete, the 3 ’-O-blocking group will be removed, allowing the cycle to start anew. At the conclusion of n cycles of extension-recover-deblock-wash, the full length, single strand polydeoxynucleotide will be cleaved from the solid support and isolated for subsequent use.
  • 3'-0-blocked deoxynucleotides may be used, but the choice of specific 3'-0-blocking groups is dictated by: 1) the smallest possible bulk to maximize substrate utilization by TdT and 2) removal of the blocking group with the mildest and preferably aqueous conditions in the shortest period of time.
  • Cost savings by this approach will be achieved by exploiting the higher yield of final oligonucleotide product at a lower starting scale than currently being used as the existing industry standard (i.e., less than 1 nanomole).
  • Future adaptation of this enzymatic approach to array based formats will allow even further and more dramatic reductions in the cost of synthesis of long oligonucleotides achievable by highly parallel synthesis.
  • the enzymatic synthesis process that we propose uses only aqueous based chemistries like buffers and salts, thus greatly reducing the environmental burden of the organic waste generated by the existing phosphoramidite method.
  • TdT terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferases

  • TdT can extend primers in a near quantitative manner resulting in the addition of thousands of nucleotides, while TdT is likely to accept a wide variety of modified and substituted dNTPs as efficient substrates. Furthermore, a substantial library of mechanistic and structural information regarding TdT already exists. See Delame et ah, EMBQ J. 2002;21(3):427-39; Gouge et al., J Mol Biol. 2013 Nov 15;425(22):4334-52 and Romain et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 2009;37(14):4642-56, both of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties.
  • TdT can use substrates having modifications and/or substitutions at the deoxyribose sugar ring as well as the purine/pyrimidine nucleobases.
  • TdT accepts bulky modifications at the C5 of pyrimidines and the C7 of purines. See Sorensen et al., “Enzymatic Ligation of Large Biomolecules to DNA,” ACS Nano 2013, 7(9):8098-104; Figeys et al., Anal. Chem. 1994, 66(23):4382-3; Li et al., Cytometry, 1995, 20(2): 172-80, all of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties.
  • TdT can even accept non nucleotide triphosphates. See Barone et al., Nucleotides and Nucleic Acids 2001, 20(4-7): 1141- 5, and Alexandrova et al., Bioconjug Chem., 2007, 18(3):886-93, both of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties. However, there is little evidence in the prior art that TdT can accept 3'-0-blocked nucleotides. See, for example, Knapp et al., Chem. Eur. J., 2011, 17:2903, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
  • TdT Native TdT is a very efficient enzyme. It has been demonstrated that TdT can polymerize extremely long homopoly deoxynucleotides of 1000 to 10,000 nucleotides in length (see Hoard et al., J of Biol Chem, 1969244(19):5363-73; Bollum, The Enzymes, Volume 10, New York: Academic Press; 1974. p. 141-71; Tjong et al., Anal Chem, 2011, 83:5153-59, all of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties). Random sequence oligomers consisting of all four nucleotides have also been polymerized by TdT, however there are no reports of ordered polynucleotides being synthesized in the absence of a template.
  • TdT The distributive behavior of TdT is reinforced by Figure 3, which shows a time course of a solution phase synthesis of 1-1.5 kb homopolymers.
  • Figure 3 shows a time course of a solution phase synthesis of 1-1.5 kb homopolymers.
  • the enzyme dissociates, thus allowing the random extension of any strand in the population.
  • the distribution of product lengths in such a system should follow a Poisson distribution, as reported by Bollum and co-workers in 1974. If TdT were used with a terminating nucleotide species, i.e., one with the 3’-0-position blocked, the reaction should proceed to completion, resulting not in a distribution of product lengths, but essentially a pure product of a single nucleotide addition.
  • FIG. 3 shows a gel shift assay used to monitor the solution phase incorporation kinetics of 3'-0- azidomethyl dATP and 3'-0-azidomethyl dCTP using a commercially-available, recombinant TdT.
