Definitions
- the present invention relates to the general field of biochemical assays and separations, and to apparatus for their practice, generally classified in U.S. Patent Class 435.
- nucleic acid purification and assays Interest in nucleic acid purification and assays has increased with human trials of plasmid-based vaccines (e.g., for influenza, HIV, and malaria) and therapeutics (e.g., insulin and vascularization promoters) as well as the steady expansion of DNA sequencing activities, pharmacogenomics, and genetic testing.
- This invention embodies a rapid and efficient method of nucleic acid assay using selective precipitation by compaction agents.
- q-value and C# are useful parameters for correlating reactivity and selectivity.
- the q-value was proposed by Marc Halpern (PTC Organics) in 1988 and reflects the accessibility of the positive charge of a quat.
- a q-value of 1.0 to 2.0 often gives high reactivity for "transfer rate limited” reactions whereas a q-value of ⁇ 1 often gives high reactivity for reactions which require a loose ion pair.
- the q-value is calculated by adding the reciprocals of the numbers of carbons on each of the 4 chains.
- C# is simply the sum of all of the carbons of the quat and is a measure of the organophilicity of the quat. Sources include Sachem, Cognis, Lion Akzo, Merck and PTC organics, whose websites give additional information.
- nucleic acid separation is relatively time-consuming and require the use of adsorbents, toxic substances, nucleases, and/or filtration media to separate individual nucleic acid types from protein, genomic DNA, endotoxins and especially the abundant RNA present in cell lysates. Many do not provide samples in a state ready for assays such as RT-PCR.
- the present invention offers several important improvements over current methods: no DNAse and/or other enzymes need be used, the technique requires no chromatographic medium, and the purified samples are left in a form ready for assays such as RT-PCR. Also, with the use of different compaction agents, different types of nucleic acids can be separated from the same mixture. The invention can separate different types of RNA and DNA as long as some secondary structure is present.
- RNA can be fractionated based on molecular weight via selective precipitation.
- the method can also be used for parallel purification of a large number of samples (mini-preps) and is readily adaptable to automation (robotics).
- the invention also provides a method for making a biochemical assay of one or more selected messenger RNA (mRNA)species, while reducing the RT-PCR background due to genomic DNA contamination.
- mRNA messenger RNA
- the invention also provides a method of preparing a nucleic acid sample having reduced DNA content and also reduced content of compaction precipitation agent by selective removal of compaction agent.
- Especially preferred embodiments include selective DNA precipitation over RNA, assay of RNA by first precipitating DNA, then assaying RNA in a second step; syntheses of preferred compaction precipitation agents; and removal of compaction agents before performing biochemical assays on the sample.
- the invention comprises a method of assaying RNA in a mixture comprising DNA and RNA, said method comprising in combination the steps of:
- the invention further comprises a method of preparing substantially purified RNA without the use of nucleases or proteases, or organic solvent extraction, comprising adding an effective amount of a compaction agent selected from the group consisting of: quaternary ammonium polyamines and Phase Transfer Catalysts (PTCs) to a lysate containing DNA and RNA to selectively precipitate from said lysate, plasmid-DNA, chromosomal-DNA, or oligonucleocidal-DNA having a content of RNA of less than 3% by weight.
- a compaction agent selected from the group consisting of: quaternary ammonium polyamines and Phase Transfer Catalysts (PTCs)
- compositions of the invention comprise a mixture comprising RNA, DNA, a compaction precipitation agent, and a reverse transcriptase or DNA polymerase enzyme.
- DNA preferably plasmid DNA
- RNA is readily purified, by use of selective precipitation, preferably by addition of compaction agents.
- selective precipitation preferably by addition of compaction agents.
- a scaleable method for the liquid-phase separation of DNA from RNA may also be recovered by fractional precipitation according to the invention.
- RNA commonly present mixed with DNA
- DNA can be left in solution while DNA is directly precipitated.
- DNA can be re-dissolved by addition of salts, excursions of pH, and/or removal of compaction agent.
- Additional aspects of the invention include mini -preps, preferably of plasmid and chromosomal DNA to obtain sequenceable and restriction digestible DNA in high yields in multiple simultaneous procedures.
- Still further aspects comprise removal of the compaction agent by a stripping method comprising high salt addition or pH shift, and combinations of these techniques. Also, disclosed is a method of assay in which DNA is removed from RNA species of interest by selective precipitation, optionally followed by treatment with an enzyme such as a reverse transcriptase and/or polymerase.
- the starting material is often a mass of cells prepared by fermentation or cell culture, isolated from the environment or a patient, or derived from tissues. Viruses may be present, and viral RNA may be of primary interest in some preferred applications.
- the cells are then disrupted so the nucleic acids go into solution, forming a lysate.
- a variety of cell types can be used as feed for this process, with human, non-human primate, rodent, bacterial, yeast, other eukaryotic, Gram- negative and Gram-positive being preferred, and human, virus, rodent, and non-human primate being most preferred.
- the product of the invention can be a protein-containing mixture depleted of nucleic acids, purified DNA, RNA such as messenger RNA, viral RNA, ribosomal RNA or microRNA; or assay results, preferably RNA, and most preferably a sample containing RNA with reduced content of DNA.
- RNA such as messenger RNA, viral RNA, ribosomal RNA or microRNA
- assay results preferably RNA, and most preferably a sample containing RNA with reduced content of DNA.
- the selective precipitation of the invention can be applied to all bacteria (Gram- negative, Gram-positive and Archaea), all eukaryotes (such as yeast and human cells), recombinant cells, viruses and all synthetic nucleic acids.
- bacteria Gram- negative, Gram-positive and Archaea
- eukaryotes such as yeast and human cells
- recombinant cells viruses and all synthetic nucleic acids.
- the compaction agents are preferably small, cationic molecules, which bind in either the major or minor grooves of a double-stranded RNA or DNA molecule, reducing the volume occupied by the nucleic acid.
- Compaction agents include those selected from the group consisting of: quaternary ammonium polyamines, the compounds of Figures 1-3 and PTCs.
- compaction of DNA involves charge neutralization in combination with stabilization of inter-helix interactions.
- the compaction agent binds in either the major or minor groove, in proximity to the negatively charged phosphate groups. Precipitation occurs when adjacent DNA helices are affected simultaneously, with the compaction agent not only reducing the helix-helix repulsion but also bridging the helixes.
- RNA is far less readily precipitated by certain compaction agents, preferably linear polyamine type compaction agents, and found that RNA can be selectively precipitated and even fractionated using specialized compaction agents, most preferably, hexammine cobalt as the compaction agent and/or without substantial precipitation of contaminating endotoxins.
- compaction agents preferably linear polyamine type compaction agents
- a compaction agent preferably selected from the group consisting of: basic polypeptides (e.g. polylysine), polyamines (e.g. protamine, spermidine, spermine, putrescine, cadaverine, etc.), trivalent and tetravalent metal ions (e.g.
- quaternary ammonium polyamines the compounds of Figures 1-3 and PTCs.
- the quaternary ammonium polyamines, the compounds of Figures 1-3 and PTCs. will be more preferred, but any other molecule that can be used to compact DNA via the mechanism described above can be used according to the product to be produced and the cell mass available.
- agents may be considered compaction agents and these include: basic polypeptides (i.e. polylysine), polyamines (i.e. protamine, spermidine, spermine, cadaverine, etc.), trivalent and tetravalent metal ions (i.e. hexammine cobalt, chloropentammine cobalt, chromium (III)), netropsin, distamycin, lexitropans, DAPI (4', 6 diamino 2-phenylindol), berenil, pentamidine, manganese chloride, or any other molecule that can be used to compact DNA via the mechanism described above. Also any protein having multiple binding domains for nucleic acids can potentially, for large complexes, result in the precipitation of nucleic acids.
- basic polypeptides i.e. polylysine
- polyamines i.e. protamine, spermidine, spermine, cadaverine, etc.
- compaction precipitation agents having at least 4 and less than 30 (preferably 8 to 20) positively charged groups, which groups are separated by 2-6 (preferably 3-4) covalent bond linkages.
- Preferred compaction agents include those having the formula shown in Figure 1, and those shown in Figures 2 and 3 with Quatroquat and Q-diquat (See Example 2) being most preferred.
- the preferred polyquaternary ammonium compounds of the instant invention include those having the structure (I):
- each group Ri, R 2 , R 3 , R' i, R' 2 , Rl 3 , R 4 and R 5 may be independently selected from alkyl, aryl, and aralky, and each preferably contains 1-10, more preferably 1-6 carbon atoms; each Y may be independently selected from -H, -OH, halo, alkyl, aryl and aralkyl; and each preferably contains 0-10, more preferably 0-6 carbon atoms; z may be any whole number from 0 to about 10; more preferably 0-6;
- a, b, and c each may be any whole number from 0 to 2, with the proviso that the sum a+b+c in any fragment is at least 1 ;
- An " may be one of more organic or inorganic, monovalent or polyvalent anion as needed to obtain a neutral compound e.g. chloride, hydroxide, acetate.
- spermidine has high potency for the condensation of plasmid DNA and chromosomal DNA but not RNA
- hexammine cobalt has a relatively broad scattering curve for total RNA, suggesting the possibility of fractionation
- spermine has a high potency for all three nucleic acids.
- These scattering curves were earlier used as the basis of a multi-step selective precipitation protocol for RNA in which plasmid DNA and chromosomal DNA are removed with an initial spermidine precipitation, RNA is precipitated or fractionated with a hexammine cobalt precipitation, and small RNAs ( ⁇ 500 bases) can be precipitated at increased hexammine cobalt concentration.