  • the data in FIG. 3 clearly show that neither 3'-0-modified dNTP analog is a substrate for TdT, i.e., there is no polynucleotide extension when compared to reactions containing dATP as a positive control (lanes 12 thru 15).
  • FIG. 3 thus, adds further evidence that commercially- available TdTs are not able to synthesize oligomers by incorporating dNTPs with modified 3'-
  • 3'-0-blocked dNTP analogs include, but are not limited to, the 3'-0-allyl, 3'-0-azidomethyl, 3'-0-NH 2 , 3'-0-CH 2 N 3, 3'-0- 0NHC(0)H, 3'-0-CH 2 SSCH 3, and 3'-0-CH 2 CN blocking groups.
  • 3'- O-blocking group will be dictated by: 1) the smallest possible bulk to maximize substrate utilization by TdT, which is likely to affect kinetic uptake, and 2) the blocking group with the mildest removal conditions, preferably aqueous, and in the shortest period of time.
  • 3'-0- blocking groups that are the suitable for use with this invention are described in WO 2003/048387; WO 2004/018497; WO 1996/023807; WO 2008/037568; Hutter D, et al.

  • the phosphate portions of the dATPs are in complex with the catalytic metal ions (green) while the alpha phosphate is positioned to be attacked by the 3'-OH of the bound oligonucleotide .
  • the model shown in FIG. 4 indicates the choice of amino acid residues likely to interfere with the formation of a catalytically productive complex when a 3’-0-blocked dNTP is present.
  • Other residues that may interact with the closest residues, like Glu 180 or Met 192, are also targets of modification. Amino acid numbering and positions are provided with reference to the murine TdT of SEQ ID NO. 9 but the referenced amino acid modifications are applicable to any TdT having similar sequence including the GGFRR or TGSR motifs.
  • Arg336 is near the reaction center in the active site, Arg 336 is highly conserved, and early studies found that replacement of Arg336 with Gly or Ala reduced dNTP activity by 10-fold (Yang B et al. J. Mol. Biol. 1994; 269(16): 11859-68). Accordingly, one motif for modification is the GGFRR motif including Arg 336 in the above structural model.
  • Gly452 and Ser453 exist in a cis-peptide bond conformation (see Delarue et al., EMBQ J., 2002; 21(3):427- 39, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety) and that the guanidinium group of Arg336 assists in the stabilization of this conformation.
  • the stability provided by Arg336 may help explain why substitutions at this position have a negative impact on the reactivity of modified TdT proteins.
  • the instability created by modifying position 336 may be overcome by using proline residues to stabilize cis-peptide bond conformation.
  • the entire TGSR motif (positions 451, 452, 435, 454) may also have to be modified to compensate for this change.
  • the TGSR motif may be modified to TPSR or TGPR. Accordingly, the TGSR motif, including Gly452 in the above structural model was targeted for modification.
  • sequence analysis of the TdT family demonstrates a wide range of amino acids that can be accommodated at position 454. This analysis suggests structural flexibility at position 454, and surrounding residues.
  • substitutions at Arg454 to accommodate the steric bulk of a 3'- O-blocking group may require additional modifications to the al4 region to compensate for substitutions of glycine or alanine at Arg454.
  • substitutions to other residues in the all region may be required to compensate for substitution to Arg336 either instead of, or in addition to, modification of the TGSR motif.
  • residues such as Gly332, Gly333, Gly452, Thr451, Trp450, Ser453, and Q455 of murine TdT are important. Each of these residues is within 0.6nm of the 3'-OH of a typical dNTP. These residues are also potential targets for substitution to allow the extra steric bulk of a 3’-blocking group like 3'-0-azidomethyl or 3'-0-aminoxy.
  • Residues that are within 1.2 nm of the 3'-OH such as Glu457, Ala510, Asp509, Arg508, Lysl99, Serl96, Metl92, Glul80 or Leul61 may also potentially interfere with the substrate utilization of a 3'-0-blocked dNTP and are thus targets for substitution in addition to or in combination with Arg336 and Arg454. Additional residues of interest include Arg461 and Asn474.