- Selective precipitation shows promise for separation of RNA without the use of enzymes, organic solvents, or gel electrophoresis. Large structured RNA molecules can be separated and RNA fractionated based on size and structure in solution phase.
- quaternary ammonium polyamines and the compounds of Figures 1-3 have enhanced potency for precipitation of DNA away from RNA, at lower concentrations and/or at higher ionic strength than previously reported agents. This is advantageous in the preparation of DNA, and in the preparation of RNA depleted of contaminating DNA, with the use of lower concentrations of compaction agent, especially in the presence of higher ionic strengths as may be found in cell lysates, physiological specimensTand the products of the widely-used alkaline lysis process.
- the present invention is useful in the separation of DNA from RNA and vice versa, and in preparing samples for assay of RNA species by reducing the content of related DNA species which can interfere with the assay.

- Tables B and Table C list other preferred compaction agents.
- An E. coli alkaline lysate is preconditioned by an 8-fold dilution with water, and a quaternary ammonium compound; Quatro-diquat, available from SACHEM, (See Example 3) is added in a concentration of 30 uM to 40 uM, and precipitated the plasmid DNA much more than the RNA, producing a supernatent liquid enriched in RNA and a precipate (pellet) enriched in DNA.
- Compaction precipitation with poly quats is also compatible with good applicability in RT-PCR. It can remove genomic DNA effectively, leaving the great majority of the RNA in solution. Care is to be taken so that the precipitant does not interfere with the enzymes.
- Dimapol [l,3-bis(dimethylamino)-2-propanol] (1 mol) is mixed with stirring with 1 mole 1-chloro- 3-trimethylammonium-2 -propanol chloride. Temperature rises to about 30 degrees Celsius. After one hour, an additional 1.4 moles of l-chloro-3-trimethylammonium-2 -propanol chloride and some water are added.

After 6 hours the reaction is complete. 1,3- dichloro-2-propanol (1 mol) is added over 1 hour. The solution is heated to 50 degrees Celsius for three hours. Chloride determination indicated the reaction is complete.

- a sample of white blood cells from a leukemia patient is subjected to cell lysis. An aliquot of each sample is treated with 100 micromolar Quatroquat (Sachem), aged 10 minutes, and centrifuged. The supernatant of each is subject to RT-PCR analysis for expression of four different mRNAs, and the results used to select the course of treatment. An identical treatment with spermidine produces unusable results because of high residual genomic DNA contamination.
- a culture of E. coli bacteria harboring a 6 kilobase plasmid encoding expressing a recombinant form of beta-interferon is suspended in a solution containing 50 micromolar quatroquat and subjected to mechanical lysis using a French press at an average operating pressure of 8,000 psi.
- a substantial fraction of the plasmid survives lysis and is recovered from the lysates by resuspenstion and chromatography.
- a sample of white blood cells from a leukemia patient is subjected to cell lysis by a method which leaves the sample at relatively high ionic strength.
- An aliquot of each sample is treated with 80 micromolar Quatroquat (Sachem), aged 10 minutes, and centrifuged.
- the supernatant of each is subject to RT-PCR analysis for expression of four different mRNAs, and the results used to select the course of treatment.
- An identical treatment with spermidine produces unusable results because the precipitant is not effective at higher ionic strength.
- a culture of E. coli bacteria expressing a recombinant form of beta-interferon is subjected to mechanical lysis using a French press at an average operating pressure of 8,000 psi, the lysate is diluted with water and 30 micromolar PZ-6 (quatrodiquat) is added to precipitate E. coli nucleic acids to facilitate subsequent purification of the expressed protein.
- the resulting treated lysates is lower in viscosity and has fewer anion-exchanger-occupying nucleic acids than an identical lysates treated with 30 mM spermine.
- a solution of Salmon DNA (Sigma- Aldrich) was prepared in 25 mM MOPSO buffer, pH 6.8 at a concentration of 50 micrograms per mL. NaCl concentration was adjusted to 30 mM.
- PZ6 By adding increasing amounts of PZ6 from a 10 mM stock solution in the same buffer (accounting for dilution), a titration curve for the precipitation of DNA by PZ6 was acquired. Each point was a separate determination using a fresh solution of DNA.
- the DNA in solution was determined by measuring the UV -visible absorbance at 258 nm. The solutions were spun down at 9,000 g to remove the precipitated DNA from solution before measuring the absorbance.
- the absorbance of the stock DNA solution itself was 0.823 AU. This result indicates that all of the PZ6 was removed by solution by the cation-exchange resin since the concentration of DNA insolution was that expected for a simple 1 :1 dilution of the stock solution. This was further demonstrated by measuring the absorbance of a solution obtained by adding 500 micro liter of buffer to 500 micro liter of DNA stock solution. The absorbance of this solution was 0.415 AU.
